Sustainable mobility startup E Daddy raises $15m

E Daddy, a company specialising in sustainable urban mobility, is poised to transform the UAE’s electric vehicle sector, securing a $15m (around Dhs55m) investment.

The company’s production facilities are located in Dubai Industrial City and the National Industries Park.

E Daddy plans to launch its first fully electric motorcycle in Q1 2025.

The motorcycle, designed to emit zero tailpipe emissions, is expected to save an estimated 0.6 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.

“We are proud to be the first company to manufacture vehicles end-to-end in Dubai and are committed to championing the development of eco-friendly automobiles,” said Mansoor Ali Khan Abdul Buhari, founder and CEO of E Daddy. “Our electric two-wheelers are tailored to the specific needs of the UAE, focusing on temperature control, emission reduction, and the safety of last-mile delivery drivers.”

E Daddy’s tech aims to optimise battery performance

The company integrates self-diagnostic systems and battery technology with a double-layer cooling system in its vehicles.

These features ensure optimal battery performance even in temperatures approaching 50°C, setting the company apart in the rapidly evolving mobility sector.

“With a $15m investment, our vision of building a future where transportation is eco-friendly, efficient, and accessible to all is now within reach,” said Yasmeen Jawahar Ali, co-founder and COO of E Daddy. “We envision a world where clean, sustainable energy is not a luxury but a readily accessible necessity for everyone.”

Looking ahead, E Daddy plans to expand its operations to serve the GCC countries and the African continent from its UAE-based facilities.
