The island's biggest problem, horses.

Horses are one of Rapa Nui's oddities. Up to recently they were the primary form of transport but now the internal combustion engine has superceded them, so they have mostly been left to wander and graze at random, going wild in the process and creating the island's biggest traffic hazard and cause of many accidents.
However, the upside is, if you are a horsey person you won't have any trouble finding four hooves to take you around the island in traditional style.
