Boda Hub
Automated lockersKeep your bike moving.
Automated battery-swap smart lockers for electric motorcycles: find a hub, reserve a pack, scan, swap and pay with M-Pesa.
Self-service lockers are in design and testing. Partner-run Boda Hub sites are already listed on Charging Hub.
Find a hub, reserve a pack, scan, swap and ride.
Riders use one Precifarm account and pay every swap with M-Pesa. Partners host the site; Precifarm builds the lockers, software and care around it.
Boda Hub is outdoor energy infrastructure for electric motorcycles: silver smart lockers, one shared 2.56 kWh Energy Module in every door, and remote care from the same Precifarm network that already runs home, fleet and highway charging.
- Riders
- Back on the road in minutes: charged pack out, empty pack in
- Hosts
- Turn your forecourt or stage into a swap stop, no shop to staff
- Network
- Same Precifarm ops, Agent and M-Pesa as the rest of the range
The lockers
One machine. Three sizes.
Quiet streets get a compact cabinet. Busy hubs get a standard. Peak stages get a bank. Same shell, same doors, same software.

Energy Module
One pack. Every door.
The 2.56 kWh Energy Module is the battery riders swap, the same block used across Precifarm modular energy. One spare. One training path. One network.

Hardware
Simple outside. Smart inside.
A public-place cabinet riders understand in seconds: screen, doors, status lights.
- 01
Rider screen
One next step at a time: scan, open, return, pay.
- 02
Smart doors
Each door locks, charges and watches its own Energy Module.
- 03
Safety first
If a pack fails a check, that door stays out of service.
- 04
Outdoor shell
Silver cabinet for streets and stages (weather rating still under test).
How sites grow
Add a cabinet, not a building.
When rush hour empties the doors, park another locker beside the first. Same look. More capacity.
- Fits a forecourt, stage edge or shop front
- One design language across every site
- Partners provide land and power
- Precifarm provides lockers, software and monitoring
The swap
Built for riders in a hurry.
Four screens. No counter. No guesswork.
Welcome · Scan your Precifarm app→Bay 04 · Take charged module→Return · Insert empty module→Done · Have a good ride
- 01
Find & reserve
Precifarm Agent shows nearby hubs with charged packs. Reserve before you arrive.
- 02
Scan
App, QR or tap: the locker knows it is you.
- 03
Take charged
One door opens. Slide out the Energy Module.
- 04
Return empty
Put yours where the screen says. It locks after checks pass.
- 05
Pay & ride
See the price. Pay with M-Pesa. Go.
Trust
We do not hand out a pack we have not checked.
Identity, pack health and payment rules come before the door opens. Failed packs stay with technicians, not the next rider.
- One door at a time on a normal swap
- Safe override when something jams
- Heat or faults take a door offline
- No release if payment rules fail
Kenya
Built for weak signal days.
Doors and safety stay on the locker. Accounts and pricing stay online. If the link drops, safe swaps can still complete and sync later. We never skip payment or safety to keep doors open.
Compatibility
One module first. Others earn a place.
Phase 1 is the Precifarm 2.56 kWh Energy Module. Other battery types join only after fit, power, communication, safety and commercial checks. We will not claim every e-boda pack works.
The Precifarm system
Lockers are only half the product.
- Smart pick
- The network chooses a healthy charged pack, not only the fullest one.
- M-Pesa
- Pay per swap, plans or fleet accounts. Price before you confirm.
- Remote ops
- We see stock, faults and uptime, and send field care before riders feel it.
- Precifarm Agent
- Points you to a hub before you run out of range.

Roadmap
Prove it. Pilot it. Scale it.
1 · Prototype
One working locker: doors, charging and safe swaps.
2 · Pilot
A few controlled sites. Real riders. Real uptime.
3 · Partner rollout
Host sites, remote ops and M-Pesa at scale.
4 · Network
More towns. More pack types only when they pass the gate.
Tariffs and payback come from pilots, not invented numbers on this page.
Power, fire, battery handling, payments and data rules must clear Kenyan requirements before unattended public use.
Pilots follow Kenyan safety and electrical rules, checked with licensed professionals before unattended public use.
Common questions
Can I use Automated Boda Hub today?
Not as self-service yet. This page is the product we are building. Live Boda Hub listings on Charging Hub still run with staff or partners on site.
What battery does it use?
Precifarm's 2.56 kWh Energy Module — the same capacity block used in modular energy. Every locker door is built around it.
Is this a different brand from Boda Hub?
No. Same Precifarm silver cabinet language and blue lights, automated for self-service, not a new brand.
Are Compact, Standard and Bank different products?
No. One locker design in three footprints. Busy sites add cabinets beside the first.
Does Precifarm staff every hub?
No. Partners host the site. Precifarm supplies lockers, software, payments and remote support.
Will my other motorcycle battery work?
Only after that pack type is tested and approved. We start with the 2.56 kWh Energy Module.
What if there is no internet?
Safety and doors stay on the locker. Swaps can sync when the signal returns. We do not skip payment or safety just to keep doors open.
How do I pay?
M-Pesa first: per swap, plans or fleet accounts. You always see the price before you confirm.
