Morocco’s GoSwap Raises Funding Round To Scale Electric Scooter Battery Swapping

Moroccan electric mobility startup GoSwap, founded by Hamza Slimani, has raised its first funding round from Azur Innovation Fund, with plans to secure over MAD 20 M (~USD 2 M).

The Casablanca-based company is scaling its automated battery swapping network for electric scooters, already operating 20 swap stations across CashPlus stores and Petrom and Shell stations.

The funding will support expansion into cities like Marrakech and enable compatibility with more electric motorcycle models.

GoSwap’s model—selling scooters without batteries and offering pay-as-you-go swaps in under 10 seconds—aims to cut costs and eliminate charging delays.

Users can save up to 60% versus combustion bikes, while emissions drop by a similar margin. The startup is positioning itself as a key player in Africa’s rapidly growing two-wheeler electrification market.
