Change the Speed Limit of Your Himiway eBike

Makes the maximum speed of your Himiway 30-31 MPH!

[@elishasrepairandmore3639]

Thanks for the videos, I really appreciate it, I own the Rad rover and Lectric xp and this would be a nice Christmas gift for myself lol.

[@dreamof3d]

Thank you, I will have my first test on my way to work tomorrow. Just because it will go 31 mph... I don't plan on abusing it. I've noticed if you are on the throttle going downhill, you can actually go faster releasing the throttle and pedaling, set at 22 mph, when on throttle... the motor actually acts like a brake. Thanks again :)

[@silbernersurfer8264]

Posibly the controller is limiting the speed. Maybe it is possible to program the controller. From the power I think it can go way faster than 30mph.

[@jamesfair9751]

That’s because it’s set to 22 mph so the motor is trying to throttle down the speed to 22 change it to the 90 and it won’t try to throttle back until you go over 90. I also agree if you can get into the controller program you can make these go way faster than 30

[@homemademusic7]

I have one on the way...and looks like it’s gonna be much cooler! Thanks my friend!

[@tomtardif4387]

They have changed it so you can only max out at 40 you can't put it up to 90 anymore. Mine was said it's 36 I put it up the 40 which is the max setting. I just got my bike today went for a little night ride around the neighborhood in boy don't this thing light up the stripes on the tires glow when the lights hit them

[@javierrios1879]

what is the max that you hit at 40?

[@Phantom_diamond]

It worked but mine wouldn’t go over 40

[@willbennett4544]

Works like a charm! Thanks!

Same here

[@aidenbloomquist3287]

​@@leojagawaga6481you need a new display and possibly a new controller for your ebike. After 2021 they limited the speed limit for all new models

Thank you ! 🙂

I was able to do this with my bike but I think they updated the software or something because it won't let me go past 45. They must have figured out people were doing this or something

[@badimpulses17]

I live in California and just got my Escape. I went to settings and max out the speed it only goes to 45 max instead of the 90. My max speed at full throttle is 25mph, tire pressure 25 psi. Maybe the bike ship to CA are more regulated.

[@ncaverync]

Manifest, Unfortunately, I think all the newer Himiways are being more strictly regulated. I’m hearing all the newer ones have the same limitations that you’re encountering. You’ll still love the bike!

[@JuNpwr]

They limited top speed on newer 2021 firmware from burning out hubs and controllers.

[@badimpulses17]

@@JuNpwrWhat about changing to a higher output controller? Will that make any difference?

[@JuNpwr]

@@badimpulses17 upgrading controller will give you more amp to go faster. You will need the compatible battery specs required to run whichever controller you get

lol I guess thats answers the problem I was having

[@GodofWarChuka]

Thanks for the video! Is this hard on the motor ? And does it use up the battery faster? I have a 2020 Himiway Cruiser. Thanks

[@ncaverync]

Hi! It will use the battery up faster, if you use the higher speeds constantly. But, I haven’t noticed it being any harder on the motor. I’ve had mine three years this month and it’s still going strong! Enjoy!

[@GodofWarChuka]

@@ncaverync Ok. I’ll try it today. I’m pushing 400 miles on mine. I average around 30 miles on a full charge, but I weigh 250, down from 315 last year. 👍

Good for you, man! Keep it up…that’s terrific progress! I have close to 3,000 miles on my Cruiser now. Still love it!

@@ncaverync Thanks! I will. That’s some decent mileage! Im hoping to hit 1000 miles by the end of summer / Fall here in Wisconsin. 👍

[@GodofWarChuka]

@@ncaverync Ok. I thought I had the older model. Mine wouldn’t go past 45. But I’m thrilled. It still worked! I took it for a run this morning. My top speed was 22. Now it’s 28, so I’m happy with gaining another 6 mph! Which is enough speed for me on an Ebike! 👍

Mine was the original 2020 Cruiser. They may have limited the newer models since then. 😢

Thank you, but mine, LS = 25, I can't put a value higher than 25.

Dear Dean, my cruiser setting LS doesn’t go past 40. Is there a way around that?

