KONA LIBRE EL | A gravel E-BIKE that can take you further
Conquer hills and headwinds, and reach the destinations you've always wanted to see.
The LIBRE EL is an electric gravel bike born from KONA's popular gravel model, the "LIBRE." With a Shimano drive unit and a large-capacity battery, it significantly expands the freedom of your rides.
The unique appeal of an E-BIKE is its ability to let you enjoy the scenery and detours without exhausting yourself, even on long climbs or roads with strong headwinds. This allows you to continue riding naturally on long rides, bike-packing trips, and routes with many ascents and descents.
The lightweight yet highly rigid KONA 6061 aluminum frame combined with a Verso Full Carbon Flat Mount Disc fork ensures both stability and nimble handling. The high operability of the Shimano GRX components and the excellent off-road capability provided by the dropper post are also attractive features.
This E-gravel bike is recommended for those who want to enjoy greater freedom in their travels, not just on paved roads, but also on forest trails, gravel, and beyond.

While E-BIKES are often associated with city riding, the LIBRE EL is a bike that can truly be "played with."
Not only does it make climbing hills easier, but it also allows you to cover greater distances while conserving energy, naturally creating the余裕 (yoyu, "room" or "leisure") to think, "Let's go a little further." Even on touring trips with luggage, the ride remains comfortable, and the ability to enjoy routes with many ascents and descents without getting overly tired is a unique advantage of E-gravel bikes.
The bike retains the handling feel of a sports bike, offering a level of completion that even experienced road or gravel riders can enjoy without feeling out of place. This model is highly recommended for those interested in E-BIKES who also desire the "joy of proper riding."
