@@WiltshireMan sorry thought you said it had 750w motor. I have a mate x (17ah battery) get around 40-50 miles using off road tyres. Done over 15k miles on it.
My mom and dad are both in their mid/late 50s. Neither of them had been massively active due to work/other commitments. Since getting pedal assisted bikes, they’ve both really bonded going on off road rides together around the country. They’re not for everyone but I think they definitely have made people more active.
What a great idea for Mandy! It is just wonderful that now Mandy has a way to enjoy that beautiful countryside of England without compromising her health. And I think that you might even put it to use with a run out to do some shopping yourself if you are kind of feeling the effects of a cold or something and not feeling like peddling so hard. Very kind of Himiway to provide that for you to test and review. Enjoy it my friend and I will see you on the next one.
Its great to see the difference the Himiway has made to Mandy's ability to get about. It's a fantastic compromise between a conventional cycle and Mandy's scooter as she can now choose exactly the amount of effort she wants to put in. Best wishes to you both.
Thanks Steve, I am pleased Mandy is able to use this bike, she needs to get out and the Ebike will give the confidence to tackle some hills and get some gentle exercise:) It's a lovely well built bike too:)
Fantastic review Sandy, very thorough and informative. Loved the video, especially when Mandy blasted by you up the hill! 🤗 Made my husband and I chuckle! Great to see Mandy able to get involved in the fun, much love to her and yourself. Take care and keep on riding! 😊
Delighted for Mandy, i started using ebikes with arthritus and adjust assistance depending on how i feel that day. it is a game changer for getting out in fresh air and seeing things as a cyclist experiences them.
That was nice to see mandy out and about with a big smile, i can see us all rideing around on Ebikes in the future as we get older anything to be able to carry on enjoying the great outdoors, cheers guys.
Nice bike Sandy, i've had a Merida Ebike for 3 years now, only tips I can give is keep the tyre pressure at the maximum, good running gear maintenance and check the tyres for thorns weekly, even though they state puncture proof or resistance, thorns undetected eventually work their way through to the inner tube and its a bugger fixing a puncture on these heavy bikes! Oh, and the battery will not thank you for very cold storage conditions.
Excellent review Sandy, and great to see Mandy out and enjoying the bike, no doubt about the advantage of electric assist on those hills, couldn't help but chuckle when she roared passed you.
Inspirational! You both have the right attitude: whatever life throws at you, get on with it, no use moaning it doesn't change a thing. A relation on my wife's side has always had the maxim: ' No rest, No rust, No rust , No bust'. He's 96 and still grows his own veg and lives on his own. Thanks for the video.
Great video, I'm really pleased Mandy enjoyed herself the bike looks really robust, my wife and i are both disabled walking for me is extremely painful I also have ME (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) I had a normal bike however when I tried to get off it my legs gave way due to the above problems, my body felt absolutely drained of energy I couldn't even stand up I sat for an hour or so and eventually got home, those bikes would probably help me tremendously however I'm afraid of spending all that money and finding that it doesn't help. As always Sandy I love your videos and give Mandy a big WELL DONE. See you soon
What i find with my ebike is that tyre pressure can affect the battery range so i would pump those big tyres up as much as you can before it starts to feel an uncomfortable ride ,also i set my bike up tubeless with latex sealant and no inner tubes and punctures are a thing of the past . Frosty weather and cold days will also affect the range too , Looks a great bike for your good lady wife .
Great to see Mandy out enjoying the cycling experience, which as you said in the video,she would not normal be able to do. That’s the good thing with electric bikes as they give those less able the chance to get out and about. Good to see you’ve got your boot zipper back too. Hope the bigger size is more suitable for you. Thanks for the video.
