The 2023 Orbea Kemen 30 Electric Hybrid Bike is a lightweight electric hybrid bike. It uses the same technology found on Orbea’s Urrun and Rise electric mountain bikes. The Kemen is great for city streets but the confident, secure handling means you don't need to worry if your ride includes rougher roads or gravel paths.
The Kemen is built around a hydroformed aluminium frame.
Orbea manipulate the shapes and wall-thickness of their aluminium tubing to
increase strength and resistance to unwanted flex. Many of the tubes are butted
to save weight in the middle of the tubes, away from the stress of the joints
and the weld zones. Integrated batteries remove weight and allow slimmer,
better looking designs. Fully internal cables limit the possibility of damage,
or rubbing but also remove clutter, leaving you to focus on the ride.
The Shimano EP8 motor has plentiful power for the steepest
roads and the heaviest loads, more than enough to get you up to speed quickly
and whisk you to work without breaking a sweat. The cutting edge battery means
that even with a fully loaded bike you can expect over 5 hours of riding.
Kemen´s wider tyres add stability and control no matter the
terrain. More aggressive treads prioritise performance off road while slicker
tyres work best on hard surfaces. 100mm mountain bike forks give space for
mudguards, bigger tyres and plenty of suspension for when the road turns rough.
Riders who want a slick looking electric hybrid bike which
can handle rougher paths and tracks as well as tarmac.
As electric bikes have become more sophisticated it’s important to stay on top of updates. Just like your home computer or smart phone regular updates are now released for most electric bike systems. If you buy a bike from Cycles UK we will do electric bike updates and diagnostics you need free of charge.
Electric bike updates can help to improve battery life, tweak how the motor works and fix bugs and problems. Most systems will require you to plug your bike into some specialist software at an authorised dealer. At Cycles UK we are authorised dealers for top electric bike brands including Specialized, Trek, Orbea, Whyte, Cannondale and Raleigh. As a result our stores have the software and hardware to run updates on all the major electric bike systems including Bosch, Shimano and Ebikemotion.
We now provide free updates and diagnostics for life on any electric bike purchased from Cycles UK.
Electric bikes have really come into their own in the last couple of years. Thanks to advances in electric bike motors and batteries. A couple of bike manufacturers, most notably Specialized, are making their own electric bike motors. The vast majority of bike companies are using the same motors. So, you will find exactly the same electric motor being used on bikes from different brands and at different price points. In this guide, we’ll take you through the main types of electric bike motors. Look at the differences between the most commonly used brands.
Electric bikes tend to either come with a hub motor or a mid-drive motor. Mid-drive motors sit where the cranks and bottom bracket are on a bike and drive the cranks and chain around. Hub drive motors sit in the middle of the wheel and drive the wheel directly. Hub drive electric bikes are cheaper but less efficient, and less smooth, to ride.
The Orbea electric bike range covers everything from electric hybrids and mountain bikes, through to electric road bikes. Orbea use a range of electric bike systems according to different models. These include Bosch, Shimano and Mahle. Orbea are based in the Basque country and most of their electric bikes are developed and built in their factory there.
A lot of Orbea bikes will have a model number such as H30 or M20. Any bike with a H model number will have an aluminium frame. Bikes with an M model number will have a carbon fibre frame. Carbon frames will typically be lighter and smoother to ride but will also be more expensive.
Orbea pronounced Or-bay-ah is named after the brothers who founded the company in 1840. Initially, the company manufactured rifles and guns. The company has been making bikes since the early 1930s and winning Tour de France stages for just as long. All Orbea Bikes are assembled at the Orbea Factory based in the heart of the Basque country in Northern Spain or in their facility in Portugal.
Orbea does things a little differently from many of the big American bike brands. As the heart of Orbea's manufacturing is still in Spain and Portugal Orbea can offer much more customised service. This includes the ability to swap out colours and parts on most of their higher-end bikes to suit individual customers through their MyO program.
Although best known for their road bikes Orbea are increasingly making a name for themselves as a mountain bike brand.
