2023 KEMEN 10
ESCAPE THE EVERYDAY
The best tools are ones you use daily – the perfect bike is one that fits seamlessly with your many needs. Tireless, capacious and effortless, Kemen goes beyond simple utility by turning ebike rides into delightful mini-adventures. Whizz through the morning traffic, breath fresh air on your way to work, let Kemen take the strain so you don´t break a sweat. After work take the long way home, escape the bike lane and have an urban adventure.
KEMEN READY FOR THE CITY
Kemen owns the city streets, designed for speed and comfort. Confident, secure handling means you don't worry if your ride includes rougher roads or gravel paths.
TIRELESS
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.
FAST AND CLEAN
Both models come with sleek, sturdy fenders which ensure you arrive to your destination clean and dry. Kemen SUV uses wider fenders, with a custom shape to offer more protection when things get dirty.
WHAT MAKES KEMEN UNIQUE?
MOTOR
SHIMANO EP8 MOTOR
With the EP8 motor Kemen has plenty of power for the steepest roads and the heaviest loads. The EP8 motor´s 85NM is more than enough to get you up to speed quickly and whisk you to work without breaking a sweat. The EP8 motor also offers the lowest pedalling friction of any ebike motor, meaning you can even pedal the bike with the motor off.
RANGE
5 HOURS OF PEDALLING ASSISTANCE
The highly-optimised 540Wh main battery combined with the highly efficient EP8 motor gives enough pedalling assistance for over 5 hours of city riding, even with a fully loaded bike. If you need more you can always add our Range Extender.
RANGE EXTENDER
Our RS Range Extender battery gives you an additional 252Wh of exploration. Combined with the internal battery that’s an impressive 792Wh. The Range Extender provides instantaneous power, so plug in any time or remove it and leave the extra weight at home. The Range Extender can also be used as a convenient extra battery when it isn't possible to bring your Kemen to a charging point.
INTERFACE
CONNECT TO THE RIDE
From the discrete power button to the choice of displays, Kemen connects you to the ride.
SHIMANO E-TUBE APPS
Connecting your phone to the SC-EM800 display allows you to use your mobile to display more information about your bike, battery and GPS navigation assistance.
GEOMETRY
ALL TERRAIN GEOMETRY
The geometry of a bike is what makes it stable or nervous, balanced or wobbly, and it is especially important for a bike designed to lug loads. With its robust construction, comfortable, stable position, and predictable steering Kemen is a dependable companion for every situation.
INTEGRATION
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS
Kemen brings with it many cutting edge technologies aimed at simplifying the design and removing unnecessary weight. Integrated batteries remove weight and allow us to use 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.
FULLY INTERNAL CABLES
Kemen takes a fresh look at e-bike design, always looking for innovative ways to integrate systems and remove unnecessary clutter. Our internal cable system routes all brake, light, gear and motor control cables inside the handlebar and frame, keeping them safe from damage and integrating them in the sleek design.
INTEGRATED BATTERY
Our integrated battery simplifies the mounting and locking systems, greatly reducing weight and size as well as increasing the stiffness of the frame. We believe that lighter, slimmer, more natural looking ebikes are the future.
SMART CHARGER
Our Smart Charger constantly monitors the battery, giving a fast, safe charge, as well as increasing the battery lifetime.
MATERIALS
ORBEA HYDROFORMED ALUMINUM
We manipulate the shapes and wall-thickness of our aluminum 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. Using aluminum technologies as advanced as our carbon manufacturing ensures our aluminum bikes are never second-best.
HIGH POLISH ALLOY
The biggest news for alloy is the addition of a new high-polished welds hydroformed frame. The aluminum frame receives the same level of design attention as our carbon frames - The tubes are butted and hydroformed with smooth, polished welds to match the dramatic look of a monocoque frame.
In addition to the aesthetic improvement, there is also an important functional advantage to working and smoothing the welds since these junctions are the highest stress points of the frame. The extra time associated with producing these frames means that only our most exclusive hydroformed frames are manufactured this way. Hours of additional hand work and bead blasting ensure a premium product that looks and performs like no other.
ACCESORIES
DESIGN YOUR ADVENTURE
The best tools are ones you use daily – the perfect bike is one that fits seamlessly with your many needs. Choose your Kemen and start your adventure here.
KICKSTAND
The neat mounts for kickstands simplify mounting without interfering with pedalling and are strong enough to support a fully laden Kemen SUV.
INTEGRATED LIGHTS
Integrated head and tail lamps announce your presence day and night while additional high powered STVZO approved lights allow you to switch between high and super high beams without taking your hands from the handlebars. An integrated rear super bright alert light tells people behind you when you are braking. Fully integrated lighting is just one more feature to enhance your ride and keep you safe.
LINKGLIDE
The new Shimano linkglide drivetrain works perfectly with the electric motor, offering smoother shifting and longer lifespan while removing gears that aren't necessary with the electric motor removes weight and complexity.
