What happens when a security measure unexpectedly sparks a clean transport revolution?

In this episode of Clean Air Report Ghana, host Michael Asharley speaks with JoyNews journalist Mahmud Mohammed-Nurudeen about the increasing adoption of electric motorcycles in Bawku and the surprising benefits residents say they are experiencing. 

What began as a response to restrictions on petrol-powered motorcycles has evolved into a story about cleaner air, quieter streets, lower transport costs and improved quality of life.

Could Bawku's experience offer a glimpse into the future of transportation in Ghana?
