Huladog,
My uncle bought a ebike from the shop on campbell avenue a few months ago and he loves it (cost about $2,500). He bike commutes to work each day a few miles and even though it is only a few miles (fairly flat commute), he has no regrets changing to a ebike.
He loves his ebike so much that he has bought a kit to convert his regular bike to an ebike. Basically the kit consist of a motor that you mount in the bottom bracket. The kit cost around $1,000.
However for me, I get around on the weekends with my regular pedal bike. This provides me with some form of exercise, saves time (honolulu traffic can be terrible), and makes me feel I am doing something good for the environment. So I have no plans to buy an ebike but if I lived in the upper elevations (I live in Kaimuki), I would have to reconsider.
