Kabira Mobility KM3000, KM4000 Mark-II Models Launched
The refreshed KM3000 electric bike inherits a sporty silhouette but rests the sharp edges. It now sports a rounder tank and fairing design, alongside gold-painted telescopic forks and a new steel tube swingarm (aluminum on the premium V variant). Its bigger sibling, the KM4000, undergoes a more dramatic makeover, ditching the circular headlight for an oval one, adopting a rounder tank, and amplifying the aggressiveness of its tank extensions and battery covers.
Despite their aesthetic differences, both models share the same diamond steel tube frame and tyre size, same ground clearance, seat height and kerb weight. Both the Kabira KM3000 and KM4000 boast user-friendly 5-inch TFT instrument consoles equipped with Bluetooth connectivity for smartphone pairing. They also offer two display modes, "Light" and "Dark," to suit your preferences, and integrate cruise control for relaxed highway cruising.
