Great review. I’m happy to see that I’m not the only one who gets out of breath riding an e-bike 😂 I was one of the first persons at work to have an e-bike and I got quite a lot of stick from my mates about only old men need that sort of bike, and now 5 years later nearly everyone has one. Funny how times changes 😂

Cracking review Ads, the filming was really good and well edited. The bike got a fair review and will help many to form an opinion on it. For me, it seems heavy and there are many lighter framed bikes on the market to choose from if for more general road/trail riding. Still, a big help, so cheers.👋

I've clocked over 5,000 miles on my Cube Hybrid with its Bosch system. I've replaced the usual things, chains, brake pads, tyres and the cassette at 5,0000 miles. and even the pedals at 3,600 miles.The main cause for concern is the electrics, especially the motor. What can I say. No problems at all - yet lol. At least with this new bike of yours if the motor gives up after many miles you can just swap the back wheel with another motor in it. With my Cube that won't happen because it's a mid drive motor and a specialist's job. Good luck with it.

Because of your review and some others, I just bought a himiway cruiser... 🎉 When I put it together yesterday, I noticed they've made some improvements. Brakes are now the right way round for the UK, new headlight, which is higher, and the charger now has a UK plug. Great looking machine. Thanks! 👍

GREAT review. You really put it through it’s paces 😃😃. If only we were 60+ years younger lol. Wiltshire Man also gave a honest and rigorous review. You’ll have to put your thinking cap on to devise a way to attach a hefty carrier to the back of the motor home so that you can enjoy this “beasty” looking bike when you start travelling again. Also a nice touring seat for Zoe to sit on would eliminate the need for a second bike 😃😏😃😏😃. Judy

Hi Steve, Herman is much better now. I still need to sort out the door the first garage damaged though. I will be doing an update video soon. Thanks for asking 👍👍

How long have you had this bike for and how many miles does it have on it? The riding position and the fact that it actually has decent fenders interest me. I have just done 900 miles on a MiRider one which I love, but the motor appears to have already crapped out. Granted I'm a hard rider, and yes I've ridden it in the wet, but although it will get sorted under warranty it hasn't given me much confidence in the longevity of e-bikes in wet UK conditions.

@HermanHitstheRoad

Жыл бұрын

Hi Cal, I've not had the bike long and I've only done about 50 miles.

Just fyi, the US version of this bike gets a 450W motor...and the UK only 250W. Also, you can change the front handbar step if you do not like the upright 'cruser' position. Finally, you can enter a 4 digit code and increase the speed limit.

@HermanHitstheRoad

Жыл бұрын

Thanks WestHam. You're right but this is a UK legal ebike so 250W max is fine and you shouldn't increase its speed. Otherwise, you'd need an MOT, tax and insurance to ride it on the roads

iirc the UK spec himiway actually has a weaker motor. a 250 watt motor. compared to the 750 watt on the NA version. (in canada we have a 500 watt limit but they use the controller software to limit the output which funny enough can be removed lol). the throttle on them can get them to 20 MPH and up to 25 or higher when unlocked, which isnt street legal. so i feel like the UK model just feels bad to have less power, but that also means it will generally have a better range.

@HermanHitstheRoad

Жыл бұрын
