To directly answer the OP I would not buy a bike from Villages Bike Rental. The reason is service.

The weak link on ebikes is the electronics. Dealers will service the "bike" part of any ebike but not the electronics.

Villages bike rental uses 'The Bike Doctor' for all service. I have spoken to the owner, Mike, he has stories of waiting months for parts on the Villages bike Rental bikes.
