Himiway Cruiser - This Bike is FAST

[@jamarkelly9884]

I have this Himiway and I Love it. I am 6'1, about 330lbs and I get 33 mph EZ and quick, My Wife has the full size Rad Step thru and I often have to ride on level 3 when she is riding on level 5 to avoid pulling to far away from her when we are trying to ride top speed. we ride 15 to 20 miles almost everyday and the only issues I have had is my breaks wearing and my bell stop working for some reason. Fortunately I am upgrading my breaks to hydraulic disc thanks to Bolton e bikes. I will say when I ride at top seed it drains my battery faster, even still I can get 15 to 20 miles with 2 bars remaining before I feel I need to take it home to charge. I received my bike on the 30th of this past January. its holding strong and counting.

[@Altema22]

That's impressive, and glad you are enjoying the bike! You definitely need brake upgrades with that speed. How long does it take you to get from zero to 20 mph using throttle only?

[@jamarkelly9884]

@@Altema22 unfortunately I have never timed myself, but if I had to guess I would say around 10 seconds. The bike takes of very fast with a kick. also I know my weight is truly testing the breaks, they still work well, no problems stopping when I need to stop, I just find my self needing to readjust them every couple rides to remove the squeaking and looseness. I have already order my new breaks hoping they arrive in the next few days.

How does it do on hills?

[@jamarkelly9884]

@@dannyowens7452Hills on paved street I have not had any problems the bike moves fine using paddle assist, I have only tried a off road steep hill once and it did fine with paddle assist. I have never tried a hill without paddle assist. knowing I'm a big guy I don't want to overwork the motor unnecessarily, I need this thing to stand the test of time. Also keep in mind I never sift gears, I put my bike in 7 gear and I have never switch it since. My plane is to work on getting better with changing gears but currently I have just been enjoying the rides trying to establish a basic repour with the bike by adding upgrades and tweaking the little things as needed to make the ride more comfortable for me. I guess the time for changing gears is coming.

Purchased mine back in October and have 800 miles on it with no problems. Tightened everything up after first ride and adjusted the brakes at 500 miles - 3 clicks on front 2 on rear. I'm having a great time on this thing, 25 miles before I lose my first battery bar, with moderate pedaling. My best speed is about 28 MPH, but hey, I'm almost 80 years old.

Yeah but telling the truth leads to fewer clicks. He'll never do it.

[@alpadrino3405]

The radrover's top speed unlocked is 25 to 26 mph; the himiways' top speed unlocked is 26 to 27 mph. This is on flats. Downhill max speeds are not dependent on motor power, past a certain gradient.

Just ordered a Himi Cruiser and I’m excited. I’m getting older and my back won’t let me ride my motorcycle much so this will be my bike. I’m going to use it to ride to work and back. After riding a souped up HD I think I can probably handle the power but I’ll ease into it. Glad to know it has some power.

[@masendog1]

I purchased a step thru for my wife changed to 1-7 power selections and then dialed back the power percentages on settings 1 thru 4 to remove the lurching power you are noticing , also allowed the bike to go right at 5 mph on setting 1 when she wanted to go slowly I think setting one stock was around 10 mph or there about really tamed the bike down for her , She is only 5-2 and we wound up buying her a rad mini step thru and its a much better fit for her as the himiway way step thru is not really made for a person her size , its a huge bike , I am 6.2 and sometimes have a hard time getting my big foot thru the small stethru area i kept the himiway and love it , over 500 miles now and still going strong the way they come programmed stock is a bit scary especially for a first time rider though so I would defiantly recommend changing the percentages to power in those first lower settings , great reviews BTW

[@CitizenCycle925]

yes, i always dial back the power in pedal assist 1 also, it is always set crazy high when you get it. this bike is a lot to handle for a shorter person or for someone new to ebiking. the Rad mini is such a smooth ride :)

[@guyko4731]

I received my himiway step thru 3 days ago. I ordered it back in January based on several of your reviews and I can’t stay off the thing. I agree it can be dangerous until you fully understand how to control it, especially at intersections and around a lot of traffic. I haven’t changed any factory settings yet but it’s coming. 30mph, I can’t wait.

[@mikel95]

Thank you for the great review. Based on everything I have seen I decided to purchase the Himiway. Looking forward to receiving it.

[@guyko4731]

You won’t be disappointed, we’re over a hundred miles on it in less than a week. We haven’t changed any factory settings yet and I would warn anyone to just get acquainted with your bike before going there. I would also suggest looking for mirrors with arms a little longer than the himiway mirrors.

I just got my Himiway Cruiser on Saturday. I love it so far. It's a lot of fun. I had to change pedal assist 1 down to 20 instead of 36.

