In reply to Gareth Slocombe. Yes, you can definitely rent an ebike for this and bring the spare battery. One set back is the spare battery takes one water bottle spot. Also, there are veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy few places to charge up. So the likely hood that you will have battery to last the whole time is unlikely and completely depends on many factors including weight, experience, battery saving/consuming so not using it the whole time. Lots to factor in ...but not many places to plug.

In reply to Frank OConnor. There is water at "Laulima Farm Fruit Stand", towards the end of the gravel section on the south side. They also sell fruits and coffee.

Are there any useful places to grab (emergency) drinking water on the most isolated stretch of the back side? I’m usually great about water budgeting, but it’s a bit of a mystery.

In reply to Josh. 25'S will work no problem. If you had 28's or 30's it will offer better traction and is nice. It is only 2 miles of dirt. Lots of people still do it on 25's.

What size/type tires are required for the backside of the volcano? I take it my Continental gatorskin 700/25 won’t cut it? 😂
