Currently, Kibo Africa Motorcycles manufactures and sells two models of motor bikes, namely, the K150 and the K250, which were used to provide logistical support for safety marshals and camera crews during the Lewa marathon event. The bikes have been built with precision owing to their enhanced features which considerably factor in the different terrains and the topographies of the Kenyan landscape.
