Himiway Tips & Tricks

[@drakelecouteur7846]

That intro made me howl, literally had them sitting on the counter top just like that wondering what the heck they could be for 20 minutes, great video

[@Bustadhed]

Another helpful thing to do is to take the cover off your controller and seal around it with some silicone because if the inside gets wet it can mess everything up and it's located where lots of water will hit it if you ride through water or in the rain .

[@kevinmchale5660]

Good tip. I am gonna put a guard over it as well to deflect water and protect the cables under the frame. The factory 1 looks flimsy so I may make my own.

[@danielwithlions1025]

I got my Himiway like a week and a half ago and I saw those two brackets that you showed with my stuff and I had no clue what they were for now I do thank you I thought the one large bracket was somehow a water bottle holder that you attached to the front of the bike but now I know better thank you

[@craighightman541]

Great video - I laughed at first because you showed the l bracket and the guard. Which me and my husband said the exact thing you did 🤣. What the heck is this for. Yes we did eventually figure it out but we did not figure it out for the light L-bracket and I have no idea here it is. 🤦🏻‍♀️. Tu it’s easy enough to get an l bracket now that I know what it is for- and yes it will help the light being able to raise it up so it won’t hit the fender. Thank you

[@kevinmchale5660]

The fork adjustments are Left side - stiffens the spring. A heavier person needs a stiffer spring so the fork doesn't bottom out. Where as that setting would be stiff and harsh for a light person. Right side - dampening adjustment. It controls how easy it is for the fork to go up and down. If you turn it all the way it stiffens it to the point of being solid. Which would be good if you only use it on smooth pavement for more control.

[@raymondbrown4899]

This is correct. also that little L bracket is not meant for the headlight. it’s just a spare front fender strut mount bracket. it says so in the himiway assembly video.

[@S4H47]

Hi do you know what the + button on the right side of the bicycle handlebar does ?

[@ggarcia1964]

Hay man how are you im so excited to have you as my go to guide person thank you so much for the tips I just got my ebike today from FedEx santa 🎅 lol 😆 I will keep you for my go to guide your the man

[@ozzie444]

Yes the electrical cable connectors are very, very tight. You absolutely DO NOT NEED TO USE PLIERS OR VISE GRIPS ON THEM. All you need to do to get the electrical cable connections apart is to use a heat gun, or even a hair dryer and heat up the connection a bit to soften the rubber a little and they come right apart easily. If you use a real heat gun just heat up the connections for a few seconds so no marks from pliers.....

[@SouthernSierra56]

Thanks. They are a b---ch. I bent pins and broke connectors the 1st time.

[@FarmallFanatic]

Thank you

[@twylitegotbannedtwice3411]

Thank you. Not even the bike shop knew what those were. I took that front fender off. Do you have Ped assist for stairs and hills video?

[@lbillie3103]

I just pre ordered, purchased a new Zebra, 2022 Himiway Ebike. In my instruction manual it says I should charge every time after use of my bike, no matter how less power I used. So now I'm wondering what to do. Shall I trust the owner's manual for Himiway Zebra 2022, or what do I do? The reasons given were to extend battery life. Sir I trust you or may be battery instructions have change and updated recently. At this point I will be calling Himiway to see what I should do. Sir I appreciate what YOU DO TO HELP GUYS LIKE ME. Thank You...

[@E-Ryders]

I'm pretty sure they are just "suggesting" that so you always have enough juice to ride and get back home so you don't get stranded. My suggestion is just a tip to increase the battery life.

[@lbillie3103]

@@E-Ryders Thank you E-Ryder.....LBillie, see ya on the highways and byways

[@edallred53]

Great video. .I'm glad to know what those weird brackets are.

[@caseyjonessnr1200]

Great video. Some very interesting tips that are useful for many Himiway e-bikes. I have the Big Dog. Thanks 19:29

[@BobBlanchard51]

I liked the tips on your video. One thing, it's not a "hemi"- way . . . It's "him"-I-way. Lol

[@E-Ryders]

Lol

[@carattop]

The make a pun on Earnest Hemmingway's name in their advertising, so one might assume it's pronounced similarly.

[@lenz138]

Hey, great video. I’ve got a hemiway cruiser on its way right now and while watching yiour video, I noticed that you have a controller guard on your bike and I was wondering where you got it cuz I’d like to get one for mine as well. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

[@lurantis8381]

Hey man, I got curious too and I couldn't find anything on this video. However, this account does have a video covering the accessories he recommends and uses personally. here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2K0d2eEpJ1_obs

[@lurantis8381]

Around 2 minutes is when he covers the guard for the controller. You can find it in the description

[@barrym4430]

Good video thanks

[@IRail-u7n]

Great video!

[@devy_animations]

Seems like I only got one long screw for the headlight. Did yours come with two? Can't find a way to use the bracket.

