No Gas No Problem! Himiway ESCAPE Ebike Moped Review.

[@livingitup9647]

Excellent review! I've not seen a bike review with such detailed, thorough examination. Helps me with understanding all I should be looking at before selecting an e-bike. Thanks for all the great info!

[@GenesTherapy]

Thank you too! I'm glad it helps!

[@juliusgregorio4111]

Great review, I have been looking at moped style e-bikes and your review has been a tremendous help. Definitely leaning towards the Escape, looks like a great value. Thank you Gene, keep up the great work!

[@GenesTherapy]

Thank you! Stay tuned I've got a few others coming in that I'll be testing, looks promising, and cheaper

[@larryruark9962]

Great review! I was thinking about getting the Hemiway Zebra but after seeing this may change my mind! This is a great looking mo-ped style bike!

[@Teresa-K]

Hi Bobby Gene, Nice Ride! Great Price! The acceleration is fast and has superior hydraulic brakes. Thanks for the review! Looks like a fun time!

[@GenesTherapy]

Hiya Teresa, thank you!

[@greaser5028]

Thank you for the video, good information, hopefully getting my Escape in the next month.

[@GenesTherapy]

That's great, hope to hear back on your progress!

[@saucey9117]

I too love the step through especially considering I have a bad back. You make it look so fun. Good job! I too have an electric bike (Hyper scorpion) but mine is through Juiced! I love my bike! 1st time watching your videos but that’s all it took. You can see the genuine kind hearted honest man you are and I love your enthusiasm. 👍

[@GenesTherapy]

Thank you for that :)

[@khione8044]

Important to Note: This bike no longer comes with Hydraulic Breaks anymore.

[@ExperienceKevsworld]

I watched your video, I don't know how many times. I am waiting for my Escape and it's been 7 weeks!

[@GenesTherapy]

I heard there are global shipping problems, some places are having rough times getting parts etc. Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer!

[@gabyenusa2002]

Perfect review about... And I would be glad to get the link for the spacer seat to get does extra inches. Thanks for the video.

[@GenesTherapy]

The bracket I showed was just an example of what to look for, that particular one will not fit the Escape. Check the Facebook groups, I think there are some people making and selling them. Cheers!

[@lisa-fg8zh]

Looks like a whole lotta fun! 🤗 Great job on the review, riding the bike with flip flops.....ouch 😫😳 Thank you for sharing, I could go broke with your excellent finds. How about a kayak?

[@GenesTherapy]

Hi Lisa and thank you! I have some more affordable options coming up soon, stay tuned!

[@kathrynb4683]

Hey Bobby Gene! Missing FL. Been looking at e-bikes for so long. I'm so overwhelmed. Any theory as to why the majority of bikes do not have an adjustable seat height? Seems like a no-brainer...🤔🤗👋 Thanks! Learned aLOT as usual 😉🥰! Excellent comprehensive video! You really need your own network program. 😊

[@GenesTherapy]

Hi Kathryn, I think it's just this style (moped) they many don't have adjustable seats, I've some others that do. I'll be reviewing a few other, less expensive, options soon!

[@rkdm84]

22:50, that spacer isn't for the Himiway Escape, its for a different moped-style ebike so I am not sure that would work for the Himiway Escape. I've searched for a spacer/riser, and have yet to find one.

[@GenesTherapy]

For sure, I was just showing it as an example of what might be found. I would definitely need one for anything long distance.

[@MrLarrygwalker]

Awesome video Great job Thanks for sharing .

[@PhiLeo7973]

Hey Bobby Gene, just checking in after all this time to watch your superlative reviews again. I am researching EBikes at this time, and came back to watch your uniformly superb review on the Himiway Escape. It is November of 2021 as I text this, and an Ebike is def in my future, as a retiree in NYC. So many choices....Radpower,Himiway,Tern,etc. I just want to send my very best to you, your son, family, and friends, during these difficult Pandemic times, that has affected supply chain issues with bikes/Ebikes and more, of course. Be safe my brother, and continue to post reviews on Tech & more that would make any engineer proud. Be safe always, phil p.s. I can't resist. Yamaha Tenere 700 vs 2022 Kawasaki 650 KLR?😄🍀🇺🇲❤️👮

[@GenesTherapy]

Kawi! Sorry so late been out of town, Thanks for the kind words and well wishes! Busy busy on a renovation project near me. I 'd give you a great deal on this KBO bike I just reviewed if you were near by! Cheers and back at ya!

[@PhiLeo7973]

@@GenesTherapy Thanks for the gracious KBO offer BG but I'm still saving. Veteran Chris Nolte who owns PROPEL EBIKES in Brooklyn,NY & CA has great Ebike reviews & tutorials on YT. Some of his drool worthy, high end Riese & Muller German Ebikes are over $8,000. Hence my long time interest in Motorcycles too. A new 2022 Kawi KLR 650 is roughly the same price as that German Ebike. I also watch retired LEO Jerry Palladino from FL on his RIDE LIKE A PRO YT channel. Great safety stuff from a Motorcycle officer. Happy Holidays Bobby Gene,be safe.

