The Supercells have been great thus far. Easy to mount and very quiet.

RPB does ship to Hawaii but they only use UPS Air at a stinging rate of $400 for door-to-door service. Voltbike on the other hand only charges $169 (usual fee of $49 + $120 surcharge for HI) and they ship by ocean freight and then the Buyer picks it up from the freight terminal. I know of at least 2 other RadRover owners and 1 RadWagon owner on O'ahu. There are a couple of shops that sell ebikes, but you can't pick up anything new for less than $2400.

Moved back to the island of O'ahu in 2015 with my family after being gone for 30 years to help care for my aging father-in-law. I'm fortunate that my workplace is only 8 miles away, and between Honolulu's traffic gridlock and being a 1-car family I started commuting to work on a Trek FX 7.2 "fitness" bike. Did that for almost 3 years and decided I couldn't take another summer of pedaling in the heat and humidity without assistance. This body isn't getting younger either.

This past July, I decided to pull the trigger on a 2018 RadRover after having the opportunity to test ride one at RPB's Seattle store during a business trip. Changed out the stock Kendas for a pair of road friendly Origin8 Supercell tires and am loving the ride to and from work. There may be better choices for a daily commuter, but when you've got to ride on a seriously deteriorating infrastructure like Honolulu's you need a bike that can take what the crappy roads throw at it and the RadRover fits the bill.

Starting to see a few ebikes here and there during my commute, but I think there's less than a half-dozen Rad Owners here. Hopefully, I can meet them all through this new forum.
