NAIROBI, KENYA – JUNE 24, 2025 — A new force has risen to take on a menace lurking in nearly every corner of the country. No, it’s not potholes (we’re still negotiating with them). We’re talking about The Rusty Car Plague— that motionless, tetanus-infused, oil-dripping fossil that has been sitting in your front yard since the price of airtime was 5 bobs or when there was no airtime.
Enter: Motor Krowd — a superhero squad of car enthusiasts, mechanics, misfit gearheads, investors, and recovering car hoarders who are tired of Kenya looking like a “Fast & Furious” junkyard special.
Motor Krowd is more than just a platform — it’s a movement, a tribe, a rebellion against the tyranny of rust. We rescue abandoned wrecks and give them new life as restored, drool-worthy rides. Think "Pimp My Ride" meets Gikomba meets Ethereum. It's like if your favorite mech and Elon Musk had a kid — and raised it in a garage behind Kenyatta Market. Ok, that was working in my head until it was,nt.
If your compound is slowly turning into an open-air scrapyard — complete with tetanus risk, mosquito HQ, and your partner giving you that look every time they hang laundry — you need us.
Your partner thought they married a loving human, not a part-time scrap dealer. That 1986 Corolla shell you promised to "fix next weekend" is now hosting an entire family of cats. We help restore love — and the lawn — by towing away your regrets and turning them into someone else's dream machine.
We know mechanics are the unsung heroes holding Kenyan transport together with baling wire, spit, and blind faith. But the future is coming fast. Electric cars, digital dashboards, and yes, most kenyans are at the tailend of manufacturing buying cars that already have sensor failure, this also can change.
Motor Krowd helps mechanics:
Access training (no more “Google said...” diagnostics)
Get clients who actually pay
Avoid saying “tunajenga yote” when you clearly specialize in Toyota engines only
Be part of future-ready garages that don’t look like a scene from Mad Max
We’re also putting together Kenya’s first tokenized car building platform. That’s right. You’ll soon be able to invest in car builds, support your favorite garages, or even own a slice of that sexy custom Datsun your neighbor keeps staring at. We’re working with local investment banks to keep it legal, above board, and officially un-ruggable.
This ain’t crypto-in-the-basement energy. It’s gearhead Wall Street vibes — but with more grease and fewer suits.
Because we love motion. Bikes, bicycles, cars, planes, trains, rollerblades, scooters, and electrons (in no particular order). And we know we’re not alone. Kenya is full of tinkerers, builders, dreamers, and gearheads who just need a place to shine — and maybe make a buck while at it.
We’re launching Motor Krowd Beta this quarter. And we want YOU — the mechanic, the car owner, the ex-rally driver, the engineering student, the classic car hoarder, or just the guy whose lawn is 80% bonnet — to join us.
Let’s clean up our neighborhoods, restore some beauty, create jobs, and maybe, just maybe, make Kenya the vintage car capital of Africa.
Before we wrap this greasy masterpiece, big ups to our first official partner, Euro Spare Parts — supplying European car parts at Chinese prices. Yes, you heard that right. That’s a thing now. No more selling a kidney just to replace your Audi's side mirror. Euro Spare Parts is the plug for every Kenyan whose German machine has been quietly falling apart since it left Hamburg. From BMW brains to Peugeot blinkers, they got you covered faster than your mech can say, “Hii part ni ngumu kupata.”
Thanks, EuroSpareParts — for proving that European doesn’t always mean expensive… just complicated.