Very good to see Mandy out and about on an E bike , they are good fort oldies like me . I generally have mine power set on 3 and i can get about 45klms range . My biggest problem on an E bike is am i going to get enough range but iv'e not run out yet , range anxiety . My wife has an E bike too and thats another worry because she can get carried away and with her lack of ability ride too fast and if she may fall off or hit something and get injured but i keep a close eye on her . Sandy , i can see you with an E bike in the not too distant future :-)
Good proper review Sandy. I was thinking of cycling the Camino de Santiago, and after only doing the Ridgeway last year on a pedal cycle admittedly with my head down grunting away I didnt really get the most out of the ride as effort trumped my ability to watch the countryside. Oh now Ive got to save the pennys for a new project. Thanks
Hi Sandy a great review. The E-Bikes have certainly open up cycling to many more,that’s for sure. Glad the boss is finding it easy to ride and enjoying being out with the boys. Looks like the range is going to be very good as well, lovely to see Mandy making light work of the hills. It’s great you both can get out and explore the countryside. Have fun and enjoy.👍🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️😀
Mandy loves her new bike Charles, she is now a lot faster than me up the hills. Just good to see her enjoying riding again as she can no longer pedal a conventional bike very far and hills are out of the question. Now it's as if they are all down hills:)
Well done Sandy for getting Mandy out enjoying E biking and joining you on your video adventures. When I can no longer ride my motorcycles this would be the next move. Another great informative video from Wiltshire Man.
@@WiltshireMan She's got you my friend and that is a big plus! Maybe this is the thing she needs to get going in the other direction. In any case, sending your Family (especially Mandy) love from my Family across the river! Keep them safe and healthy! Catch you on the next video!
I like the look of that bike. I have been thinking I would like something like that to set up for fishing in places like Miami Florida along the canal paths or the Root River in Wisconsin where parking is very limited and biking or walking is the only to access good areas. Outdoor activity like fishing or camping is far more fun if you can stay mobile. Looks like Mandy had a great time on her ride. Looks like a ticket for a ride to good health.
Thanks Jim, I hope Mandy will benefit from the gentle exercise the Ebike affords her. Yes this type of bike would suit you especially if you fitted the heavy duty front rack and also towed a trailer, you could haul a lot of fishing and camping gear:)
Sandy, this is absolutely fantastic. I am so very happy for you and the love of your life, Mandy. This is such a feel good video. This is something I might look into, I’m also disabled due to bone cancer. I’m a survivor and a fighter and this could be a way for me to get around instead of crutches. Getting back to you. To see you out there with Mandy was a treat. I say thanks to your brother for helping. Thanks for sharing. Tony.
Hi Tony, Bone cancer sounds very painful, I hope they are able to cure you or slow it down. The Ebike is a game changer for Mandy, on a normal bike she struggles to ride even a mile or two and for sure can't climb any hills but on this ebike she was able to get up the hills with ease and ride 25 miles off the bat!
Been active my whole life jogging , hiking ,kayaking etc. Now at 74 with five stints in my heart electric bikes have allowed me and my wife to stay active. We live in a very rural area with some steep hills and without pedal assist we wouldn't be able to bike. We ride a 20 mile out and back route every other day . We both have over 5000 miles on our bikes and it has opened up new possibilities as we take them on various trails we couldn't ride otherwise. Some say you don't get any exercise on an Ebike. I know for a fact and many studies have shown this is BS. I can no longer jog or walk any distance comfortably but for some reason riding a bike doesn't bother me as long as I have a little help when I need it. Wish I was still young and could ride without assist but Father time ALWAYS wins. I know your wife will enjoy her Ebike and I will bet you will get one for yourself inasmuch as your hip problem and your inability to keep up with your wife on rides will eventually necessitate you to bite the bullet. I originally bought my wife an Ebike because we were carrying our bikes to a local paved Greenway and though I'm not a fast rider she couldn't keep up with me. After I bought her an Ebike I found I couldn't keep up with her so I got one for myself. So now instead of loading our bikes and driving 50 miles round trip several times a week we are able to leave from our house to ride. I used to fill up my little truck every 8-10 days now I fill it once every 3 weeks so I'm saving a bundle on gas.
