Thanks for all your fab videos -I have got A RAD now and it was def your videos that inspired me the most - you have a great voice too

Great video. Confirmed our decision to go with Himiway even though we didn't see this video first. Just put my Cruiser together last night and tested her out this morning. So far I can say my experience was quite satisfying. First time EBike owner and was pleasantly surprised with the bikes abilities and giddy-up. Looking forward to my wife's Step Through arriving in April.

Thanks for the detailed review! I came very close to ordering a Himiway, but a used BikTrix Juggernaut Classic came along at a price I could not pass up. I'm now considering a Himiway step-through for my wife. All of the reviews have been positive and the price is right.

Been looking at bikes for several months trying to figure out which to get. Been arguing with myself between the Rad Rover and the Himiway. Almost settled on the Rad rover till I saw your last video. That very day I ordered a Himiway step threw. This video makes me really happy with your reviews and my choice. I wanted one to take me fishing down some dirt paths which are several miles long to get to the fishing area. I think it will also be used for running around town and for just getting out there rides.

I’m sold on the Himiway!!!!

Great video, Citizen! If I was in the market for a full size fat tire electric, I would go for that Himiway or Juiced Rip Current S! Rad is great for a 1st time e bike, though! I have the Rad Runner and I love it! Reminds me of the Schwinn Stingray I had as a child. I am 60 now, and I am still a little kid at heart! Keep up the good work!

You've been extremely helpful as far as guiding my decision to upgrade my 2020 Rover, I've gotten the motor, controller, the battery is on backorder, opted for the maxxis minion fbr and fbf. I know you said the battery is the least value, I'm looking for range equitable to power. Thanks for your vids, keep them coming.

Nice video that clarifies the issue I had at first, because I didn’t know it had pedal assist and it drove into my front gate from the lack of experience. Now I’m careful and watch all your videos, thanks for all the tips

I had my heart set on a RadCity since my Evelo OmniWheel died back in July after three years of frequent use, and I was using it for getting to the grocery store, but after seeing these comparisons.. even with the sudden jolts of the motor kicking in, I'm leaning towards the Himiway. Thank you for doing these apple-to-apple comparisons.

Awesome! I think you have helped me make a decision to get the Himiway. I really appreciate all of your excellent videos. Great job. Looking forward to seeing more!

Just purchased my himiway cruiser step through. Should be here some time in November. Excited af

I have the Himiway step through and LOVE this bike. Great acceleration and hill-climbing ability. For $1399, you can't go wrong.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I am the owner of the same ebike.This was not the bike I ordered, but I agreed to keep it.I had it 3 weeks. By the end of the first week I noticed a slight wobble in the rear wheel,. a cricket like squeaky sound coming from the motor area, and the foot of the kickstand fell off. Himiway compensated me for sending the wrong bike, and are in the process of sending me a replacement for the kickstand, and a new motor. This is my first and only ebike. At 65 I have not ridden a bike in about 40 years. I am 6'2 and 210 lbs. This bike is bigger then it appears in video. It was confusing to determine the correct amount of air pressure for these fat tires. The manual stated one thing, the tire stated something else., and my body type was saying something different. The fastest I have gone so far is 24 MPH, without changing factory settings. That is fast enough for me. I have been averaging about ten miles per day on the ebike. When ever coming to a stop its a good habit to set the pedal assist to 0 or 1.The bike is fun to ride and looks good.I am hopeful that my Himiway ebike issues will be resolved.

I've got the standard himiway cruiser and I love it, but you're not wrong its pedal assist is very strong. I've never road another e bike, but I've had my himiway for almost 4 months now and I love it. Everyone that tries it loves and wants to get one too.

Thanks for the great vid....really helps my decision process.

Excellent real-world review 👌🏾💯

Great Video Brian, I bought a Himiway because of your reviews! I have made some changes to my Himiway, like upgrading the brakes to hydraulic Bolton brake conversion, I put larger pedals on, and a different riser and neck, so I would not have to lean as much forward as I have a broken back from VN. I would like to put a color display KT-LCD8H on it. Makes programming easier. Found out by your other review that the Himiway controller is 25 watts not 15 watt like Rad!

