Rwanda's ban on gasoline-powered motorcycle taxis was enforced around last December, with confiscated vehicles being transported by trucks at the end of the year. Gasoline-powered motorcycle taxis were banned, with confiscations of such vehicles occurring at year-end as part of the mandate to switch to electric vehicles.