Hi Larry, Thats a wondeerful comment and you raised some good points. Yes Old father time will win in the end and I must say I am beginning to struggle with my hip. I feel that the day will come when I too have an ebike especially when riding with my wife. Without Ebike assist Mandy would not be able to ride at all, I think they are wonderful and will as you quite correctly say give you some gentle exercise too which is all we need as we get older. Thanks and take care Sandy
Great honest review the E-Bike looks great and it's handling those muddy paths no problem looks like a well built piece of kit. E-Bikes are great and like you said it gets people out who may not otherwise be able to ride a bike for what ever reason. The range is great thanks to the large battery capacity and it's still a decent price. Thanks for the review.
I’m in my mid 70s waiting for the NHS to replace one of my knee’s I have difficulty walking, in August this year I got a Raleigh Motus grand tour e bike with hub gears and Bosch motor and battery. I can now cycle 20 plus miles without problems, where I have pain problems if I walk 200 yards. E bikes are the way to go for folk with age or health problems.
Fantastic review, I've been looking at loads of e bikes, and been baffled with different specs and jargon, now I know which one to get.thank you both for a brilliant review which I could understand.
I bet your both chuffed to bits, really pleased for Mandy, that must be a great feeling to be out and about. Plus overtaking you ! Strangly though, I bought an e-bike Friday so i an commute to and from work 2 or 3 days a week as it would normally be a bit to far. I'm working on the principle it's some exercise! Anyway really pleased for you both...ha e a great time and thanks for another well put together film. Cheers Grant.
Hats off to Himiway for sending you the bike. Must say it looks a very impressive machine coping really well with what you through at it, especially the muddy areas no sign of any slipping and the build looks real good quality a rarity these days. Wouldn't mind one myself. Excellent video as always Sandy.
@@WiltshireMan It was an enjoyable morning apart from the drone crash, but it's all good now, I bought another one of the same, I do think they are good drones.
just ordered the himiway zebra , supposed to be the updated version of that cruiser, i will keep you updated on progress, thanks for the video and review , was extremely helpful
Geddon Mandy! Lovely to see you out and about and great that you and Sandy can enjoy cycling together. Youre an insperation to us all. Really admire you 😄
Good timing! I went on a ride with my girlfriend recently and without wishing to be disrespectful, it didn’t go well. So been thinking about buying an electric bike for her. These bikes are a game changer imo as they make cycling accessible for all 👍
Excellent! Great to see Mrs. Wiltshire Man out and about with you. And look! You have your own camera crew. I knew the day would come. Next up: 'make up and hair' assistants ((o; From the clues, it seems you have the new 'BootZipper' frame, so hopefully we can soon (?) expect a fuller "out and about" video with that bike in the starring role. Question: what was the saddle you and your friends were keen on, Mr. W.M.? Was it a 'Charge'? - any views/insights on that now you've had it on your MTB for a little while would be appreciated - looks like I'll be (back) on two wheels again soon, but gosh, how that hurt these old and neglected leg muscles ):
Hi Barry, Yes the Bootzipper is back with Large frame. It's a wonderful bike and really a good fit for me now. The saddle is a Charge spoon. I find it quite comfortable but my mate Dave doesn't so it could be a personal thing. They are highly regarded saddles though and not expensive either:)
A great bike Sandy I'm looking for a new ebike myself so will be checking out there page 👍👍 fantastic to see Mandy out and enjoying the experience and it means you can both get out together it's a win win situation for you both atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Thanks Jimmy, I am very impressed with The Himiway, a really robust bike for the money and with the front luggage rack fitted it would make a real workhorse too
Excellent video bro that is something that would suit me. I have a small solar setup that I charge batteries for my power tools that I could charge the battery with and cost nothing to run. The seat looks quite comfortable too. Safe travels to you both..Big thanks to Himiway
oh, you caught up with me, I got an ebike too. Just think where you could go with your camping gear. Nothing stopping you getting a step thru, like Mandy's.
