I had to wait several months for my Dew-e but I'm glad I did. My local shop in Kansas City had a small Dew-e last time I was in there. Maybe your shop can make a trade with another shop. Not sure why Kona is still struggling with supply issues. I love their bikes.

Many ebikes, including the dew-e have a walk mode which should help you walking the bike. That said, I love that my ebike is lighter than most. I can get it off the rack by myself and suspect I could get it on by myself if I had to. It just feels more bicycle-like than some other, heavier bikes.

Great to meet you Emily. I went back and forth between the regular Dew-e and the DL. In the end I chose the DL but suspect I would have been fine with the other model. As an experienced cyclist I suspect you'll do fine with the gear range on either. This bike is considered a gravel/city bike...

I don't ride in a lot of mud, at least not since that time my husband convinced me it would be okay and I ended up digging clayey mud out of my fenders! But my city rides with friends have lots of surprises including an occasional muddy patch. My goals are to stay upright, have as few flats...

Love the back and forth. At least I'm getting a feel for the issues. 😁

After getting a lot of advise on tires I had decided on the Specialized Sawtooth that Anton uses on his Dew-e to commute. The tires I have are too slick. BUT I can't find these available as 650b any longer. So I'm thinking of the Pathfinder which I can find. Do you use this tire Stefan? How...

Thanks. Though I have Maxxis Re-Fuse they have the same issues for my city riding and I'm looking for something else that is safer in a little mud or slightly wet conditions. I'm not sure I am ready to try tubeless but definitely need something else. Thanks for your response.

Anton,. What tires came on your Dew-E? Do you like them for your commute? Have they had any flats? Do you ever ride on slick spots like a little mud on the road? How did they do?

Thanks Alaskan. Did you try these tires with tubes before going tubeless? If so, how did they do on punctures with tubes?

Another issue with my Maxxis tires is that they don't do well in mud. I rode through a muddy spot the other day and slid into a wall. No harm to me or the bike but probably not something that would happen on my other bike with better tread. Reading reviews, these tires are rated down for...

Thanks Stefan. Yes, I believe these are tires designed for gravel. And, yes the rims are tubeless ready. I've been reading about tubeless tires but don't think I'm ready to convert. It sounds messy and fiddly to get set up and my thumbs are a bit arthritic. The people I ride with don't use...

I've only ridden about 550 miles on my Kona Dew-E DL bike. It has Maxxis Re-fuse tires. I already got a flat - of course on the back tire. There was a glass sliver in it. I do a lot of city riding and glass etc. is not always avoidable. I probably only got flats every few years on my Surley...

I love my bike but just got my first flat at a little over 500 miles on these tires. The rear tire, of course. My husband picked me up as we wanted to have our first experience changing the tire in the garage in case we had problems. Everything went fine til We went to put the tire back on...

Perfect weather for a ride today. 70's and no humidity. Really nice ride. I like these city views from green spaces.

Or your share of the car in the divorce.

Actually WW I Memorial. Should have stopped in to say hi as I don't live far from here. I used their parking lot as a flat easy bike loop when I was rehabbing my knees after replacements. On weekdays during covid, not many cars thrn.

Another option is to look for a quality slightly used bike. It will take more research and effort but you might get lucky. Leave a little in your budget to get a tuneup once you get it. I'm not sure how likely you are to find something in Finland but worth a try.

My untechnical understanding is that a motor on a rear hub is more likely to overheat or just not have the same range as a similarly sized motor on a mid drive on hills because it is pushing the bike uphill rather than using the bike's drivetrain. That said, depending on what kinds of hills...

😂

They have to compete with delivery people on ebikes so probably not.
