In addition to its operating cost-effectiveness, the Kibo 250R provides a unique blend of adventure and manoeuvrability, allowing riders to explore new horizons.

Speaking at the launch event, Kibo Africa CEO Huib van de Grijspaarde stated that the new bike aims to address some of the challenges many of Kenya’s working youth face by providing practicality and easy maintenance in the face of rising economic pressures.

“We recognise the challenges that individuals face, which push them to find new ways of relaxation and adventure. More Kenyans are turning to motorcycling as a means of transport and stress relief. With the introduction of the Kibo 250R, we hope to alleviate some of these burdens by offering an easy-to-maintain solution that does not sacrifice quality or adventure,” said van de Grijspaarde.

“We are proud of the initiative by Kibo who have localised the manufacture of at least 30 components used on their new product. This localisation helps create jobs at all levels of the value chain and supports skills transfer within the Kenyan market. Incentivising local manufacturing will go a long way in making products manufactured in Kenya competitive in regional and global markets,” said Tobias Alando, Chief Operating Officer at the Kenya Association of Manufacturers.

The K250R has been designed with the modern rider in mind, offering a digital display, LED lights that allow night riding, and USB ports that allow the rider to keep their devices powered even when they go for long rides.
