![]() The company has recently spent considerable time developing a motorcycle specifically designed for African road conditions – the Vuka RT 125, which will be launched in August 2009. ![]() Vuka evaluated more than 30 Chinese motorcycles and scooter models before deciding on the right models for the African climate and road conditions. Features include improved rubber components, stronger shock absorbers, and more durable instrument panels for the African sun. The stylish motorcycles and scooters are manufactured in China but assembled in South Africa and have been developed for South African and African conditions. Launched in 2006, the Vuka (an isiXhosa word, meaning “wake up” or “get moving”) two-wheelers have become increasingly popular, especially in light of the unpredictable cost of fuel, high interest rates, and often unbearable congestion of South Africa’s urban roads. The company has started marketing its motor scooters in Mozambique, Angola, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Not content with revolutionising the way South Africans commute, local developer Vuka Scuta is now branching out into other African countries.
