The Orbea KEMEN SUV 30 is an adventure commuter equipped with sturdy aluminum alloy fenders, bright well-positioned integrated lights, and an optional range extending battery pack shaped like a water bottle. Available in two frame styles and four frame sizes for improved fit, three colors to match your style or stand out for safety, and the purpose built frame protects and hides most cables and wires. Knobby off-road tires include puncture protection and reflective stripes. Highly adjustable air suspension fork with sturdy Boost hub spacing, and 15mm thru-axle. Powerful Shimano EP8 mid-drive motor. The primary battery pack is not easily removable for transport or charging. If you get the range extender, it must be charged independently from the main pack. The charge port is low on the frame near the left crank. The bike power button is separate from the control pad.