Very good video. Lots of great info.

I’d be really interesting if you were to do a range test with the himiway in both throttle only and pedal assist full speed. Something I would watch

Big 👍 ...after what I felt was tons and tons and tons and tons (get the point) 😆 ...of research, I pulled the trigger on two Himiway cruisers for my wife and I. Then low and behold, I found your videos online, which made me even HAPPIER! ...that I made the choice I did. This video was perfect in the information you offered! When I get my bikes, mine will be unlocked, and I'm not sure how I'll end up programming the PAS modes yet. But because of the info you provided here, I'll definitely be powering down my wife's PAS. We're both in our 50's, and although I've been a two wheeler all my life, and currently own a 2019 Energica EVA 107 all electric Italian motorbike that'll take ya from 0-60mph in 2-seconds, ...my wife is a bit more passive. Thanks for both this video, and the Himiway vs Radrover video. They were exactly what I needed to see! Again, I had already ordered the bikes, but your videos definitely make me feel like I couldn't have made a better choice!

Your reviews are Excellent. Very educational with a comfortable presentation

My husband has a Himiway Cruiser and I have a Rad Runner Plus. His bike is definitely faster in taking off so I think your comparison is a fair one. I really like the Rad Runner because it’s easy to get on and off. We go over dirt trails, gravel up and down hills they are both fun ebikes.

Great vid ! keep them coming :)

We actually just bought a Rad Rover because of your awesome reviews! 👍🏻😀 I wonder if the Rad and the Himiway are made in the same plant? They seem to have so many similar elements. 🤔

Awesome review, thanks for the video.

Wickedly helpful comparisons. Thank you very much. Will keep watching. Was thinking Rad but now wonder. The made in China part compared to Rad is troubling as there seems to be some issues with Himiway customer service not to mention long shipping times and unexpected delays. Any experience with these issues that you can comment on? I'm ready to purchase one or the other but am concerned about those things. Thanks

HIMIWAY is the best for the money .....BY FAR!! Great vids man!!

Ordered my Himiway three days ago......can't wait to start riding it. Excited..🤗🤗🤗🤗

Another great video, I'll post it in the Facebook Himiway groups. I have a Himiway Cruiser and just received it 5 days ago. I set the speed limiter to as high as it can go (basically turned it off) and am seeing the same speeds and performanve you are. I should note that many feel the Himiway shows as up to 2 mph over when compared to GPS or roadside speed radar. This may be because the wheel size is 26" but the true size is closer to 28-29 because of the fat tire. People have changed the wheel size settung to 28" but that over compensates in the other direction so most just leave it as is. Like you, I changed the PA % settings because the bike does take off abruptly and feels almost too powerful for the low settings, especially 1 and 2. I set mine to 1=20%, 2=40, 3=60% and so on. This works better for me for a more gradual increase. Finally I would say the bike is delivered as a Class 2 (750W, 20 MPH) but as soon as you increase the speed limiter it will go 30-32 mph in PA 5 or full throttle on a flat surface. At that point it would be a Class 3.

Excellent video comparing the two bikes. Would your findings be the same with the non step through versions of both bikes? Thank you.

I'm sooooo glad I got my Himiway 2 weeks ago!!! It is a POWERFUL bike. Almost too much power when trying to maneuver around a corner/tight space (I had 2 low speed situations - whoops). I suppose I could go into the settings and change the cadence. But then it wouldn't be as FUN - HAHAHA! I would rather get used to it. It's fun going up hill no handed effortlessly!!!

nice comparison, I have the himiway step thru and love it. just wondering, what watch are you wearing?

awesome video! what the rider position like? Can you get a bend in your elbows or are your arms streched out straight? Thanks for any info

Hey citizen the only item I would like to add related to the price difference between the rad and the himi would be the cost to upgrade the rads battery to the larger capacity pack that comes stock on the himi , those larger Samsung are pricey , anyway Great review as always

Really great comparison video! Straight and to the point without the BS. In you opinion do you think you could adjust the pedal assist to make it have a smoother excelleration or will it always just jump off the line?

