2021 Aventon Aventure vs Himiway Cruiser

[@vincenttubing7037]

Thanks for the comparison video. Like you said. The Aventon Aventure was made more to look sleek and a true ebike. Nothing just slapped on. Different sizes and different color scheme makes a big difference for different size of riders. If money isn’t a problem then I think why not get the Aventure it just an overall better ebike.

[@Johnny_Bee]

I have never ridden the Himiway so I have no comparison, but I wouldn't trade my Aventure for any other, it's been great and I have zero issues, I absolutely love this ebike.

[@sekaf4125]

I bought 2 aventure bikes. LOVE THEM. Beautiful paint. Very powerful. LOVE LOVE LOVE them

[@SMG-lz1zq]

Nice review. Good comparisons to make an informed decision. I think the Aventure is easier to step thru so that would be an advantage if that's what you're looking for. The Himiway is a little better deal for the money. I love the red color on the Aventure and the sleek smooth frame. The Aventure has hydraulic brakes so that's an advantage there. All in all, a great choice. I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

Though not available to all, the Aventon bikes can be bought with 10% off if you are a Government employee, first responder, retired or active military. That brings the cost to within $110 of the Himiway. In my opinion, the salient features are worth the extra money.

The twist throttle is a game changer for me. I ride motorcycles, so twisting the throttle is just so instinctive. I really like the sleek look on the Aventon. I will have to compare the Aventon with the step thru Himiway Zebra; they both look really sleek. Thanks of the video.

Hands down the Aventon is a far superior bike. True the Himiway has a bigger battery, but during multiple tests, it isn't actually faster than the Aventure. All it will do is go longer. 27 miles on level 5 on the Aventon and 33 miles on the Himiway. Aventon has the hydraulic brakes, metal fenders, and the color display. You get what you pay for!

The Himiway E Bike does not have dealers but you can get mobile service through Velotooler. I will spend a couple hundred dollars more if need be to have piece of mind from a dealer I wish more reviewers would address this very important issue ! Keep up the good work ..much appreciated ...

The difference with the upgrades are less maintenance down the road…. Hydraulic versus mechanical brakes….Step up derailer and shifter system….When these bikes are brand new…everything works just fine…If you like adjusting the cable when the brakes wear down….adjusting the shifter cable when the gears doesn’t shift right…those people who are mechanically inclined will have no issues…but to the other folks…the price difference will be eaten up with your first visit to a bike repair shop…

[@sammasters8118]

I have the Himiway, but the other bike sure seems to offer a lot,,, however at a much higher price point.. I just got my Himiway and with a coupon available on the site to the door after tax it was $1350 ..and no tax was applied👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ceterisparibus51]

I turned my Rad twist throttle into a DIY thumb throttle simply by attaching an old, semi-flexible plastic snap-fit tire pump mount around it. Works fantastic, and was free! I have lots of spare bike parts like this laying around that would do the trick. But basically anything that can be securely clamped around your thumb-throttle and has a tab of some sort to push on will probably work. If you don't have any such parts, swing by the local bike shop -- they might give you a spare one for free.

[@CitizenCycle925]

Nice work! I think there's actually a company that sells an add-on thumb throttle product. can't remember the name of it though. Plus it was like $20 so I like your free solution better 🙂

Since I use my Himiway Cruiser for exercise, I wouldn't even consider the Aventon. I love the programmable pedal assist levels on the Himiway which allow me to get a good workout and still conquer hills. As an aside, recently I hit an electrical storm while riding. I put my bike in pedal assist 4 and top gear and FLEW home!

[@tdunnmd]

@@bernlitzner2739 I haven't ridden that bike and I'm not an expert on it. It's electronics seem to orient it toward more of a commuter mode, based on the YT review. I love my Himiway and can easily dial in any level of exertion I want, as opposed to an always on motor assist feature set, such as the Aventure. At any level of pedal assist with the Himiway, you can over pedal the motor assist so it's only there when you need it. If I'm wrong about that, accept my apologies.

[@bernlitzner2739]

@@tdunnmd Thanks for the feedback. I had a toss-up between the Himiway and the Aventure and finally went with the Avenure. The PA on it works as you described in that you can over pedal and it won't kick in til you slowed by quite a bit. A big factor for me was the three sizes of step overs. But from what I've read of the Himiway..it would have been a good choice as well. They certainly are fun to ride, and I live close to a bike trail.

I got my Himiway Cruiser last December for $1400 and haven’t regretted it one bit. It’s an awesome bike and so much fun to ride! Sure I could have paid $500 more for a different color, but why?

[@JDye-youtube]

Class II vs Class III. The Hemingway is a Class III bike. The Aventon ships as a Class II bike and can be changed to a Class III (up to 28 mph using peddle assist) via the app. The Class II designation is important as some states/areas do not consider a Class II bike to be a motorized vehicle, which can give you greater access to trails and other areas, especially hunting areas. That’s a big deal for people who are looking to primarily ride off-road. Hemingway is a Class III, which you can’t ride on many trails or other areas.

[@craighightman541]

Did you know that the small black L-bracket that you probably didn’t know what was for is actually for your headlight on the Himiway-to raise it up. It only took me 6 mos to see a video that said what it was for lol- but wow what a difference it made. If you don’t use it your light goes into your fender. That small rise allows it to go above the fender and put the light in front of you more. Wish they would have put that into the directions. As well as the guard over your gear in the rear. Figured that out but yeah took a minute lol

It's just to make sure the customer 'does' send the non-working part overall. With the explosion of the HImiway popularity, some parts are getting hard to find, thus customers have to wait for several of them now! Many folks have a few thousand miles on their Himiways, and are extremely happy with them as well.

