There are several companies that do bike tours on island that would do a much better job than I.

This old house was built in 1926 by the Wailuku Sugar Company as a residence for the plantation manager. It's been in the family for decades. Wife and I moved in in 1997 and I completed a full restoration in 2015. Has a dimensional redwood frame, lapped, mitered cedar siding and Koa wood floors...

If a buyer paid top dollar for an R&M at a LBS, support should be no problem. I would take it to THEM and deal with the shop boss.

Was the LBS "New Wheel"? My experience with them is very positive in terms of staff knowledge and maintenance support. I am originally from the Bay Area and bought one of my first ebikes from New Wheel at a time when nobody sold them on the island of Maui. Shipping was a breeze.

This is a Riese & Muller, with a torque sensor; a high-quality bike and a good company to deal with when it comes to support, call them (or the bike shop you bought it from) for advice on a solution to adjust the motor programing and/or parts that are available to fit this bike. You should not...

Problem there is if buyer protection kicks in and you don't have funds to cover the ebay/paypal claw back it's considered a credit default they can legally collect on in court and report the default on your personal credit. I have been selling high value vintage guitars and amps on ebay since...

CL reaches a wide audience but there is no buyer protection where people feel comfy paying before receiving the item. So CL deals are pretty much only in-person buyers within seller's geographic area. Obvious advantage is CL takes no cut and won't control your dealings or have a way to claw back...

The Goplus folds, tilts, telescopes and locks to the hitch with a 3/4" thru-bolt in seconds...

Not really, most decent ebikes are designed to be ridden in the rain. Extreme heat can present issues with your battery/motor.

Nice rack for sure but why pay $999.00 for a bike rack? You can get a folding hitch mount Goplus bike rack on Amazon built for two ebikes with a max load rating of 132lb with free shipping for $135. https://www.amazon.com/

So can we assume you eventually got your refund from Dost? How long did it take altogether?

Do you mean enviolo CVT hub shifting with a belt? If so, you should have a 310% – 380% gear ratio range. Normally, a cadence sensor alone plus lack of sufficient gearing will have you beating eggs when you reach the 18-20 mph speeds; at that point your no longer able to use your pedaling power...

Dost is worth looking at if you like a bike designed in house (also in Canada, BC)

GREAT photo! Comfortable? More rider-forward or upright?

"But your honor, I told them I was sorry"...

I would holdout until it no longer serves its purpose because the battery and motor technology is evolving rapidly. The longer you can wait, the better the new bike you will be able to buy.

Will be a great tool for buying a new bike. This tech does well with filtering based on specific criteria. "Recommend ebikes that are 48v, 750 watt, with top components, upright stance, frame size X, white or red color, under $4000, etc..."

C watching it at home with a beer in hand. This brain-donor went from a ticket to a jail cell for evading. Rule number one with police contact is you can't make it better, but you can always make it worse.

Schwalbe Big Bens have not let me down ridding around Maui where mesquite (Keawe) thorns abound. Nice performance on wet paved surfaces as well as light trails. Came standard on the Stromer ST1's, a dedicated commuter bike.

I did notice that when Bianchi came out with their newer E-Omnia line in 2020-2021 the initial MSRP's were $6000-$6500, then they dropped to $4200-$4900. Also, some of the larger ebike retailers like Propel seem to have a lot of inventory on close-out. If there are a ton of unsold 2020-2021...