[@BillTheHawk]

I finally have my Himiway up and running! When it came it had oil all over and I found the fork was broken. Himiway finally sent me another fork and I installed it. Now I have changed out the throttle to a thumb throttle and it works great. It is fast and smooth. I made a discovery the last time I had it out, the bike is much better off-road than on asphalt! as crazy as that sounds it's a fact, the huge 4" tires grip more off-road!

I've got 160 miles on mine. First the PAS went out(not a hard repair once you find the problem, but I hd to buy a crank puller. After that I took it uphill for 1 1/2 miles where it overheated and now it's dead in the water again( I think it's Hall sensors) . I didn't think I wanted to take the chance of it going down again and missing part of the part of the Summer. So I , bought a kit from Area 13 - Boulton Bikes(I felt like I needed someone to have selected the parts for me that might be more knowledgable about their dependability) to retro my old K2 mountain bike which I've just finished. The 1st ride was fine. We'll see how it goes. As a side note, I don't ride these bikes hard stopping often to walk in the woods. Will try to post again after the new bike passes 160 miles and again aftern I repair the Himiway which is probably going involve another puller that I don't have and definitely don't have the time now that Summer is here.

[@lonelyp1]

I haven't ridden a bike for 40 years and want to pick it up again for exercise and fun. I love the look of the Himiway, black cruiser. Maybe I'm just old fashion, but I like it. A lot of the E-bikes look too modernized, not a performance problem, simply astatic, and in the eye of the beholder. I only wish the cruiser was half the price. Still if I like the cheaper one I bought yesterday, then maybe next time.

I just ordered the Biktrix Duo hub drive. They make a ton of mid drives as well. Frame made in Taiwan, not China (yeah, that matters to me). Dual battery options. Better components; from suspension forks to hydraulic brakes. Suspension seat post options. Tire size options. Know what the motor brand is (Bafang). Torque sensor (none of that ‘kick’ described in video). Lifetime warranty on frame. Great customer service (it exists for a start). Yeah, it’s a bit more expensive but as with everything you get what you pay for. Edit: forgot to mention size; the Biktrix is available in a 17 inch frame for a 28Inch step over night. I’m 6 ft, and I found the Himingway to be stupidly BIG. It has a 31 inch step over height.

(The one thing I hate about Himiway is you pay and then have to wait months for your order to ship!). Anyway, in terms of the power...I've gotten in situations while trail riding and have taken some wipeouts/lessons learned. Gotta respect the power and you gotta change the peddler assist to 7 or even 9 for some so it doesn't take off so abruptly (I like it at 5 though). Love the power and torque!!! With that being said, I can only get my Himiway up to a max 0f 33 going down hill. You should use your iPhone as well to ensure your speed is accurate. Thank god I didn't go RR!

[@garangeradventures6255]

Question about the HImiway Cruiser Throttle. My wife and I both have these and really enjoy them, however, there is a difference in the throttle function. On my bike, the throttle functions when the power setting is on '0'. On my wife's cruiser, the throttle will not function when the power setting is on zero. Is there a work around to activate the throttle when the setting is set to zero? HImiway says no. Ideas? Thoughts for a solution? Thank you. Wally

[@chriscampbell894]

I'm curious about the gearing of the new 2021 model vs your step-through. I agree the power is great, but on my Himiway the 7th gear tops out too easily. My legs are pumping too quickly, and I'm sure the bike would go faster if the ratio was improved. I've read that getting a larger front chainring can help, but I'm not sure which one to purchase.

[@jskyg68]

go up 4 teeth that should do it. I'm not sure if they use standard chain rings but they shouldn't be very expensive, either way 4 teeth will make a noticeable difference and shouldn't hurt your low end gearing much.

Change the Freewheel first, it's cheaper and easier, then go from there.

Just purchased the bike. I think the price increase is across the board because of COVID-19 backlash. So, still think the bike is worth the price.

[@jaythepanther1028]

I've heard that the customer support are not good at all is that true you Himiway owners ? I'm thinking about getting the bike but I'm worried about lousy customer support

[@SouthernSierra56]

Absolutely true. Hope you didn't have to find out the hard way.

[@frodar48]

I heard you had to pay exchange rates from your bank to purchase this bike. Did you have that issue when you purchased yours?

[@ghilhilario1578]

use Paypal, or check with your Bank and ask if they charge if you buy from International

