Glad they are taking responsibility. Many unhappy customers with Himiway's quality if you search around RUclips,. Once again fantastic unbiased reviews!!!
I enjoy your critiques so please forgive my cynicism but I’d be curious to know if the “average paying customer” can expect the same degree of service and attention from Himiway that you received with this issue.
Himiway emailed me and said the chain rub issue did not stem from the production of the e-bike itself, but from the handling of the components during transportation. Himiway will be sending me a new ebike and they are confident the chain will not be rubbing on the new bike they send. I will upload a short form video showing the chain does not rub on the new bike they send me. (Link to video will be here when the new bike is received) Himiway told me this was an isolated incident caused by logistics and transportation and they have communicated with the logistics company and improved the packaging to prevent such problems from occurring in the future.
I live in the UK and have the Himiway Zebra. It not only doesn't activate the motor until you have been pedalling for at least 2 to 3 seconds, but also actively slows you down even whilst pedalling if you exceed 25mph. Also, the throttle does nothing at all. It does the equivalent of a 5 year old giving you a little push from a standstill until you roll at 2mph, then it cuts off. You wouldn't happen to know of any mods out there, would you?
I knew better but watched anyway. Lost 18 minutes of my life trying to find a Himiway that I liked. Could Not. Should have left at cupholder, "because it is not magnetized". A cargo strap would defeat the whole new tech style going on. Love your show. Absolutely Best Reviewer on Tube.
I came to the conclusion quite a while ago that himiway make cheap rubbish with an expensive price tag. Like a talaria xxx isn't that much more than this and look how much more bike you get with that.
Cool bike. Looks good. I really like those tires. Makes me wonder why most Ebikes, that never go off road, have knobby tires. The tech is evolving I guess. Thanks Matt! Nice Review.
I love these bikes and how they look, but they just sell them for outrageous amounts for the worst specs! You got a 21 amp controller in this bike 750 watt motor in a 20 amp battery, that's fine for an $800 bike but what they're asking it's freaking ridiculous! I've got a 1700 bigniu bgx 48 volt system 32 amp battery and a 40 amp controller! Not only is it the baddest looking e-bike out there it freaking moves over 40 mph and it's a chopper style you can't beat it it's got all the great things hydraulic brakes 4×5 street tires I just ordered a little moped looking bike for 890 I don't expect a lot from it it's a little beater but it's dual battery 30 amp hour hydraulic brakes that's all I need. This is a beautiful bike like most of them I'm just really getting sick of the outrageous prices for what you get is just not worth it IMO of course
I was excited about this bike when I first saw it but it doesn't make sense to me. It looks fast and looks like a dirt bike but it has street tires, thumb throttle, and isn't fast. I'd rather it look like a regular bike and act like a dirt bike. I don't want to "look illegal" with none of the benifits
You need to check out the coswheel gt20, its a 1500w motorbike looking ebike should only be 1500usd 25ah battery, indicators hydraulic brakes and its just amazing i have one and it looks gorgeous
@@tomarthur564 max speed is 30mph couldnt get it higher myself it was stolen 4 days after it arrived(Christmas eve no less) so couldnt mess with the menu, after i got it but put it thru rigorous testing in those 4 days. But i recommend this bike everyday, especially since it was designed to be on to road. I will always miss that bike. I would get another ome but its so expensive in the uk right now due to coming from AliExpress
@@JudeTheRUclipsPoopersubscribe yeah i got my gt20 from china, as im in the UK they are reliable on aliexpress, took me 3 months tho but i know us shipping times are faster. The ct 20s wasnt around when i bought my gt 20, but i just saw a review for the ct20s on evrc channel
It seems china has the ability to make really good shit they just choose to go the cheap scammy route usually so it's definitely a gamble but not automatically garbage
Love your channel. Will you be testing new Himiway D7 upgraded Cobra? I just purchased it and I'm brand new to e-bikes and it seemed like it had all the right stuff. Also I am a big guy 6' 3" 295...
Rear shock seals blown! Lol You get shock pumps for 15 bucks, that will be fine for this bike! you have to increase the pressure by 20 psi increments move the back up and down 10 times to equalise the negative air chaimer, you will then need to set the sag normally to 25% innthe rear 30% in the front! Sag is your body weight stood over the bike, you will need to measure the stroke of the shoke eye to eye if it's not set correctly it can cause serious injury and or death! If it's to firm it will probably have volume spacers in it you can open it up add and remove to your rider weight, I ride the emtb with fox air suspension these are the best videos to get to know how to set rhe rear float up! Never use an electric pump or floor pump as the sealed will blow! Need any help give me a shout
Far too many negatives for the price especially when you have Goat Bikes that have much more powerful bikes at the same price, Himiway really dropped the ball on this one
@@nicklausgreggsen7407 That is how my bike was, I added a front motor, 40 amp controller and another battery, cruises at 35 now and has crazy torque, climbs any hill at 25-30 mph..I like to be able to keep up with traffic on those back roads in the forest..Every distracted driver that passes you is a real concern on a bike..
@@nicklausgreggsen7407 Citizen Cycle sells the whole kit, he has a RUclips channel..The wheel with the motor, the 40 amp controller, and a Samsung battery, and wiring harness, it's all plug and play..
Gasgas clone.. idk even know how a company can make a bike that doesnt do 40mph for 2k. Ecspecially over 2k! Im hoping 2024 is going to produce some serious contenders compared to Wired & Goat Bikes cuz they definitely set the standard in my opinion. I got my Motor Goat on the way i had the Billy Goat when it first was announced. Definitely gonna be hard to beat.
I can get a nice 750 w that goes 28 to 30 mph the dude did a speed test on it not even a thousand only thing is it doesn't have a back shock and it's not the freego
Yeah well if i order one and the chain issue happens i dont think they will be willing to send me a whole new bike. They are only doing that for you because your a youtuber and dont want you saying anything bad about their bike.
Looks to me like it's a bike that isn't fit for purpose. How can a manufacturer let a bike go out of the door with the chain rubbing the tyre, basics!🤦🤦🤦. So the bike only does 20mph and is on the more legal side, yet it looks like a motorcycle, that's another negative. I guess the chain issue could be rectified by taking it off seeing as though it can't really be pedaled anyway due to the low seat position.
This ebike by Himiway is especially dissapointing. I wonder why they are selling this as it brings down their brand. This ebike should have a 1500watt motor that peaks at a thousand watts over to achieve good performance.
@@paradoxworkshop4659 cupholder works great especially with the provided tumbler. To test it myself i filled it with water, put it on my c5 on my van’s bike rack and drove 300mi over rough roads and it was still there right where id left it. Theres a little spring clip thing to help hold the drink