[@theFitProfessor]

Hello sir. Where did you see the spacer for the seat? Thank you for the great review!

[@GenesTherapy]

If I remember I saw it on the dedicated Facebook page for Himiway. I also just did a Google search for bicycle seat extender.

[@howardkepple5623]

Wow very good detail I didn’t know half until you said it pretty cool bike.

[@GenesTherapy]

Hiya Howard, thank you

[@larrylee7188]

Good review Bobby Gene, do you know when the new model will appear. I'd like the negatives corrected. Mainly the throttle.

[@GenesTherapy]

Thanks! I'm not sure, check with them on their site, I haven't been given a heads up. Cheers!

[@robgifford3766]

Thanks, best review, period. Hey papa good job. May buy one soon. Like you,the 92 lbs is a concern. Like to get a mid drive, but out of my price range.

[@GenesTherapy]

Thank you Rob, I think as the competition grows the prices will continue to come down more and with better features.... hope so anyway

[@peggyhaines7394]

Wow that’s a great bike 🚲!!!! Perfect for me to be able to go farther than a peddle bike.

[@gwenabbott4574]

Ha! I'm just a bill on Capitol Hill! You know you just dated yourself right?!! As always great product review Bobby Gene. Stay cool! 😎

[@Serrano46571]

I must be Bobby's age, I remember that cartoon. 👍😁

[@GenesTherapy]

I know right Gwen!

[@stevemccormack9948]

Nice bike. Yes, I reckon it would be easy to insert 4 barrels under the saddle and 4 extension mounting screw to raise the saddle a few inches. That would make it so much more appealing to own as it enables better use of the pedals.

[@theFitProfessor]

Do you know if there is any tutorial on youtube about how to do that?

[@stevemccormack9948]

@@theFitProfessor If you look on KZbin for Scrambler V. This is a clone of the Escape from France - but better because its 20lbs lighter. There is one guy who has done a lot of mods on the V and the Scrambler S (which is a clone of Juiced Scrambler.

[@theFitProfessor]

@@stevemccormack9948 If you still have the link let me know :) I can't find it.

[@rafaeltorres1691]

I have an Escape and like you, I'm 6 feet tall, so not being able to raise the seat is a disadvantage of this model. However the bracket you show as an option to lift the seat in the Himiway Escape is from another moped style e-bike on a different brand (Juiced Scorpion). The bracket you show will not fit the Escape as shown. Waiting for Himiway to catch on and come up with a lift bracket as an option.

[@GenesTherapy]

Yes you are correct. I showed that bracket as only an example of what a person can make, or buy something similar to raise the seat.

[@Danny_Elite]

Nice! The bike design looks great 😎👍

[@GenesTherapy]

It's definitely solid!

[@terryhaines2102]

Wow that's really a cool e bike Thanks for sharing!!! God bless

[@GenesTherapy]

Thank you Terry!

[@mikesefko575]

Very clear and great info thanks alot

[@mikemills5144]

Sounds like it is stuck in comity. Lol! Loved that. Looks like they make a good quality product, I didn't think the spokes would save that much weight but I prefer the wheels that you had.

[@GenesTherapy]

Yes no spokes to adjust etc! cheers Mike!

[@robynbeacham6459]

Bobby Gene thats a 😎 cool ebike thanks for a 👍 great review ! Robyn B😀

[@GenesTherapy]

Hiya Robyn thank you!

[@normatadina9914]

It’s well detailed review , but is it ok for 5foot 3 1/2 to hop in?

[@DK_Raiders117]

If I’m 5’4”, will I my feet safely and adequately touch the ground while still sitting on the seat? Great review!

[@GenesTherapy]

The best way to check to be sure is to find a stool or stack something up to 33" and try it out. The seat cushion will crush down a bit when you sit on it, so maybe even 32" or 31".

[@palmi203]

I going to purchase the velowave. Is very similar like this ebike 750w. Will be my first bike 🚴

[@GenesTherapy]

Good luck with it, I hope it proves to be a great bike.

[@Darkness-ie2yl]

the closer they get to 2000 bucks, the less comfortable i feel about the thought of leaving it outside anywhere

[@freetrailer4poor]

I'm 6'2" and seat not bad. Yes weight is problem, take the battery out for less weight.

[@freetrailer4poor]

But I have to say a great purchase. Inos Angeles I took some bike paths, met 2 people in 2 days. I could easily see myself without a car and I am 56.

[@MOZARTUSS]

I’m 6’1” and thinking about buying the Escape. Has the seat height been any problem at all? Would you recommend it to other tall people?

[@freetrailer4poor]

@@MOZARTUSS seat height fine confortable but did get sore bottom. But i am overweight. Height not problem. There are even gappers you can get.

[@larrylee7188]

This is Dec. 27 and I got my Escape Pro 6 months after I ordered it. So I never got to ride it in the summer and cold hit Sask. in October. Now its been 9 months and I still haven't got my black helmet and free hat. I have never had so much trouble with a company. They say its on its way and a month later I'm still waiting for my helmet. Now they say I ordered to late so now they say there sending me a white helmet. Guess what still waiting.

