Kibo Africa has launched the latest iteration of its Kibo 250R motorcycle, designed to elevate urban mobility standards in Kenya. Equipped with a robust 250cc engine and exceptional fuel efficiency reaching up to 33km per litre, the bike promises a blend of affordability and adventure. CEO Huib van de Grijspaarde underscored its significance in addressing the challenges confronting Kenyan youth, offering practicality and ease of maintenance amid economic strains. The emphasis on local manufacturing, with over 30 components produced domestically, drew praise from Tobias Alando of the Kenya Association of Manufacturers, highlighting its role in job creation and skills development.

The Kibo 250R is tailored to the needs of the modern rider, featuring a crisp digital display, LED lights for enhanced visibility during night rides, and convenient USB ports for device charging on long journeys. Van de Grijspaarde further accentuated Kibo’s broader impact on Kenya’s economy and society, noting its collaboration with technicians nationwide and its integral role in supporting local businesses. With seven years in the Kenyan market, Kibo has entrenched itself as more than just a motorcycle provider, becoming a vital component of the country’s socioeconomic fabric.