I’m looking forward for the video that you go through the custom settings

You can adjust your wheel size in the settings to make your speedometer accurate. I put mine on 28-in wheels and it's right on.

Has a 2 years warranty too. Cant go wrong, it has the absolute best one out of any brand.

I like your reviews a lot. I am considering Himiway as second bike. I bought a Ride1up 700 and like the Himiway, it has adjustable percent in each level of pedal assist and hydraulic brakes. I am 180lbs. and it takes me up a 5% grade easily and will gain speed as it goes. The hill you climbed looked fairly steep. Do you know approx. the percent grade? I have my controller set to use 16 amps, it is adjustable up to 22 amps. Thanks for your terrific reviews.

Thanks for the great video.

Man... You're selling that Himiway more all the time. It really does have some serious advantages over the Rover, especially now that Rad has raised the price another hundred dollars. I really would be interested to know if it has a 'true' 750-watt motor (I almost KNOW it does, though, from the higher speed and acceleration it shows...).

What type of bike rack can you purchase to transport 2 of these Himiway Cruisers that can be attached to your car receiver hitch (2 inch)? Thanks and love your videos!

Really awesome good job

Your videos are great! I was interested in the Rover, but now I’m leaning towards the Himiway!

Super helpful. Thanks. By the way,, with such heavy, powerful bikes, do you have any concern about the braking? Also, doesn’t the Rad have regen, and does that affect your thinking at all?

Hi CC, I love your comparaison videos. I'm purchasing an ebike and have been looking at a wide range and for me it comes down to 2. The Himiway stepthru and The Himiway escape. Now Im a personal shopper so I often have alot of extra cargo with me and also I have long distance trips. Im a big girl and would like a confortable ride. I know the escape is not out yet but compared to other moped style ebikes, which one would you recommand oe chose out of the Stepthru and the Escape?

Just bought my 2nd Rover, but this looks good. 660 miles in 2 months on my first Rad. Only issue is breaks get soft very quickly.

Hi. Looking at the comparison the Hemi looks like it could be the bike for me ( I live in a very hilly area ) in the test did you get any feeling for how long each bikes battery would hold out for. The Hemi would have to be my choice as I think I can buy it in the uk but not the Bolton.

Wow. I was about to pull the trigger on the RadRover, but now I'm thinking I'll get the Himiway...

I just bought a Radrover for my wife.... kinda wish I had seen this video first. Might have gone with the Himiway! I am sure the Rover will be a good bike too though. Wondering how they compare for range? By the way.... really great no non-sense and informative video!!! Thank you!

What do you think of the position of the controller box being under the bike. Do you think it needs added protection or moved?

I just got my Rover last month and was looking at the Himiway and almost got one, but I didn't know if it was as easily upgraded as the Rad. Will the Bolton upgrade work on the Himiway? Or is it even necessary? If you had done this review before I made my choice, I would have probably went with the Himiway! Keep the honest videos coming, I enjoy your truth on these ebikes.

MY new Rad should be in a few days cant wait but the Himiway looks good !

I've just put 1100 miles on my Radwagon and quite happy with it. Could it better? Yes, and probably more expensive as well. It works.

Have it set up 0-9 and I never go more that PAS3 bc it just has that much more to give... awesome bike.. glad I went Himi over Rad

You changed the grips to mount the mirrors. Which grip? I was leaning toward a RAD purchase... Thinking

Does the himyway and rad have the same electrical plug connections

Thanks for the video I was curious about the rad rover, I have the himiway and I love it. I have the power assist set at 0-9 and it is great to have so many power assist options. Himiway support will also walk you through changing the modes if additional help is needed.

Any Idea how to keep the front brake from squeaking, its driving me crazy. I have to tap the front brake to stop the squeaking. It's not like a crazy squeaking . just enough to be annoying. This is my first experience with disc brakes. Thanks any help is appreciated

Good tests. If the Hamiway is also more stable (because of the greater power), the brakes are equally good, I would go for the Hamiway...

so i just upgraded the controller and the motor on my rad.... took it out for a ride and everything stopped working.... nothing on the display... seems like i fried the battery.... stock battery... any issues like this ?