The build quality is amazing, and those tyres and mud guards look incredible. The main thing is Mandy is able to soak up some Mr Solar Face and get some fresh air, and she obviously enjoyed it. For less than 2k it is a must for anyone into biking that needs a little extra help....
Thanks Bry, Mandy is really benefitting from the assistance, without it she would struggle to even cycle a mile or two and definately no hill climbs. As it is now with the Ebike she managed 25 miles and plenty of smiles:) And she got some gentle exercise too. She watched the video and laughed out loud at herself:)
Great review Sandy, Himiway should be proud, That bike put a smile on Mandys face for sure you ain't getting any peace now my friend.. 🤣🤣 BTW did you mention what the price would've been of the bikes on the video.?
@@WiltshireMan Couldn't agree more Sandy as what she deals with within herself and tries to march on is another story, but seems about to change by the look on her face. As it must be a ton lifted off of her, on the bike and off, paddle if you want or just cruise. what a great plus to those who can but now use a chair. Best you pack two sets of spare batteries I reckon, be no stopping either of you now.
I think that Himiway is the ideal bike for Mandy! great! I hope to see her in more video's with you, now that she has a way of keeping up with less strain. and yet still a safe workout for her heart I would imagine. in any event kudos to Himingway for their offer. thanks for sharing. 73 es Hp to CUDTL OM!!!!! still waiting!! de Ellis WA1RKS
Hi Sandy, I've looked at these e bikes in the past and you're correct about being able to unlock the extra power if you wish. You should also be able to change the readout from kph to mph too.
Nice to see you back on your bike a e,bike at that very nice and it was nice to see the two of you Mandy and your self out door good video take care stay safe stay healthy one life enjoy blessed be
Hi Amante, Mandy will be able to get some gentle exercise now which will do her good. She can't ride a normal bike very far these days but the ebike is great for her:)
Ooh, a fatty! I used to have one myself. No front suspension though...which eventually turned painful for my wrists. And no assist, and even wider tyres (10cm broad rims). Great fun in the snow, though!

That looks like a really decent bit of kit, good to see Mandy out and about enjoying herself.
It's always a great feeling when you see your wife enjoying something that she loves. Good for you both hope you enjoy many more rides out.

Nice bike Sandy, i've had a Merida Ebike for 3 years now, only tips I can give is keep the tyre pressure at the maximum, good running gear maintenance and check the tyres for thorns weekly, even though they state puncture proof or resistance, thorns undetected eventually work their way through to the inner tube and its a bugger fixing a puncture on these heavy bikes!

An impressive piece of kit, Sandy, and one which has meant Mandy can get some exercise whilst enjoying herself. Great stuff. 🙂👍

Hi Oshi, Perhaps you could find someone who would let you try an ebike before you buy one but I fully understand your predicament.
Mandy is just like the Energizer Bunny. She just keeps going and going! A great idea Sandy!
Haaa yes now she has the power:)
What i find with my ebike is that tyre pressure can affect the battery range so i would pump those big tyres up as much as you can before it starts to feel an uncomfortable ride ,also i set my bike up tubeless with latex sealant and no inner tubes and punctures are a thing of the past . Frosty weather and cold days will also affect the range too , Looks a great bike for your good lady wife .