[@maiso48]

Can you peel off the letters on the frame like you did with the battery?

[@E-Ryders]

It doesn't seem so....

[@eric_in_florida]

Great tips. On my Escape I had to cover the dumb website graphics with black tape, they're painted on.

[@2KHunter]

Hello, my name is Noah and I just wanted to spread the word to you by saying Jesus and God love you very much it says in Revelation 21:3 “Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them.” God is there for you and he sent his one and only son to die on the cross for everyone. If you choose not to believe thats on you. I hope you soak this in. God bless.

[@IRail-u7n]

There is a fly on his seat

[@ralva2779]

Thank you for the tips. Do you find the cloud9 seat less stressful than the stock seat?

[@E-Ryders]

It's more of a personal preference cause I'm a bigger guy and the Cloud9 seat is wider, not to mention the seat comes with suspension springs. The stock seat is ideal for average sized folks who's butts are used to riding a bike.....lol.

[@ralva2779]

@@E-Ryders Thanks. The seat is big and comfortable but after some time it just feels like there is to much padding up the middle. (Ouch). :)

[@E-Ryders]

@@ralva2779 Depends on the model cloud 9 seat you get too. The middle is cut outta mine to relieve pressure and provide ventilation. www.amazon.com/Cloud-9-Cruiser-Select-Saddle-10-75/dp/B002MKFRQI?pd_rd_w=wPnGC&pf_rd_p=ba22ea03-d3c1-4ebb-8d3e-472aa0cf3b30&pf_rd_r=QCXK3ZR1ZDMGPAKA6244&pd_rd_r=3b34ab0d-0e5b-4a88-b3a7-3c99150b9d5b&pd_rd_wg=RNDFe&pd_rd_i=B002MKFRQI&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_d_rp_29_i

[@milan99224201]

How did you mount the camera on the back?

[@E-Ryders]

Stay tuned for an Ultimate accesories video that will shed some light on that.

[@littlethislittlethat456]

Just got the Himiway zebra and the manual says to fully charge it after each use and that it has no effect on battery life.

[@E-Ryders]

Because that's the normal thing to do. I'm giving you a "Tip" to make the battery last longer.

[@eric_in_florida]

I saw this too and it didn't sound right, compared to all other batteries. Like you probably wouldn't charge your phone if it was 90%. I go for short rides so I'm going to let mine drain down before I charge.

[@shofmann-scheele-lubarski3495]

Just got my cruiser step through.. seem to have a scraping sound coming fron the front tire. Adjusted brake pads, but still there. Thoughts?

[@E-Ryders]

Try adjusting caliper too.

[@ucci05]

It's not a true warranty. They mail parts. Sometimes impossible for a person to install.

[@Tom-jd1rm]

Good 💡

[@louisandemilylafache9415]

The L bracket is not meant for the headlight.

[@E-Ryders]

Lol, Yes, it's an "extra" piece for the fender that no one really uses and most throw away, but this is not an "INSTALL" video, this is a "Tips & Tricks" video where I say keep it and use it as a Tip to raise the height of the headlamp.

[@mjsmjs7905]

Someone the other day told me these things can't handle single track mountain bike trails with steep incline's, I found that very surprising because my fat tire ebike destroys steep inclines on a mountain bike trail and it has considerably less power.

[@E-Ryders]

Well I had it out on some single mountain bike trails, but I wanna say the inclines were more medium and it did just fine, but that's on peddle assist, not throttle.

[@robertmcgee7083]

I never shift my bike out of 7th gear, over 15 mpg even 7th isn’t very useful.

[@frankvehafric5062]

Nice tip on separating the connectors. It's one of those things that no one bothers to tell you.

[@Dultron_the_Destroyer]

"No one bothers to tell you about," because it's bad advice. This is not good for the cable's longevity.

[@putitondummie]

I know

[@Ares0025]

after one year with the cruiser and tons of problems i have another great tip for you dont buy this thing 😅

[@user-vc9qz5cu1f]

Had so much trouble with Himiway. They tried to replace my faulty motor 3 times instead of letting me ship the bike back for a replacement. Took 6 months and I had to take it to a mechanic to replace. Then, still didn’t work and they wanted me to buy another one and return the old one before they would send me a new one. I think they’re customer service is in China? Just get something local because Himiway doesn’t know how to fix their problems.

[@BC4150]

Yes i am noticing lots of negative feedback as well as hearing about shady business practices and a souring amount of complaints to the BBB. It seems a hit or a miss, if you receive a faulty product you're out of luck

[@gregcalvert8696]

I am bummed out that my Hemiway Cruiser died with a hundred easy miles on it. Luckily I bought from a brick and morter company here in the states. Both the control module and motor where bad. Traded it in on another brand and have had zero problems. Hemiway really seem to be hit and miss on their bikes. It was awesome while it was running