I'm in the market for something like this right now. How would you say this compares to Ecotric Hammer?

I agree with the “Power Delivery” comment. I have a 750 M2S fat tire and and 2020 Rad Wagon. The M2S can be a little “unruly” and the Rad Wagon seems nice and smooth from dead stop to top speed. I would compare it to a corvette to a big Cadillac. But I do love the fact I can hit over 30mph on the M2S. Never on the Rad, especially with a kid in the back. Hey Citizen, I’m in Saxapahaw, lets meet up in Durham for a ride sometime.

ah and I was wondering if you have/would make a video on how to best operate the bike e.g. start from PAS 0 at a traffic light or throttle and pedal in PAS 5..and how this affect battery life etc.

I have a RadRover with an upgraded controller and motor. I am very happy wit the acceleration and top speed. I highly recommend this bike.

That power delivery happened to me while I was turning off-roading and I almost lost control, but it can be adjusted.

You should also do a leg accessibility for the step through. This should be done for people with mobility problems

Thanks for your Video 👍

Thank you for the great comparison video! I am not sure if the Himiway have raised their price as well but it seems like the Step Thru is $1,499 instead of $1,399 as you mentioned in your video? Also, I noticed that the full fender is not included in the $1,499 price point. Maybe they have raised the price?

Which one has better suspension off road? I rode one that was clunky on bumps and I'm taking mine down forest roads. The rad rover did good, the folding little one sucked. but wondering about himiway.

whats the resolution on the sat, if more than a meter I would go with the bikes speedometer!.

Suggestion: Lower the power on the first two settings and feather the throttle when first taking off. The start won't be quite so alarming.

How does the Himi compare to your suped up Rad? Great video as always!

I know what you mean about not trying hard pedaling uphill and applying extra force. You don't have to. You can pedal in any gear on PAS5 and it'll get you up the hill with not much pressure being applied to the pedals.

Very helpful, thanks.

So! Which one is you favorite the stock Rad or the Himiway?

TOUGH BIKE TOO... I went over the handlebars and flipped the bike trail riding yesterday (I was wearing gloves and my hand got stuck between the throttle and the break and I hit a big root and rock while trying to break - ugh). The "locked" battery came flying off the bike and thought for sure it was snapped off and broken, however, it just snapped right back in with no issues. Besides some scratches on the battery case, the bike (and me) is fine. I took off the front fender as those hooks on the side stick out too far and have snagged on things on the trail.

Where did you get the mirrors?

Sweet!! I working on getting bike dialed in at around 2600watts hits 33mph in seconds still testing. It's ok but I I think ideal if reversed big motor and back. I have 2 torque arms in front now with new suspension fork idk if the aluminum suspension fork safe with motor. Reading mixed it's ok its not idk. Been testing it's nice so far.

The price did just go up to $1499 unfortunately from $1399 hopefully they give you something for the extra $100 , nice review like to see more wish they would send me a free one to review and test out in N.Y.

Does the Himiway come tubeless ready?

Great Video, Thanks. And I can confirm, Himiways do get up and go.

Crazy question, the headlight on the himi looks cool. I have the radrover and looking to upgrade. Does that headlight seem compatible with your rad?

What app. Are you using for this video?

besides all of this top speed and things of that nature what do you think the quality overall with the parts of the Himiway vs. The rad is thanks brother

How long did it take to ship

What is that gps app you are using

Why didn't you do all the upgrades and make this your bike as opposed to the rad? What would this bike do with a controller upgrade?

How bout a biktrix ultra pro or ultra eagle review

I have found several videos on how to change overall speed but wondering where you found how to adjust each of the levels????

Another awesome compare video. You’re the only one of KZfaq doing these awesome real world compares. This Himiway kicks the Rad. Sorry Rad fanboys!

