World-renowned Spanish bicycle manufacturer Orbea has introduced the Kemen series of bikes. The Kemen\u00a0is an electric bike built for city riding, with an emphasis on urban convenience and practicality. The\u00a0inclusion of an SUV variant also appeals to those with a fondness\u00a0for trail and off-road riding. The Kemen comes in two styles: a step-through frame in sizes Small\u00a0to Large, and a crossbar frame in sizes Small\u00a0to Extra\u00a0Large.<\/p>\n

Both frames are comprised of triple-butted aluminum with smoothened\u00a0welds, which Orbea<\/a> claims gives them a premium,\u00a0carbon-like aesthetic and results in a more sturdy, lighter frame. The battery is integrated into the frame, further giving the bike a streamlined appearance. For customers’ peace of mind, t he frame comes with a lifetime warranty from Orbea. With 2.25-inch\u00a0tires, mudguards, a kickstand, a rack certified for weights up to 18kg, and a built-in trailer hitch, the standard Kemen is marketed as a\u00a0hybrid city e-bike for riding around town, as well as the occasional trail at your local park.<\/p>\n

The Orbea Kemen has a sensible design that will appeal to commuters, but Orbea also offers the Kemen SUV, a more robust machine with a penchant for off-road adventure. This version has larger 2.35-inch tires with a knobbier, more off-road-friendly\u00a0tread pattern,\u00a0and a sturdier rack that can carry payloads of up to 27 kilograms, allowing you to add a child seat and quite a bit of luggage.\u00a0 StVZO-compliant lighting is fitted onto\u00a0both the Kemen and the Kemen SUV, guaranteeing optimal visibility at night. The rear light even\u00a0has an accelerometer built in and flashes brighter when the vehicle is decelerating, functioning as a two-in-one tail light and brake light.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Kemen and Kemen SUV are equipped with a Shimano Steps EP8 motor that produces 85Nm of torque. Orbea’s patented 540Wh high-energy density battery<\/a> is completely incorporated into the frame, adding to the bikes sleek styling. Orbea claims it will provide you more than five hours of riding time, but that depends a lot on how and where you ride the bike, as well as how much you rely on the electric motor for assistance. Furthermore,\u00a0 Orbea employs the newest Shimano Linkglide drivetrain, a group-set designed specifically for application on e-bikes. This upgrade beefs up the chain and sprockets to accommodate increased continuous\u00a0torque from the mid-mounted motor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Orbea claims that their smart charger can completely charge the battery in four hours,\u00a0and can increase the battery’s lifespan by up to 30 percent. To add more capacity, a\u00a0252Wh range extender battery is available as an optional extra.\u00a0feature internal\u00a0motor control and display cable routing that runs\u00a0through the bars, stem, and frameset. T he rear brake hose and shifter cables run outside at the bars, then inside from the stem, eliminating frame clutter and reducing the danger of damage in the event of a tip-over or drop.<\/p>\n

At the moment, there are a total of four Kemen models available\u2014the 10 and 30, each with a standard and SUV variant. The most premium of which is the Kemen 10, which comes with \u00a0a 100mm-travel Fox 34 Float AWL fork,\u00a0a premium\u00a011-speed Shimano XT Linkglide group-set,\u00a02.5-inch\u00a0Schwalbe tyres, and a 100mm-travel dropper post. The Kemen 10 and Kemen 10 SUV each retail for $5,499. Meanwhile, the Kemen 30, the more affordable version,\u00a0boasts a 100mm-travel Marzocchi Bomber Z2 fork and Shimano Deore Linkglide gears. The Kemen 30 misses out on a dropper post. Pricing for the Kemen 30 is set at $4,599 for both the standard and SUV versions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
