I'm here "(rarely) and seem to be doing fine getting the bike off the rack and okay putting it on. My husband got an ebike so we had to get a new rack anyway. i got one with a ramp but often don't use it. i do weights rwice a week and have built enoigh strength to manage my 42 lb.. bike. I...

Mine is a 2022.

I think the original owners bought Kona back but my local bike shop thinks they are struggling.

I'm not a techie but my Kona dew-e dl does great in my hilly neighborhood. The gearing is such that even with power off I scoot up hills easier than I did with my touring bike (non-electric). I love it.

Welcome to the Dew-e dl club @newtothis Looks like you did a thorough search. I'm jealous of your discounted price. No discounts when I was looking. I live in a hilly city (I know everyone hears Midwest and thinks flat but we're in the river bluffs) and this bike makes me smile every time I...

I haven't ridden the El Kahuna but I love my Dew-e dl. My city streets have lots of irregularities so not so different from gravel. I've ridden it a fair amount on crushed gravel also. Sweet bike.

I'm grateful for the friendships that biking has brought me. And though we would continue those friendships when we can no longer make it up the hills, ebiking has kept us rolling on our activity of choice.

I had a checklist of what I wanted in a bike and knew there'd be some compromises. in the end the thing I gave up was the step through cause the bike I fell in love with didn't have that option. Right now I'm riding it with a box bag on the back. I can see that I'll probably be ditching that...

Just checked with Kona. My Dew-e dl has a removable but integrated battery and they told me to leave it on. The battery isn't that hard to remove but it leaves a lot of stuff exposed.

It is a sweet bike. I can keep up with my buddy who likes to cruise at 15 mph and does hills, or turn it off on a trail with an 84 year old friend who ambles at 8 mph. I'll use it for errands even if my return trip is all uphill. So glad it is working for you.

Did you ever get a resolution on this issue @EmilyRides ? I've known that my odometer was somewhat inaccurate but I've always been someone for whom an aproximate mileage is good enough. That said, if it is fixable I would prefer getting it fixed. Was your shop able to set it for your tires...

I ride by this fountain frequently and just the other day stopped to take a good look at it.

So glad you love your new bike @EmilyRides It's a sweet bike. I'm excited to have another dew-e fan around. I actually rode 36 miles today, way longer than I've ridden on a single day in several years!

A stop for Bocce Ball

Generic bike manual was provided but not much use. I found a manual for the Shimano Steps e6100 motor online. One thing to note is that Kona used Shimano's mountain bike motor display and controller on our bike. So you want to find a manual that has both displays. I think this one should...
