Roam's flagship product, the Roam Air, is Kenya's first locally designed and manufactured electric motorcycle. Priced affordably and built for long rural rides, it is now used by thousands of riders – including on platforms like Uber and Bolt. In 2024, Roam showcased its innovation by completing a 6,000 km journey from Kenya to South Africa using only solar-charged motorcycles.

The new Generation 2 Roam Air is one kilogram lighter than its predecessor, contributing to improved battery efficiency and overall handling. A reinforced frame now supports up to 240 kilograms – 20 kilograms more than the original model – allowing the motorcycle to better handle the demands of daily transport on Kenya's diverse roads. The new version introduces a lockable single-door battery compartment aimed at reducing theft and simplifying the battery exchange process, one of the key concerns raised by riders in the earlier model.
