4 years agoThere are a couple of small mistakes in this written review that I wanted to quickly point out.
Well, just wanted to point this out for you. It’s not a big deal and doesn’t detract from your excellent written review. Only wanted to help.

4 years agoExcellent eye for detail there, Tom! Thanks for taking the time to organize and share your thoughts. Yeah, I made a mistake with the warranty (the bike does indeed use a Shimano motor) and I updated the price difference and added a note about improved lights on the DL model. I’m still not sure about the seat post diameter mentions on their site vs. my demo model. I measured it twice with my digital caliper and I could also just perceive that it was smaller than 31.6mm so I tried to communicate this in a way that leaves some room for interpretation (maybe the large frames have wider seat posts, maybe as you propose it has to do with the DL vs. the standard?) Thanks again!

4 years agoNon-integrated batteries look like horrendous warts on most e-bikes, but here it blends well with the black paint, and the mixte frame shape somehow makes the lump less obvious. Nice job, Kona! It would be very hard to justify the price jump to the DL version for looks alone.
I think this just went to the top of the list of ebikes I’m looking at for my wife.

4 years agoNice, I agree that it’s a decent looking bike even with the external battery. Kona made something special here, and it performed well for me during the review rides :)

3 years agoGreetings, I recently purchased a pair of e-Cocos and my wife and I are very happy with the bikes. I have not yet bought a hitch rack because of the width of the twin standover bars. Can you recommend a model. Thank you.
Kind regards.

3 years agoHi Michael, I own a Küat Sherpa rack for my Prius (which requires 1-1/4″ vs. the larger 2″). It has an arm that presses down on the front tire and a ratchet strap that loops around the back wheel. It’s not the sturdiest rack around, designed more for lightweight bikes, but I love how light the rack itself is! I think it could handle two e-Coco ebikes if you removed their batteries. Or, you could try the larger Küat NV 2.0 rack, since it’s even sturdier. I used to own that one, and it could support up to four bikes if you add their two bike extender, but only if you have the lager 2″ hitch on your automobile. I has the same mounting mechanism and should work with wider frames like the e-Cocos have. Hope this helps you out :)

3 years agoTry taking a look at the Swagman chinook 1-1/4″ rack. I have one, and it’s pretty heavy duty. Amazon and Etrailer, have racks and parts. Also get an anti sway adapter for additional rigidity. YMMV
ReplyCourt
3 years agoHmm, great tips Richard! I’ve heard good things about the Swagman racks. Anti-sway adapters are new to me. I’ll check it out ;)
