How the journey began
In 2011, while traveling in Africa, Huib Van de Griisparde created Kibo bikes with the ambitious objective of providing safe and reliable mobility for everyone.
The idea was to build a commercially viable bike designed with the East African Terrain in mind.
In 2017, Kibo launched the first bike designed in the Netherlands, assembled in Kenya. The Kibo K150. This became the first purpose built workhorse built to help East African riders to pursue their dreams.
This was later followed by the K160 and K250 which introduced more power, more performance and a more robust experience for the discerning rider.
Since then, Kibo has opened a number of retail centres and service centres across the country, giving Kibo riders one of the most reliable Parts & Accessories support in the industry.
To this day, our DNA remains the same. To help you Go Do More.

What is Go Do More?

It’s the glue that binds us as a company together with all our shareholders. Three words that are our essence.
Go represents the journey, the spirit of taking on the open road to explore and meet new people, new cultures.
Do is all about the amazing entrepreneurial spirit of Kenya and the desire to create, challenge and make lives better.

We value these ideas and they’re at the heart of all that we do.
