Kona Dew-E Review - $3k

The Kona Dew-E Review is an extremely functional, lightweight, surprisingly comfortable electric bicycle that's based on a proven analog bicycle from Kona called the Dew. Popular with commuters, the frame has front and rear rack bosses, a bottle cage mount, and lots of room for a frame bag in the center. 160mm Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, 9-speed 11-34 tooth cassette, Shimano Alivio derailleur. Five sizes means you can find the perfect fit. Drive unit and battery are positioned low and center for improved balance and excellent handling. The PowerPack battery is extremely proven and compatible with 400 and 500 watt hour batteries which are easy to buy, borrow, or even rent (if you fly your bike somewhere). Uses my favorite ebike display, the Bosch Intuvia! It's large and easy to read, removable for safe storage, and has a Micro-USB port for charging a phone or other accessory. Great puncture-resistant tires with stylish tan sidewalls and reflective stripes. Great integrated lights with side-windows on the headlight... perfect high-up mounting position on the stem. Appears to be limited to one color per year. Despite the moderate price point, you get the lower capacity PowerPack 400 battery and slower Bosch Compact 2 amp charger vs. 4amp. Plastic fenders can rattle and the adjustable stays can be frustrating to manage. I wish they had chosen the Shimano Deore trigger shifters with a two-way high trigger so I could use my thumb to shift up and down.