Does anyone know if this works for the UK bikes? These have 250W motors and are restricted to cut out pedal assist at 15.5 mph.

[@ncaverync]

I’m not sure Ben. I posted this video back when I first got my 2020 Cruiser model in the US. I don’t think it works on the newer US Cruiser models made since then.

What are those two switches you have just to the right of the buttons you were using in this video? Thanks.

That is the remote for my Lumos helmet to control my turn signals (on the helmet)

I didn’t change the password.

[@MattStryker]

Every other video I've seen stops at 40. Are they just simply not pressing the button any more than that because they don't want to get into trouble? I'm picking mine up in 2 weeks, so this will be one of the first things I do.

[@ncaverync]

I’m afraid they may have limited to newer models to only go up to the “40” setting. My Cruiser is the 2020 original model.

[@MattStryker]

@@ncaverync Well, crap. Okay, thanks though! I really do appreciate your video regardless.

[@ncaverync]

Thanks, Matt! You’ll love the eBike anyway! Enjoy!

[@jaredmillen9740]

Hey so I Just tried that exact process and it didn’t let me go past 40. You went all the way to 90 and it only let me go till 40, then when I locked in the setting it went to like 26, definitely faster then 22mph which was what I was maxing out on, but just was wondering does it go any faster then 26? Why did it not allow me to go to 90 like you. Thank you for everything

[@ncaverync]

Hey Jared, I got my bike in June 2020…I have heard that they’ve made some changes on the newest bikes, possibly limiting them to the “40” setting. You’ll still enjoy it going to 26 (and probably faster downhill). You’re going to love the bike. Still riding mine almost every day!

[@jaredmillen9740]

@@ncaverync same here, it definitely drains the battery much much faster, if I set it back to 22mph the battery will go back to lasting a long time?

[@ncaverync]

Jared, Probably….but it all depends on what pedal assist levels you use. The higher, the quicker the battery will discharge, of course.

[@fox9e]

i got mine yesterday, and I have the same problem, I think the company started limiting them at 40. I’d like to find an override to this limitation

[@laurabibby933]

Just got my bike the LS only goes up to 40 and will only go 28 mph max. I'm 115 pounds. So, any ideas

Laura, They may be placing limits on the newer bikes…I’m not sure. But that’s what I’m hearing from others. :(

lol I have 3340 miles on this bike and I’m just now finding out about this

[@ncaverync]

You’ll have 6,000 miles in no time now! Enjoy!

[@GLAMOUREBOY]

what will be the full range of batterty if you go full throttle of 31mph no pedaling on flat road?

[@ncaverync]

Too many variables to say. Depends on your weight, hills, etc. Full throttle at 100% would run the battery down pretty quickly though.

[@jamievlogger9687]

Will it drain your battery if you are going faster

[@ncaverync]

It may drain the battery faster if you’re going at top notch speeds. I rarely go at maximum speed on mine.

[@rc31003]

Thank you but my son messed something up could you give me the factory specks

[@ncaverync]

You can recover the factory default settings by pressing and holding the “-” (“minus”) and “i” buttons for 2 seconds. This will show the “dEF-n” screen (“default-no”). Press the “+” button to change it to “dEF-y”, then press the “i” button to make the change. You can then press your power button to shut the controller off. You should be back at the factory defaults when you power back up!

[@eddiebernardi6791]

Can you reset the miles on e-bikes?

[@ncaverync]

You can reset the Tripometer back to zero, but not the total miles ridden

Hi - I have a new bike, just got it, the 2021 version. The "LS" only goes up to 45, not 90 like the old model, does this mean it wont go as fast as the older model? Can only get it to go up to 21mph, where people with the older model say it can go up to 31mph.

[@joseph80ish]

Do you know of a way around the 45 limit, to make it go faster like the last version?

Hey Joe, I’m really not sure. Others are reporting the new bikes top out at “45” also. I don’t know how this affects the top speed limit now. Mine is still going strong at over 2200 miles!

You may get close to that on the highest pedal assist level, but you won’t be able to pedal that fast! So, you might as well just use the throttle!
