Kona El Kahuna

The Kona El Kahuna Electric Mountain Bike makes trail riding more accessible, more fun, and a lot less intimidating. Built by Kona, this e-mountain bike blends classic hardtail trail design with smooth electric assist—perfect for riders who want to go farther, climb easier, and enjoy more trail with less effort.

Electric pedal assist helps flatten climbs and extend your ride, allowing you to focus on line choice, scenery, and pure riding enjoyment. The hardtail setup keeps the bike efficient and responsive, while wide tires and stable geometry provide confidence on gravel roads, forest trails, and moderate singletrack.

The El Kahuna is ideal for riders new to mountain biking, those returning to the sport, or anyone who wants a boost to explore longer routes without overexertion. It’s also a great equalizer for groups with mixed fitness levels—keeping everyone riding together.
