That's a shame. I have a Steps 6100 on my Kona Dew-e and I frequently ride it in off mode with no problem.

I think the difficulty of enforcing complex regulations is the problem. Most trails are meant to get pedestrians and bicyclists out of traffic. Most of us don't want mopeds zooming down our trails - and I've seen it in my part of the country. At some point an electrified bicycle becomes a...

@indianajo thanks for the great suggestions. I'll add some of these exercises to my workout.

You are right DavidRvR a ramp would help but I'm not quite ready to replace my newish rack. Besides my doc is encouraging weight bearing exercise which bicycling is not. I'm thinking I'll be better able to motivate myself to lift weights if it will make getting the bike on the rack easier!

I chose a lighter than average bike partially because I want to be able to get it on my rack by myself. So far I'm able to get it off alone but still struggle to get it on. I've looked at Court's and another video for lifting technique but realize it would help to be a bit stronger. I do a...

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.