Mr. Citizen here's to your hobby and our entertainment. The Magic M word is on the horizon. Wondering if you made or could make 6 figs. only doing this...............will leave that open ended and keep your options private. Excellent review! Hydros from Bolton and done for now. I am saddened by Volt Bikes out of Canada. After OCD on steroids, I made our choice for 2 Yukon 750's. Forget about all the delays and deceit in shipping. A bike named 750 should be a 750W. Last year their website said nominal now it reads Peak. I found this out on an owners group FB page. I have to laugh at all the crap, I gave to RR. The Volt motor states 750W but it turns out to be a Bafang 500W. That nebulous game got me. You and Bolton's RR videos exposing this, was the reason I went Canadian/Chinese. The Hydros was a plus, until I stumble on the owners group and find there was a brake pad recall. Nothing official from the company. WTF, this is brakes!!!! There was a horrible, cooking, boiling, demonic sound when brakes applied. Sent an e-mail got 2 sets for 2 Yukon "500's" went to a local bike shop for install and got jacked 200 bux anyway that's another story. I went into settings using the code in the owners manual to bump up amps and unlimit the limiter. Code 1919 they provide in the owners manual. The bike tech gets on users page after all my bitching and claims I voided my warranty. Point being is no matter how hard I pedal in 7th gear on pedal assist 9 and/or throttle. I would go 19.9 mph, after the de-limit 23 throttle only and 25.5 mph. This is with all I got and for short bursts. and "pedaled out" I was always suspect of this 500 W betrayal, your reviews were showing bikes out of the box with TRUE 750's going way faster. I will be selling my Yukon 500 falsely claiming to be a 750 W. I will tell the buyer, it is a 500 W nominal and 750 Peak...................The nebulous cloud is a dirty game. I will purchase the Himi, do you have a "code" for a discount or at he very least tell 'em Citizen Cycle sent me? Ride ON!

@seriouskite sorry that the yukons didn't work out for you I've never seen one of those. There are lots of choices in the e-bike market right now just make sure you do some research and make sure you get the right one for you. I'm certainly no expert so I wouldn't base any purchases off me 🙂 As far as KZbin income, I would be shocked if I'm even breaking even right now. The amount I spend on eBike stuff and the time and energy I put in filming and editing and answering questions seems to far outweigh the tiny bit I get off of ad revenue. So I'm sure six figures is many years down the road if I even make it that long. 😁

[@Altema22]

I like the Himiway, but if you were just trying to go fast on your Rover, it has the wrong mods. It's not your fault; you were just installing what they sent you. The controller is ok, but the discharge current of the battery is too low, wires feeding the controller are too thin, and the rating of that motor in back is 38.78 kV, which at 58.8 volts will run at 2,280 rpm. Your Rad Rover is going the correct speed for that specific motor, and if you want more speed, just get the power system issues corrected and install a faster motor. Not trying to be harsh, so sorry if it sounds that way! Appreciate the content and looking forward to the next video!

What a goofball. His display is set to Kilometers per hour, but he thinks it's MPH. He's actually riding at 20 mph, thinks it's 35 MPH.

[@juntv2555]

Nice bike sir

[@scottcooper7097]

I bought a Himi Cruiser for me and a Step-Thru for my girlfriend and can attest as to why everyone who has one of these calls it a beast! My girlfriend keeps hers speed limited to the factory set 22 mph, but I unlocked my Cruiser’s top speed and can easily get it up to 35 mph.

[@trueformoblivion8557]

How do you unlock your himiways max speed

[@goobfilmcast4239]

Himiway looks way more like a (stock) Rad Rover..... I have a Rover but I like the Himiway (non Step Thru).

[@mikepino6519]

Just ordered 2 for me and my wife

[@184876ela]

RECEIVED MY YESTERDAY RODE TODAY TOTAL KICKASS RIDE I'M 64 TORE UP THE CITY LIKE A HOOLIGAN 🤣🤣

[@scottygdaman]

Dang could they get anymore ugly exposed wires/cables at the head of the bars? Had a rad my friend wiped out with same set up besides ugly and unnecessary it is a pain to fix.thks for the review I'll skip on this one. Plus all these big heavy rims and way to fat tires weigh how much compared to something much better for street. Ever catch the side of a fat tire on the side of a damp curb? Fat tires perform badly on street even worse than badly.

[@JohnDoe-xm8jk]

The Himiway Electric Cruiser is nice. However, the Customer Service at Himiway is terrible. Can never get a straight and honest answer from Himiway. Shipping and Delivery is NEVER on time or accurate. Let the Buyer Beware.

[@sobebikes3225]

Customer service for this company is totally nonexistent... Order 2x couple months back still haven't received the keys for one bike.. they moderate your message on Facebook group so if you see anything bad they delete your message. LOL! So started my own uncensored group yesterday but I think I need to redo it make it public instead of private.. but this bike is nice though. I'm starting to enjoy it even more than my Rad Rover. The power on this thing is totally awesome compared to my Rad bikes ( 33 miles per hour)..... but like you say , wish customer service would just give honest answers and be straight up with their customers.. I hope they get better. Just sucks I had to be a guinea pig in the process. LOL!🙏💯

[@15205golfer]

From what I found out, this bike has a more powerful controller.

[@backyardr.c.channel4732]

The himiway cruiser no longer goes this quick they only go 25mph.

[@geraldorford8836]

Simon Cowell should be careful when riding one of these bikes.

[@tuxedogaming5289]

LOL