Question: what was the saddle you and your friends were keen on, Mr. W.M.? Was it a 'Charge'? - any views/insights on that now you've had it on your MTB for a little while would be appreciated - looks like I'll be (back) on two wheels again soon, but gosh, how that hurt these old and neglected leg muscles ):
Hi Barry,
Yes the Bootzipper is back with Large frame. It's a wonderful bike and really a good fit for me now. The saddle is a Charge spoon. I find it quite comfortable but my mate Dave doesn't so it could be a personal thing. They are highly regarded saddles though and not expensive either:)
A great bike Sandy I'm looking for a new ebike myself so will be checking out there page 👍👍 fantastic to see Mandy out and enjoying the experience and it means you can both get out together it's a win win situation for you both atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Thanks Jimmy, I am very impressed with The Himiway, a really robust bike for the money and with the front luggage rack fitted it would make a real workhorse too
Excellent video bro that is something that would suit me. I have a small solar setup that I charge batteries for my power tools that I could charge the battery with and cost nothing to run. The seat looks quite comfortable too. Safe travels to you both..Big thanks to Himiway
Hi Ken a simple solar charging system would be great for keeping an Ebike battery topped up
👍
Freedom! Now you're both free to explore as much as you like.
You'll have to make a video on how to negotiate those anti bike barriers Sandy! They've sprung up everywhere here and the Himiway bikes are so heavy
Great bit of kit put to a very good use 👍
I think that’s great for your wife , the fresh air will do her good aswell , bless you both😊
Thanks Donna, Yes the fresh air will work wonders for Mandy:)
oh, you caught up with me, I got an ebike too. Just think where you could go with your camping gear. Nothing stopping you getting a step thru, like Mandy's.
They are great bikes Robert and make cycling very easy
Nice kit Sandy, impressed with the range!
The build quality is amazing, and those tyres and mud guards look incredible. The main thing is Mandy is able to soak up some Mr Solar Face and get some fresh air, and she obviously enjoyed it. For less than 2k it is a must for anyone into biking that needs a little extra help....
Thanks Bry, Mandy is really benefitting from the assistance, without it she would struggle to even cycle a mile or two and definately no hill climbs.
As it is now with the Ebike she managed 25 miles and plenty of smiles:) And she got some gentle exercise too.
She watched the video and laughed out loud at herself:)
Go Mandy Go
So glad you are out and about and loving life
Great video again
best thing ever ebikes and that one looks fantastic.come summer 50 mile spins will be no bother to mandy .
Brilliant, very pleased for you both 👌 👏👋
Crumbs well done Mandy, don't think I could do that !
It's easy Paul on these ebikes:)
Great bit of kit ...happy new year to you and the Mrs mate 👍🏻🚴🚴
Happy new year Coops : )
Very thorough interesting review, many thanks Sandy
Absolutely brilliant 😀
Great review Sandy, Himiway should be proud, That bike put a smile on Mandys face for sure you ain't getting any peace now my friend.. 🤣🤣 BTW did you mention what the price would've been of the bikes on the video.?
Thanks Cockers, If your able to you can find all the info in the description box of this video. That's always apparent if you watch on a TV though
@@WiltshireMan Yep it's all mainly watched on a TV Sandy. Cheers for the +info..
Hello Sandy what a great video and a great review so pleased for Mandy she is marvellous you must be pleased. Regards Brian
I'm pleased that Mandy is able to get out and have some gentle exercise too. The bike is a big asset for her
Pure joy and welcome to the club!
Terrific piece of kit, but I'd be always worrying about locking up something that expensive, it's like a beacon to thieves
Bike theft is always a worry Oscar
How good is that? both in later life acting like kids and enjoying yourself. One very new Mandy for you Sandy and great to see.
It's good that she has some freedom restored Arthur:)
@@WiltshireMan Couldn't agree more Sandy as what she deals with within herself and tries to march on is another story, but seems about to change by the look on her face. As it must be a ton lifted off of her, on the bike and off, paddle if you want or just cruise. what a great plus to those who can but now use a chair. Best you pack two sets of spare batteries I reckon, be no stopping either of you now.
Wiltshire man: Do you plan on doing any shooting videos at some point? Cheers, Charles.
-really enjoyed your previous ones!
