Unregistered electric bikes and tricycles raise alarm over safety, crime in Tanzania

Dar/Dodoma. Most electric tricycles and bikes operating in Dar es Salaam and Dodoma are running without registration, insurance, or visible number plates, despite clear legal requirements, a recent investigation by The Citizen has found.

The situation exposes residents in the two cities to heightened risks of preventable accidents and crime, as offenders can engage in such incidents and easily flee the scenes.
