Evidence before advice.
Published guides separate manufacturer specifications, official platform data and Overdrive's evidence-based conclusions. Prices, availability and other fast-changing details need a named source and a visible checked date.
Every useful guide should explain
- Who the machine suits and the compromises that buyer accepts.
- What Kenyan roads, fuel, charging, service and parts support mean for ownership.
- Which claims are sourced facts and which conclusions use Overdrive's buying framework.
- What may have changed since the guide was checked.