[@ricknplano1401]

"Death Trap" is how I describe my experience on the Aventure. I received it, assembled it and went one block. As I tried to turn, my toes interfered with the front tire almost causing me to crash. The distance from the pedal to the tire (even without the fender installed) was about 1.5 inches. The tire and pedals are so close that my toes were hitting the tire when I tried to turn. Now, I agree that it is possible to ride the bike with your foot carefully placed so your toes do not extend beyond the front of the pedal. But with big feet, like mine, or wet pedals where your feet might slide forward, or the tiniest lack of concentration, your toes can interfere with the tire and possibly cause an accident. This is, in my opinion, an inherently dangerous design. I think the pedal to tire distance should be far enough that a rider is not likely to injure him or herself in normal riding.

[@robschorr6201]

Great assessment. I can see that the crank is positioned closer to the tire on the Aventon. I haven't heard anyone mention this problem with the himi step thru. thank you.

Do you charge the battery on the bike (s) ? Or are they removed and charged in the house?

[@tjmmcd1]

You mentioned that the Aventon battery is built into the frame, so that means you can't simply remove the battery and take it into your home to charge it. This is important to me, as I live in a condo and don't have a garage. One thing you didn't mention nor compare was the travel distance, but for traveling at a higher speed, the Himiway appears to hit 30+ mph on a flat street using throttle only, whereas it appears that the Aventon is regulated and will not travel faster than 20 mph in throttle only mode. When you consider that the Aventon: Cannot travel as far as a Himiway on a full charge; Has a top speed that is 33% slower than the Himiway, Does not come with a nice rear rack and costs $300 more than the Himiway....I've made my choice and am glad I ordered the Himiway, though the Aventon appears to be a very nice alternative. Thank you so much for providing the comparison, along with all of your other support videos.

[@CitizenCycle925]

Hi Tom the Aventon battery is removable to take in your house for charging. Good choice on the himiway it's a great bike. I guess the benefits of the Aventure bike are the low step thru, sleek frame design, full hydraulic brakes, faster acceleration, and dealer support.

The review/comparison I have been waiting for. Thank you for sharing and have a great day.

[@ghoul114]

I have the Aventure, the throttle and pedal assist delay are terrible on this bike, it needs to have a "throttle sensitivity adjustment" in the app, lectric has it on their display adjustments it needs to be added

[@Snotnarok]

Question about the Himiway, I can't seem to find any info on this is it okay to ride in the rain? I've been caught in rain storms before and I don't want to be suddenly riding a dead bike. I hear the Lectric XP 2 is pretty waterresistant but I can't find anything on the Himiway bikes.

[@CitizenCycle925]

I'm not sure of the Himiway's IP rating, but I wouldn't ride it in a downpour, You're probably fine in a late rain shower but I'm guessing you wouldn't want the bike getting absolutely soaked. I actually carry a rain poncho in my pack in case I need to throw it over the bike like a tent.

[@Snotnarok]

@@CitizenCycle925 Thanks for the info, that's not a bad idea either!

[@baronblak]

Great fair review. Thanks

[@DangerousDaveKincaid]

What about service, which bike has the better service/customer service? Great review. Haven't seen the Hemingway not seen the Aventon and test road the Rad 6. Thanks Dave

[@heroryan7859]

Magicycle or the Aventure?

[@joshr9703]

I wonder how you replace the battery in the Aventon.

[@leon650guinto3]

Hi CitizenCycle Do you have a problem with the Aventon Aventure power button? A lot of people complaining not very responsive? Any comments? I love your channel, very good education and information. More power to your channel. Thank you

[@WisconsinAdventures]

Are you talking about the power button on the battery or the one on the controller that turns on the display?

[@rogerf3622]

Good point Robbie. Some users forget to push the power button on the battery first and then the power button on the handlebars.

[@leon650guinto3]

Hello Everyone The power button that I am talking about is with the battery. The complaint was not consistently turning on. It take several attempts to turn it on. Sometimes you need to push the whole side of the battery panel to make it work. Thank you for the comments.

[@dexsj77]

Most people will try to push too hard and hold the button down. All it takes is a quick gentle push and it comes on.. you can damage it by pushing too hard.

[@whyme3286]

Aventon hands down!

[@tropezando]

Aventon's bikes are ✨clean✨ Even the Paces where the battery sticks out still look great. If you end up getting a Level, get a small frame so we can compare the frame sizes? & it would be neat to see your wife next to both frames. I'm debating between a Pace 500 and a Level, but this is a fantastic bike too. A little too thicc for my living space though.

[@garybradley3716]

Does the cruisers controller accept a 52 volt battery?

[@stllda909]

What do you do if you are 10 miles away from home and have a flat?

[@timdavis7567]

Thanks for the video. One you don't hear much about is the service. Himiway service can be trying at times. Support is from China by email. Video and pictures help. The warranty was honored, but you have to wait for parts. Adventon Support?

[@purplelioness5853]

I am a just under5'2" woman. Do you think I could fit on the himiway?

[@CitizenCycle925]

I'm guessing your feet would barely touch the ground. When sitting on the seat you would probably have to lean to one side and put just one foot down

[@donraines6742]

can the himiway be fitted with training wheels

[@nicholasbrassard3512]

You probly shouldnt put someone learning how to ride on a bike that can go over 30mph xD

[@mxr572]

in my opinion Ebikes should be tested/ridden before buying. buying on line blind is not a good idea. also a local will fix any problems a lot faster.
