An internal 625Wh battery keeps the lines clean, while a 100mm fork and 29” wheels roll easily between campgrounds, gravel, and everyday errands. Whether you’re chasing bike paths or hauling groceries back to the campsite, the El Kahuna is the perfect all-rounder.

It’s an e-trekking bike, done the Kona way. Powerful. Practical. Ready for whatever’s down that road.

Call it trekking. Call it touring. Call it wanderlanding. We don’t really care what you call it – as long as you’re out there.
