Design
The Jidi, a testament to ingenuity and collaboration, emerges from the heart of Accra,
Ghana, tailored for the bustling urban roads across Africa. Its design, characterised by durability, superior ground clearance, and an optimised mid-motor layout, is the result of an in-depth dialogue with the very people who navigate these roads daily.
Built from the ground up, the Jidi features dual top-down, removable Kofa Kore2 batteries, an extended seat for added comfort, and customisable carrying solutions. These unique elements ensure that the Jidi stands out not just for its appearance but for its practicality in the day-to-day lives of its users.
The design of the Jidi, is the result of a collaborative effort between Kofa and the vibrant community of riders and gig workers in Accra. This hands-on approach, has made the Jidi much more than a motorcycle but a co-creation with the very people it serves.
