For This Bike
Feb 2019
“Looking to ditch the car?” asks Kona? “The Electric Ute is your answer.” It’s certainly 'an' answer, and if you’re looking to carry a lot more than your sandwiches then it has plenty to recommend, and it could genuinely replace a car for many people. It has some issues, however, and as a result it’s not the best longtail out there right now. Kona has form here. Look - we tested a previous incarnation way back in 2010. Although frame design and the assistance system have both come on a long way since then, you can see some common DNA.
