What would be an ideal bicycle?
fitted with a small motor that could be used when necessary
still cheap enough for them to be prepared to make the investment (max 8000-10,000Ksh)
sufficiently sophisticated to overcome the prejudice that they are only for poor people (currently the better educated, better off prefer to walk to the main roads and wait to be crammed into the local minibuses, mutatu, even though that takes longer and involves more effort on their part)
would enable them to carry heavier loads without adding greatly to the effort involved
would enable them to carry loads as well as a passenger more easily than they can at present
would give the passenger more comfort and protection
would not add greatly to the weight of the bicycle itself
would have an easily removable seat to allow transporting baggage instead