Great review, unbiased and fair as always! Glad you pointed out the defect and not just ignored reporting it., Kudos and great work as always!
Rubbing chain is absolutely unacceptable
No doubt
Right, 2500$ for this pos bike is way too much.
Very true. Happens like it's no big deal. It's a very big deal

Buyers still should be very careful if you do some searching with Himiway they have had many issues with quality on bikes previously.
Citizencycle had the c5 unlocked in his review yesterday he got 26-27 mph

Everyone that thinks this was a hit and miss. Go check out the Raev GTX. Hits 35mph alllll day long. And looks good. Replaced my super73
The manufacturers need to move their batteries closer to the ground. Lower center of gravity for better handling.
I like it on the down tube for that reason.
I was excited about this bike when I first saw it but it doesn't make sense to me. It looks fast and looks like a dirt bike but it has street tires, thumb throttle, and isn't fast.

Every company can make a bike go 40mph but most companies are trying to build e-bikes that conform to the class 1,2,3 requirements.
Legality
Can you review the radster trail
😳🤣 Brother, those plastic Hub guards on the wheel's., Well They actually screw off🤣. Yeah I figured I just let you know.✌🏻🤘🏻🍻
Not too sure about that cup holder 😂
You should review the SB thunder MK2 15000 from e strapz
Matt next time you are doing a bike review in Venice. Try and find Daisy the Venice healer she is off the bean😂
OG Super73 had a cupholder and can opener 0:58
do you have a watts hour consumtion to give us ?
do you ever think you'll be able to have a video on the eahora romeo pro.
Why would I buy this over a softtail Revv1 or Wired Freedom? Does this bike offer anything these two don't offer?
Is anybody coming out with any new trikes? I like your pup pup he or she is beautiful ❤
Would be a nicer bike with a 60V 40 amp controller. Maybe 30 ah.
My new DRZ400 😁👍
a bike with that frame should have at least a 52v 1000w setup.
I can get a nice 750 w that goes 28 to 30 mph the dude did a speed test on it not even a thousand only thing is it doesn't have a back shock and it's not the freego
Nice modifiable bike but wayyyy too much coin. Another great vid Matt!
video 1 of asking for your himway e bike
Would you consider a 54.6 battery empty at 46.8v?
Noo empty is 41 volt
Just like the dirt bikes nowadays they make the seats so thin
Do you purchase all the bikes or most are free reviews sent to you?
Nice design but at that size it looks like a little kid's bike.
Make it a 24 or 26 and fix that chain issue and I would buy one.
Unless you HAD to have a torque sensor on a moped looking bike, I really don’t see why you’d go with this over a Romeo or Juliet, but that’s me. :)
THATS IN GTAV
Number6 !!! Thank you Matt
I just don't see $2300 worth of bike there 😅 You make lovely videos though 👍

That chain touching the tire is definitely unacceptable. Omg. How do you not catch that before selling it?
his is Probably a stupid question but Why do they call it “The California Incline”? Is it a nickname? Where did it originate from?
Throttle is on the wrong side and the chain rubs only 750 watts for 2300$ itsnt worth it
