My experience is limited but since you live in Vancouver, you might look into a Kona Dew-e. I have the dl model which is as expensive as the Gazelle Medeo you are looking at. But the non-dl model is quite a bit cheaper. Kona's can take awhile to get your hands on but since they started in...

Nope, not a fad. I'm not usually a person to predict the future but ebikes are everywhere in my Midwestern city. My social group of people in their 60's and 70's, many of whom rode bikes for years are about 50% on ebikes. They keep us riding. I see food delivery guys on ebikes, parents with...

I've snuck a few rides in during the warm days in our snow melt cycles this month. Not a lot to add except you guys are right. E bikes are a lot of fun. And my Kona is pretty much what I was looking for - a fun bicycle that can help me out when things get tough but that I also enjoy riding...

I understand. Didn't mean to say otherwise.

Two issues here. First, you can't generalize. There are some advantages to scale. A bigger store with a national network is often going to be able to have more selection or get you product sooner. Individual stores are going to be "individual". Some will have an attitude. There's a small...

Even your rainy days are gorgeous.

Not as gorgeous as Alberta or Australia but it was fun to ride along the Missouri River yesterday. And watch the begining of a new bridge.

My Kona Dew-e DL arrived a few weeks ago and we have had a couple of substantial snowfalls since. So I've only been out a few days. I've been a moderate bicycle rider since my late teens and at 68 find I can use a little help. I live in the middle of the U.S. which most people picture as...

Kona has a couple of ebikes for mountain biking, the Remote and el Kahuna bikes. You might check those out.

I really like those lights from Menards. What is the brand?

Two rides. Yesterday and today are decent weather. So I got a couple of rides in. Fourteen miles yesterday and 20 miles today. Below are a few thoughts. 1. Ride. I love riding this bicycle, with or without assist. The gearing is such that I can ride up modest hills as easily as on my...

Finally my Kona Dew-e DL is here. I just rode it home from my bike shop. A short ride but it is 28°F here so a bit nippy for me. My intention is to report my experiences with this bike over the next few months. Essentially the kind of information that I would have liked to have found when I...

Glad to hear that you are happy with this bike. I'm lucky that a bike shop just 1.5 miles/ 2.5 km from my home will sell me the bike so I can go to them if I have problems with the motor. I picked it partially because of the lighter weight, it should be able to handle my hilly city, and in my...

My bike shop has arranged to get me a Kona Dew-e dl in my size. Finally, looks like I'll have my bike in a week or two. It still checks off all the items on my "what I want" list and I went for a test ride on one that was too small for me but still a lot of fun to ride.

Hey Anton. Are you still enjoying your Dew-e DL? Mine is going to arrive in about a week. My bike shop traded to get me the right size in a 2021 model. The 2022s seem to be unavailable til spring.

I believe that Küat has a rack or 2 with ramps.

Thanks. I'm thinking I can add a rack and change the seat (something I've done in the past with analog bikes) and will need to really check out fit and what I think of the fenders on a test drive - when they show up in shops again. I'm very picky about bike seats and usually replace the ones...

@rcode3 Can you tell us a little more about your experience with the Dew-e ? This is the bike I'm leaning toward but none to try now. What else besides the forward position did you not like? What are the pros and cons? What model year bike do you have?

Sorry for the long list @PedalUma I'm a retired librarian and was probably building an index! I need a multipurpose bike as I don't have the space for bikes for different purposes. My city is hilly so I need a bike that can handle hills for both errands and rides with friends. I also like to...

Some guides I'd like to see: a guide to motors (placement, brands, noise, power, things to consider... ); a guide to batteries (types, longevity, charging, ...); how to pick a bike for: hilly terrain, for commuting, for long rides, to compensate for a handicap or aging body or very short or tall...
