Why Amini exists

Kigali has motorcycles without riders, and riders without motorcycles.

Owners hesitate to buy an electric motorcycle because they can't find someone they trust to ride it. Meanwhile, good riders wait at swap stations every day, looking for a bike. Amini closes that gap.

The owner's problem

  • • Hard to find a rider you can trust with your asset
  • • Chasing daily payments, by phone, every day
  • • A missed payment means a locked bike and lost income
  • • No easy way to replace a bad rider

The rider's problem

  • • Skilled riders with no motorcycle to work with
  • • Waiting at swap stations hoping to meet an owner
  • • No way to prove they are reliable
  • • Unclear, informal agreements with owners

The Amini solution: TRP vets every rider, assigns them to an owner's motorcycle, collects the daily payment, pays the owner and replaces riders who break the rules. Everyone sees everything in one app.

How it works

Four simple steps to get started

Whether you ride or you own motorcycles, joining Amini takes a few minutes on your phone.

1

Create your account

Download Amini, choose “I'm a Rider” and enter the phone number linked to your Mobile Money.

2

Get verified

Upload your National ID, Category A licence, police clearance and proof of address. TRP checks every document.

3

Pay 25,000 RWF once

4,000 RWF commitment fee + 21,000 RWF refundable insurance reserve. Paid from your phone.

4

Ride & pay daily

Get your motorcycle, ride, swap batteries at stations and pay 7,000 RWF before 20:00 each day.

Your documents are encrypted and only seen by the TRP verification team.
Where the money goes

One payment. Fully transparent.

Riders don't pay owners directly. They pay TRP through the app, and TRP pays the owner. Every franc is tracked, so nobody has to chase anyone.

What if a rider misses a day?

Every rider keeps a 21,000 RWF insurance reserve with TRP, about three days of payments. If they miss a day, the reserve pays the owner, so the owner's income stays safe and the motorcycle isn't locked. The rider tops the reserve back up and a late penalty applies.

FAQ

Questions? We have answers.

Any rider who passes TRP vetting. You upload your National ID, a Category A driving licence, a police clearance (under 6 months old) and proof of address from your umudugudu leader. We verify them before you are matched with a motorcycle.

A one-time 25,000 RWF: 4,000 RWF is a commitment fee, and 21,000 RWF is a refundable insurance reserve, which covers about three days of remittance if you ever miss a payment.

Pay 7,000 RWF before 20:00 every day, straight from the Amini app with MTN MoMo or Airtel Money. You approve the payment on your phone and get a receipt right away.

A late penalty is added and your discipline score drops. If you miss a day, your insurance reserve pays the owner so your motorcycle isn't locked. You then top the reserve back up.

Yes. If you leave the program with nothing outstanding, 80% of the insurance reserve is refunded. The rest covers administration and risk management.

At any Ampersand swap station. The Stations tab in the app shows the nearest stations, their hours and how many charged batteries are ready.
