Kona Dew

- I love the look of the Kona Dew Deluxe, but it isn’t electric. - My budget is about $2,000 for this experiment. - I am considering picking up a Dew or Rove and converting.

Probably what you're looking for is a road-oriented hybrid like a Specialized Sirrus, Kona Dew, trek fx 3, Giant Escape, or something equivalent. Your local shop will deal in a few different brands and may have used stock from many other brands. Take your time and listen to the people in the shop is my best advice. they're very trustworthy in my experience.

I rode my partner's base model Kona Dew and found that to be a much more enjoyable ride for me. Looking at getting a Rove AL just cause I live near Kona's shop and can test out their bikes. Other bike brands are fine, however as Kona shop is pretty close as in within 40 mins, that and the staff there are really nice I would prefer to support them.

I was in the same situation in 2020 and after quite a bit of research, i narrowed down the selection to Kona Dew or Specialized Sirrus X (these come in differently priced models which you can tell by the number. I ultimately got the dew because of aesthetics and availability in the end but would have been happy with either.

I had some time this morning so I went to a local coop to see if they had any cheap commuting bikes. Behind some 4310 steel MTB ready to be sold, I stumbled upon a bike still to be revised : a Kona Dew. Its year is unknowkn, its aluminum frame is used but has no dents. It's supposed to be sold at CHF520.-, which is roughly 500$.

Kona Dew - this is my favorite budget city bike. If you can get the Dr. Dew it's even better. I think this bike is fantastic for pavement riding.

I think Kona Dew range is the best combo of quality and value for money for 650b commuter bike. Would definitely recommend.
