E bikes are the current fad. Why would a bike shop in HI not follow along?

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

. . and the problem with this is?

Not seeing an issue here. A bike shop, even one that caters to the some marquee Triathlons, still has to find ways to make money and stay in business the rest of the year.

That's awesome. I was wondering where to get my hidden bike motor serviced this year!

i would guess that the post is somewhat tongue in cheek, and i don't know the dude at all.

We do E-bikes, along with a ton of aero road and TT bikes. In our experience E-bikes are getting people who often would not ride, or have health issues, out on bikes. More people on bikes is a positive, as it's less cars, and links more drivers directly to cyclists.

Wow thank you for your ground breaking journalistic skills and for informing the world...

E-bikes are great. I commuted entire winter with one (to long of a commute, too shitty weather, me being not hard enough), didnt ride normal bike much at all and didnt do any Zwifting or boring indoor riding. Just put some 2500 miles in on an e-bike in all kinds of weather. Never been so strong nor tested FTP so high as this year.

Oh, yeah, I'm also going to Kona, although in October.

Yes. God forbid Grant tries to keep up with the times and turn a profit in a difficult and restricted environment on the island. For the people who commute in and out of town maybe it alleviates some traffic and frees up space on the road. When you stop in to check out what they have, why don't you tell Grant or his employees that you were slamming them on an international forum. Better yet, why don't you make a left out of the airport and not bother coming into town.

I think it's great- not everyone is physically able to experience the joy of riding a bicycle around the island, and maybe this will cause there to be a few less rental cars driving around town!

I rented a bike from therm last time I was there. Great people and great service. When I saw the title of your post, I was afraid you were going to say they were closing. If e-bikes keep them profitable, that's great. If e-bikes get a few more people out on the road and appreciating cycling, that's even better.

Given how ridiculously expensive rental cars are there, an ebike might be a viable alternative.
