'Electra' officially launched the 2023 'Kakau Go!' as the latest addition to the Electra Artist Series of e-bikes. The Kakau Go! 2023 features a unique Matte Ember frame and a unique tribal pattern, both reminiscent of Polynesia, as the Matte Ember resembles the lava rock found natively in the region. One additional notable aspect of the 2023 Kakau Go!'s design is its wood grain accents and underlays. These match the colors of the Koa tree and wood commonly used in surfboards in the Polynesia region. Essentially, the 2023 Kakau Go! is a beautiful homage to Polynesia and its established surfer culture.
Aside from its design, though, the Kakau Go! holds its own with its specifications. The bike is powered by a dual hub motor with a 6-bolt disc, which is supplied power by a 250 Wh battery. The bike features non-slip resin treads on its pedals, a 180mm disc brake, and Bluetooth connectivity for its integrated smart display.
The Electra 2023 Kakau Go! is available now from Electra at an MSRP of $1,799.99 USD.