I have no plans to do any shooting videos at present Charles
Lovely bit of kit Sandy. Girl power Mandy x
Fantastic vid lovely to see you and the good lady having a lovely day
Mandy likes the speed and power… She’s probably already looked up how to unlock that 750W 😬
She would be a hooligan if she had the full 750 watts unlocked Nicholas. She would probably get a speeding ticket too:)
Wow what a great video, and a great idea, e bikes have come a long long way. Hat totally suits you Hope you and Mandy are well :)
Hi Gary all good here thanks apart from the aches and pains as we get a bit older:)
It even has Kenda tires! I think this will be great for Mandy.
They are good tires I believe Bill
I think that Himiway is the ideal bike for Mandy! great! I hope to see her in more video's with you, now that she has a way of keeping up with less strain. and yet still a safe workout for her heart I would imagine. in any event kudos to Himingway for their offer. thanks for sharing. 73 es Hp to CUDTL OM!!!!! still waiting!! de Ellis WA1RKS
Thank you for sharing your video! Cheers!
Thanks for watching Dan:)
@@WiltshireMan You're very welcome, Sandy!
Great video Sandy, I am surprised how much your bike looks like mine Rad ebike.
I think they are quite similar Doug, certainly enables Mandy to get out riding
Hi Sandy, I've looked at these e bikes in the past and you're correct about being able to unlock the extra power if you wish. You should also be able to change the readout from kph to mph too.
That would be useful to change it to MPH but I think I'll leave the power settings alone. Mandy could become reckless and get a sppeding ticket:)
Looks a great bit out kit
Nice to see you back on your bike a e,bike at that very nice and it was nice to see the two of you Mandy and your self out door good video take care stay safe stay healthy one life enjoy blessed be
Thankyou Francis:) It is good to cycle together
Well done Mandy, make sure you keep it up & get yourself a stove tent !
Haa, Mandy doe enjoy the comforts of home it has to be said:)
Fantastic review, funny when Mandy blasted by you.
Haa Thanks John, Mandy really likes the ebike. She is faster than me now. Almost as fast as a Himi:)
Excellent video Sandy!! Nice looking E-Bike ~ Himiway to go!! 🙌👍 Go Mandy Go!!🤠Aww, Love this video!!🙏 Well done Sandy!👍
Hi Amante,
Mandy will be able to get some gentle exercise now which will do her good. She can't ride a normal bike very far these days but the ebike is great for her:)
@@WiltshireMan … Great video Sandy, enjoyed this one a lot!!👍 All the best & Happy Thanksgiving to You and your Family!!
Way to go Mandy!
You said the pedals are both RH threads. But that’s not correct lh side is LH thread.
Thanks Dean, you are correct:)
Love the video thanks . What's it like to remove the rear wheel if you get a puncture ?
I should imagine fixing a puncture would be harder than a conventional bike but somewhat easier than a motorcycle Laurence
Looks like a good choice for rides on " rails to trails:.
Great video
also legal speed limit is 15.5 mph and that bike certainly does above that from this video
Tony, the readout is in KM/H and not MPH
Max speed without putting in a lot more leg effort topped out at around 24 to 25 Km/h which is around 15.5Mph
@@WiltshireMan at the end of the day if that motor is 500 700 or a 1000 watt even if its governed its still illegal in this country
Well done Guys 👍
Thanks John and hope your keeping OK
🤔 you’ll have to call it spark ⚡️ if you decided to keep it. I think there great, anything that helps & assists you is good.
Thats a great name Andy:)
Ooh, a fatty! I used to have one myself. No front suspension though...which eventually turned painful for my wrists. And no assist, and even wider tyres (10cm broad rims). Great fun in the snow, though!
Hopefully we will get some snow this winter then I can test ride it in those conditions:)
At last! .....Something for Mandy ;)
Haa, Yes she has a nice shiny new bike:)
I think you should get one😊
Haa, it's a lovely bike and sure would like one but they won't do multi day off road adventures because of the need to recharge the battery
