Cross-border collaboration is becoming key to solving Africa’s mobility challenges. A new agreement between Pixii Motors and POGO, signed during GITEX AFRICA 2026, reflects a shared focus on developing efficient and sustainable electric transport solutions for growing cities.
The agreement, represented by Anis Fekih for Pixii Motors and Brahim El Bekkali for POGO, reflects a shared ambition to develop practical, scalable and locally relevant mobility systems. It also opens up new opportunities in electric transport, embedded technology and urban innovation. With support from Madica and Open Startup, the partnership highlights how collaboration can accelerate innovation across borders.
Driving Innovation Through Smart Electric Mobility
At the center of this partnership is Pixii Motors’ focus on advanced electric mobility solutions. The company has built a strong reputation for combining hardware and software to create intelligent transport systems. Its flagship electric scooter, the Shadow, shows how deep technology can be applied to everyday mobility.
The scooter is designed with advanced embedded systems that allow it to process data in real time. It uses artificial intelligence to improve performance, including predictive maintenance, battery optimization and intelligent safety systems. These features are built into the scooter’s core design, allowing it to adapt to different urban environments and rider behavior.
Safety is also a key focus. The Shadow includes blind spot detection sensors, crash detection systems and anti-theft protection. It operates through a smart cockpit that does not rely on a smartphone, supported by strong connectivity and intelligent algorithms.
Pixii Motors has also introduced an embedded chatbot to help users manage their scooters more easily. In addition, its battery swap system allows riders to replace batteries quickly, reducing downtime and improving convenience. These innovations show how the company is working to build not just a product, but a complete mobility solution.
Beyond individual riders, Pixii Motors is targeting businesses through its SaaS-based fleet management platform. This system includes features such as geofencing and cloud data recovery, helping companies manage fleets more efficiently. This approach positions Pixii Motors as a provider of a full mobility ecosystem rather than just a vehicle manufacturer.
Expanding Access to Sustainable Urban Transport
While Pixii Motors brings advanced technology, POGO focuses on making electric mobility accessible to everyday users. Founded in 2021, the Moroccan startup is working to simplify transport in cities through electric scooter and motorcycle rental services.
POGO offers shared mobility solutions that provide a practical and cost-effective alternative to traditional transport. Its services are designed to meet the needs of urban commuters looking for flexible and eco-friendly options. By offering both scooter and motorcycle rentals, the company is helping to reduce reliance on fuel-based transport.
The company is also responding to growing climate and urban mobility challenges. Through its focus on electric vehicles and leasing solutions, POGO aims to support the development of smarter and more sustainable cities in Morocco. Its model promotes cleaner transport while also contributing to economic and social development.
This partnership with Pixii Motors is expected to strengthen POGO’s ability to scale its services. By integrating advanced technology into its operations, the company can improve efficiency, enhance user experience and expand its reach.
Overall, the collaboration between Pixii Motors and POGO reflects a broader shift towards sustainable mobility in Africa. By combining innovation with accessibility, the two companies are creating solutions that are both practical and forward-looking. As cities continue to grow and face transport challenges, partnerships like this will play an important role in shaping the future of urban mobility across the continent.