[@GenesTherapy]

Bummer, yes I have heard from others about their supply chain issues and delays, frustrating!

[@newfdogg]

You should have bought your bike at Alter Ego Bikes in Vancouver, Rebel ST, same bike, all these bikes are made in china by Haidong, just a different name for different businesses, ect... Challenger 2, Rebel ST, Rev It Up, Escape Pro and so on , same bike.

[@peggyhaines7394]

Great job with the review. Stay safe God bless. Shared with all my social media. Share share share 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ ♥️💜🎊

[@GenesTherapy]

You guys are the best thank you so much!

[@davidirwin1549]

Looks like a lot of fun but I also need excercise. I'm 5'11" - would I be able to comfortably pedal for a good 10 miles or - is it too low and uncomfortable ergonomics wise to also get decent excercise pedaling ?

[@GenesTherapy]

I think it would be too low and could give you knee problems. Check out the fuller size options that I also recently reviewed, I love them!

[@davidirwin1549]

@@GenesTherapy Thanks for your response - I'm 60 years old and do have some knee problems and osteoarthritis.

[@GenesTherapy]

@@davidirwin1549 Oh yes get a taller bike with adjustable seat and you will love it. I'm 60 as well, so I can relate to the knees!

[@Darkness-ie2yl]

the closer they get to 2 grand the less comfort i feel with the thought of leaving it anywhere. so im gonna need to add a security guard to the price

[@Tatiacha]

looks like a great bike you hit the same two concerns I would have, weight, and static seat. I am only 5 foot tall, finding a workable bike for me is a challenge.

[@GenesTherapy]

Hey T! I think the seat height would be fine for you, and the weight isn't an issue unless you would need to pick it up frequently. I hope you find one!

[@acasdf1]

What's the height from the ground to the top of the seat? (Their picture shows pedal to seat is 28".)

[@GenesTherapy]

@@acasdf1 33.3/4 in.

[@andrecontant1046]

hi where could i get this Tall Seat (spacer)

[@GenesTherapy]

google juiced bikes, I think that's were I saw it. Might have to make your own with this bike. Also check the Himiway FB group pages!

[@MrJAZMARTHOMAS]

Why didn’t get the juice bike scrambler or the scorpion

[@GenesTherapy]

Hi Jazmar, I was sent this one for review. I'll review the others if they send me one. I just released another video review on an awesome cruiser. Check it out.

[@shirley-BEE-Van-Life____]

[@Keith80027]

Bobby, thanks for your review. I am interested in getting an ebike or something that you stand on. May I ask you inseam because that will help me understand knee break for me?

Hi Keith. Inseam 32". I have some other even more affordable ebike solutions coming up soon, stay tuned!

[@Keith80027]

@@GenesTherapy Thanks Gene, I am a 29 to 30 inseam so this bike might be Ok. I looking for a esomething to run around town in Colorado. I looking for distance and power because of the steep hills we have around the foot of the Rockies. I will be looking forward to you future reviews.

[@GenesTherapy]

@@Keith80027 The 750w motor provides great power and torque. Also check out the Himiway Cruiser video I refer to in this video. It's a bit lighter which gives it a bit more range.

[@mariahsteffekaraan7741]

Wow such a great bike

[@jadviento8815]

Technically this is not tax exempt as the motor is 750w. The law specifically states less than 750w not "up to 750w" I am sure you can get away with it since this is a class 3 ebike/Moped

[@augustpropertymanagement3389]

Wow, you got stats ready at your fingertip.

[@chip23worldwide49]

I like this ebike. But I feel like it’s too big to get it on the metro train or just a car when traveling to the beach. Also the bike frame is kinda boring. But overall seems like good quality ebike.

[@chip23worldwide49]

I haven’t seen no one take it inside a elevator. Like how much struggle is it. Maybe you can show us that.

[@iloiloguy]

Do the inner tubes have Schrader valves or Presta valves?

[@GenesTherapy]

Shrader

[@stevemccormack9948]

By the way, why is it so heavy? Is it because of those Mag Wheels?

[@GenesTherapy]

Big tires, those rear shocks, battery, thick frame

[@mofo9900]

looks like florida to me!

[@BeautifulKendo-happy]

Mechanical break

[@CAMO-hb8wc]

Your a brave man wearing flip flops while riding a bike....

[@GenesTherapy]

Not during competition, just this leisure stuff :)

[@SheikAshii]

How do you lock it? Does it use a key to turn on or does it have a password?

[@GenesTherapy]

It comes with two keys to lock in the battery. I meant to cover that in the video! ugh. The key can be removed after 'locking' in the battery.

[@ucci05]

Does the bike seems small for your size? We are both the same height

[@GenesTherapy]

Yes too small for me Phil, I didn't keep it. Not good for the knees.

[@adventuretech3765]

Seriously, "EX-Cape"??? I thought I heard you wrong the first time, but I guess not. Dude, it's ES-Cape. Just sayin'. Otherwise, good review.
