Another helpful thing to do is to take the cover off your controller and seal around it with some silicone because if the inside gets wet it can mess everything up and it's located where lots of water will hit it if you ride through water or in the rain .

Good tip. I am gonna put a guard over it as well to deflect water and protect the cables under the frame. The factory 1 looks flimsy so I may make my own.

That intro made me howl, literally had them sitting on the counter top just like that wondering what the heck they could be for 20 minutes, great video

I got my Himiway like a week and a half ago and I saw those two brackets that you showed with my stuff and I had no clue what they were for now I do thank you I thought the one large bracket was somehow a water bottle holder that you attached to the front of the bike but now I know better thank you

Great video. .I'm glad to know what those weird brackets are.

Great video - I laughed at first because you showed the l bracket and the guard. Which me and my husband said the exact thing you did 🤣. What the heck is this for. Yes we did eventually figure it out but we did not figure it out for the light L-bracket and I have no idea here it is. 🤦🏻‍♀️. Tu it’s easy enough to get an l bracket now that I know what it is for- and yes it will help the light being able to raise it up so it won’t hit the fender. Thank you

Hay man how are you im so excited to have you as my go to guide person thank you so much for the tips I just got my ebike today from FedEx santa 🎅 lol 😆 I will keep you for my go to guide your the man

Great tips. On my Escape I had to cover the dumb website graphics with black tape, they're painted on.

Great video. Some very interesting tips that are useful for many Himiway e-bikes. I have the Big Dog. Thanks 19:29

The fork adjustments are Left side - stiffens the spring. A heavier person needs a stiffer spring so the fork doesn't bottom out. Where as that setting would be stiff and harsh for a light person. Right side - dampening adjustment. It controls how easy it is for the fork to go up and down. If you turn it all the way it stiffens it to the point of being solid. Which would be good if you only use it on smooth pavement for more control.

This is correct. also that little L bracket is not meant for the headlight. it’s just a spare front fender strut mount bracket. it says so in the himiway assembly video.

Thank you

Thank you. Not even the bike shop knew what those were. I took that front fender off. Do you have Ped assist for stairs and hills video?

Good video thanks

Yes the electrical cable connectors are very, very tight. You absolutely DO NOT NEED TO USE PLIERS OR VISE GRIPS ON THEM. All you need to do to get the electrical cable connections apart is to use a heat gun, or even a hair dryer and heat up the connection a bit to soften the rubber a little and they come right apart easily. If you use a real heat gun just heat up the connections for a few seconds so no marks from pliers.....

Seems like I only got one long screw for the headlight. Did yours come with two? Can't find a way to use the bracket.

Hey, great video. I’ve got a hemiway cruiser on its way right now and while watching yiour video, I noticed that you have a controller guard on your bike and I was wondering where you got it cuz I’d like to get one for mine as well. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Around 2 minutes is when he covers the guard for the controller. You can find it in the description

It's not a true warranty. They mail parts. Sometimes impossible for a person to install.

Thank you for the tips. Do you find the cloud9 seat less stressful than the stock seat?

@E-Ryders

It's more of a personal preference cause I'm a bigger guy and the Cloud9 seat is wider, not to mention the seat comes with suspension springs. The stock seat is ideal for average sized folks who's butts are used to riding a bike.....lol.

Someone the other day told me these things can't handle single track mountain bike trails with steep incline's, I found that very surprising because my fat tire ebike destroys steep inclines on a mountain bike trail and it has considerably less power.

Stay tuned for an Ultimate accesories video that will shed some light on that.

I just pre ordered, purchased a new Zebra, 2022 Himiway Ebike. In my instruction manual it says I should charge every time after use of my bike, no matter how less power I used. So now I'm wondering what to do. Shall I trust the owner's manual for Himiway Zebra 2022, or what do I do? The reasons given were to extend battery life. Sir I trust you or may be battery instructions have change and updated recently. At this point I will be calling Himiway to see what I should do. Sir I appreciate what YOU DO TO HELP GUYS LIKE ME. Thank You...

The make a pun on Earnest Hemmingway's name in their advertising, so one might assume it's pronounced similarly.

I never shift my bike out of 7th gear, over 15 mpg even 7th isn’t very useful.

Just got the Himiway zebra and the manual says to fully charge it after each use and that it has no effect on battery life.

I saw this too and it didn't sound right, compared to all other batteries. Like you probably wouldn't charge your phone if it was 90%. I go for short rides so I'm going to let mine drain down before I charge.

Nice tip on separating the connectors. It's one of those things that no one bothers to tell you.

"No one bothers to tell you about," because it's bad advice. This is not good for the cable's longevity.

Had so much trouble with Himiway. They tried to replace my faulty motor 3 times instead of letting me ship the bike back for a replacement. Took 6 months and I had to take it to a mechanic to replace. Then, still didn’t work and they wanted me to buy another one and return the old one before they would send me a new one. I think they’re customer service is in China? Just get something local because Himiway doesn’t know how to fix their problems.

I am bummed out that my Hemiway Cruiser died with a hundred easy miles on it. Luckily I bought from a brick and morter company here in the states. Both the control module and motor where bad. Traded it in on another brand and have had zero problems. Hemiway really seem to be hit and miss on their bikes. It was awesome while it was running

after one year with the cruiser and tons of problems i have another great tip for you dont buy this thing 😅
