    You can get fat bike adapters from Thule, so you could take it with your motorhome. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195194543500?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=hd02LEy6TJO&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=lHFeJWAtQKy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    A great, in depth review from you both. And what a lovely lad Liam is, he’s a credit to your family. It looks a cracking bike, but as you say, maybe too big for the motorhome / caravan world.

    Excellent review Bob/Liam. I always enjoy your reviews as they are totally unbiased. Other RUclipsrs could learn a thing or two from you.
    Ps what a cracking lad your nephew is, obviously has a nice family around him 🙌

    German motorhomes with wide doors may be the answer? Shame scooter cannot be used on roads as they are small and have great range.

    • @BobEarnshawMoHo
      @BobEarnshawMoHo  2 года назад

      Yes, a wider door or a big tall garage would be great. Yes, electric scooters seem a good idea. It's worth mentioning that the Himiway is a Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle and as such it is road legal, because as shipped, it is limited to 15.5mph on pedal assist and throttle assist is limited up to 4mph. Unless someone unlocks it for higher speeds of course.

    Did you say that the brakes on the handle bars are the wrong way round?

      Yes, but bear I mind it makes it illegal on the road. Look up the RUclips channel 'tinkering turtle'

    My Rockrider est900 has similar fat tyres, 2.8" wide 27.5" wheels. I bought a Thule Velo Compact bike rack that hooks on to my towbar and i carry it around using that. Our Swift 784 motorhome has been ordered with both a towbar and a Thule bike rack. I am hoping the Thule Elite bikerack that Salop are providing on the motorhome will hold the bike. If not, then i will use my towbar attached Thule bike rack. Am sure your ebike would fit on one of these types.

    • @BobEarnshawMoHo
      @BobEarnshawMoHo  2 года назад +1

      The tyres on the Himiway are 4 inches wide, so I'd be interested to see if that Thule rack would take the Cruiser.

    Looks brilliant. Is there drive to both wheels? Do you need third party insurance for it?

    • @BobEarnshawMoHo
      @BobEarnshawMoHo  2 года назад +1

      It's a rear hub motor. No you don't need insurance, it's a Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle. Good insurance is always an idea though.

      Don't think it would need anything unusual. A good quality steel rope type I'd say.

    Throttle only gets you up to 20 mph and 25 mph with pedal assist without unlocking it if you unlock it The throttle will get you to 25 mph.

    Yeah, definitely looks too big for a motorhome. Well, Liam seems to be really happy with the bike. However, you didn't really test it out on any steep hills

    • @BobEarnshawMoHo

      That's because we don't have any steep hills in Sefton. 😁
