    thankyou for your excellent video instructions. They are a fantastic reference tool. I received my regular cruiser a couple of months ago and love riding it. We had to wait for my wife to receive her step-thru and just received it a couple of days ago. Assembly was a breeze this time and following your setup instructions for the controls was icing on the cake. Unfortunately we had some issues with this cruiser shifting through the gears. We could not get into first and sometimes second gear. This in turn made it difficult for my wife on her first ride. I searched for information on the process to adjust the shifting mechanism and had very little luck until I stumbled into a video showing adjustment of a shifter that was similar. If you are so inclined I think an instruction video from you on this might be of great benefit to those of us renewing our interest in bike riding. Thank you again for all you have already shown us. Keep pedaling.

    Received my step-thru today, and came to your video on assembly Tim. I thought I'd check out 'this' video, while waiting for the battery to fully charge! Assembly took me a little longer than I thought, and I used many of my own tools to make the job easier, and double checked all screws/bolts on the bike for tightness (including the kick stand) and even checked and inflated the tires up to 20 psi. Looking forward to getting on and riding, as my bike took 5 1/2 months to get to me here in southwest Canada. UPS delivered a day early which was nice, albeit it was delivered to my next door neighbours place. My bike came very dusty (looked like it was in a wood mill somewhere!) so I've now gave it a good cleaning, and will check out more of your video's before proceeding for my first ride! Thanks Tim, your video's are very helpful indeed!

    Liked and subscribed.. I just bought a Himiway step thru Cruiser used from a guy in Lansing. He told me about your videos and channel. When we met up the seller gave me a quick run down of how everything worked, but who knows how much of that i'll actually remember since I wont be able to ride until Muskegon thaws out from the ice storm a bit more.. My point is, thank you for doing this video. I have it bookmarked so I can easily come back when its time and learn how to use my new bike.. Thank you so very much for making this video. 😁

    My Himiway ebike Hello Tinkering Turtle. I got mine yesterday, ordered 2/10 and received it yesterday 2/27. I use your videos to set up all the function of the bike. I noticed on this bike, the limiter can only be adjusted to a maximum of 45. Once you get to 45, it doesn’t let you go any further. Thank you for all these useful videos you make. I really appreciate your work.

    That is how the new bikes come. Even though you could adjust it to 90 before, the bike still only went 45. So there is no real difference.

    Again your videos are letting me customize the bike my way. Before I got my bike I was watching your videos to see what might be done if or when necessary. After the brake adjustment video and doing the adjustment to my front brake. I was riding really good but way to fast at the start. The 0 to 5 speeds when starting in #1 assist was like a rocket going off as the bike lurched forward. I am use to my slow Recumbent or Mountain Bike starts. Adjusting the power assist from 0 - 5 to 0 - 9 , level # 1 is way more civilized for starting and topping out in a nice 7 MPH bracket. Test riding it I got to level 6 and after going back for my hat this decision was made. I would keep # 7 ,# 8 and # 9 in reserve for when a Cheetah ( If one ever escapes from the Zoo ) thinks I am fair game. lol

    As far as I know the speed limit is the same for PAS and for the throttle. The speed limiter section is at time stamp 10 min 17 sec. This should apply to the throttle too. Keep in mind that newer bikes cannot be changed like my version of the bike. I believe, from what I have read, that the new bikes are limited to around 24mph.

    Hi! great video tutorial. Just wondering what are the advantages of resetting the PAS level from the factory default of 0 to 5, to 0 to 7 or 9? Does it limit your range or draw more battery power. Thanks!

  • @TinkeringTurtle

    The higher the number of PAS levels, the more gradual the acceleration curve. Also at 0-5, PAS level 1 will start you out at 50% power, while at 0-9 it will only start you out at 25%. Much smoother and more steps up giving you that gradual increase and more control over PAS power.

    Hi, like your videos. Question, if I unlock the speed setting to allow the bike to go to max speed, does this also change the amount of power I have under the percentage settings. In other words if have Level 1 set at 25% with the speed setting now unlocked to max speed will Level 1 now be faster? Thanks

    No, I don’t believe so. The limiter just stops the motor at a given speed. If you take it off then it will allow the motor to run past that speed but the power distribution hasn’t changed.

    Hi Tim! Great video. I got mine yesterday and my LS only goes up to 45. I am wondering if that is keeping my top speed restricted since on my first ride I was only able to go about 25MPH. Or is it possible that cold weather slows down the top speed as it was 15 degrees Fahrenheit? I weigh about 190 so I assumed I would get up to 28 or 29 at least.

  • @TinkeringTurtle

    @TinkeringTurtle

    3 жыл бұрын

    Even though I can change my LS setting to 90, my bike is still limited to 45. (45 km/h = 28 mph) It sounds like Himiway or the display manufacturer has now restricted being able to set it higher than 45. But the speed limiter has always been 45. There are a number of factors that go into top speed using throttle. At 15 degrees, all lubricants change viscosity. Bearings don’t roll as easy. Batteries can lose some power etc. I would not be too worried at this point, wait until spring/summer and try again. I hope this helps!

  • @TinkeringTurtle

    @TinkeringTurtle

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hi Bernie, the answer is subjective. Here is the baseline, the Himiway step-thru and cruiser come set to pedal assist (PAS) levels set to 0-5. I changed ours to 0-7. My wife and I are comfortable at these levels. As you increase gears (1-7) the pedaling gets harder. As you increase the PAS level (0-7) the motor puts out more power making it easier to pedal. So you need to balance the two and get to a comfortable or desired pedal effort. Typically if it want a light pedal effort I use PAS 2, gear 5. As I want to increase speed and keep a similar pedal effort I increase them both up 1 at a time. So PAS 3, gear 6...Etc. If I want to pedal harder, then you would use PAS 2, gear 6 or 7. a And you would get a better workout. Make sense?

    Hello Tim, I looked through the video time stamps, and I'm not seeing one where to change from 'miles' to 'kilometres' for us Canadian and European Himiway owners? It does state in the manual that came with the bike, that I need to find U-1 (imperial) and U-2 for (metric), in the General Settings, but doesn't state how to get to these U settings. Not sure if I can just keep hitting the 'I' button to continue further, and thought I'd ask, as I'm sure others have possibly looked for this setting as well.

    After the eBike system is switched on, to access general settings menu, hold both the “+” button and the “-” button for 2 s. Get to the “U” screen. U represents unit settings, “1” is mile and “2” is kilometer. To convert unit, press the “+” button or the “-” button to increase or decrease until the desired setting is displayed. To store a changed setting, press the “i” button and then access trip distance clearance settings. To store a changed setting, hold the “i” button for 2 s and then exit general setting

The default value is "2". Use the + or minus key to get to your setting. Once set, press and hold the “i” button to save the setting.
