Looking ahead to 2009, the AfricaBike has been given a few modifications. As always, it's still designed with the African terrain and people in mind, but the new overhaul is, well, a bit burlier. 
The new 2009 3-speed model (pictured) now has an integrated rear rack to support more weight and a folding basket so it can be included inside the bike box (instead of being shipped separately). Ultimately, this will help reduce shipping costs worldwide.
For updated info on the AfricaBike's progression stay tuned to the site.
I am so excited! I wish I didn't have to wait 6 months to get it!

I have visited some of Africa, well off the regular tourist spots and I cannot tell you how fantastic this project is. Infact I just bought my wife one... It rides very light for its weight, Its simply fun. Put a seat on the back, and Im her taxi driver home late from the pub. Excellent! Thank you Kona - The only bike I will ride.