Most people seem like to be buying the Rad Rover, but I am looking at Himiway. I am over 300 lbs and there are a lot of hills in Maine, so am interested in the extra power. The only thing I don't like is handle bars are more forward and with my back issue might be a problem.

What cell phone holder do you have on the bike? I’m looking to buy a good cell phone holder for my phone

just bought my Himiway today

This bike looks good but is it for me? Maybe to bulky and heavy though I'm also 6'1" like Citizen but about 200lbs. I still can't decide between a few bikes I've been looking at online like the Rad mini/mission/Rhino this Himiway and a few others. I think I would like three ebikes like a folder, a fat cruiser and an everyday around town like the Rad Mission but 3 is a bit OCD (which I have also so a Mountain bike too so that's 4 so far lol) maybe two but which 2! Thinking the Rad Mini & Mission or just the Himiway as I already have 2 normal Hybrid Road bikes but thinking of getting rid of those for ebikes. There's just not one solution that hits me as that's it, that's the one I need for what I want which is mainly leisure riding on big or small hilly roads and fairly smooth tracks & around town. Need lights, mud guards and stand so at least I know that much. Maybe get the Rad Mission to replace my everyday hybrid and see where I go from there if needed and later add a Himiway or Rad Mini (uses the same battery type as the Mission which is useful). Decisions ????????? Just go for the Himiway???????????? but is it practical for an everyday bike which is what I need as no other transport and no shed/garage so it's going to take up a large part of my living room but might squeeze into the hallway? nowadays when I cycle on my normal everyday hybrid which i do regularly then I really do start to get fatigued after a while (age 50+) and it is painful & draining so I need an ebike. Might delete this post later when I realise it's such a long waffle but it is my situation at present as I search for the, or a, solution. I think Rad Mission to start but this Himiway is very tempting and I can get it in the UK shipped from Germany. Would the Himiway basically be a lot more fun than the Rad Mission but still everyday practical and I'm not sure it would. Could Citizen by any chance do a comparison vid between these two bikes or types to answer why a person would choose one or the other. Are there any videos of why a fat bike is so appealing over other bikes? Must look that up. I think the Mission lacks gears is the main issue so perhaps they just need a geared version or maybe it's great as is with the general use 50-16 gearing?

Sorry about previous comment as the single drivetrain was a different model Rad than the one you reviewed. My error 👍

I've put the Himiway bike through the paces for a few hundred miles and would like to offer my feedback. I've had several electric bikes previous to Himiway and have had to modify all of them to fit my needs. I ride mostly on back country dirt roads, logging roads, and forest trails. I've put 25,000+ miles or so on e bikes over the past 10 years. Maybe 5 - 10 % of that has been extreme conditions with lots of gravel, rocks, ruts, potholes, mud, and steep curvy narrow paths. I purchased the Himiway without trying it based on specs, but mostly because of testimonials, which in hindsight, I realized are mostly from casual and inexperienced e-bikers. This bike is best for predictable conditions. It's probably fabulous for beach riding. I don't recommend it for rough terrain. It's a very heavy bike that requires the assist being on to use the throttle. That means that when you start to peddle and are pointed toward a rock or hole, the bike lunges forward. Obstacles are hard to avoid. I'm glad Himiway sent me the wrong bike. I ordered the black men's bike and received a white step through. I've had to plant my feet firmly on the ground to avoid obstacles several times. I felt frustrated that I received the bike almost a month later than expected. On the whole, the bike is well designed and easily put together. The threads on the leftt pedal arrived squashed at the end, but I ground them down and installed the pedal. I was pleased to see that Himiway quickly sent a replacement. Another small problem I’ve had is the kickstand loosens up over rough terrain and rattles until I tighten it up again. I love the compact and nifty little tool kit provided my Himiway. The 48V 17.5 amp battery is a plus, though I'm skeptical about Himiway’s recommendation to leave it fully charged, when every battery spokesman says it will have a longer life if I don't. I have a 48 volt 15 amp battery on my BionX bike with a 1,000 watt motor. I expected to get better mileage with Himiway, but because the BionX charges while coasting and braking, I get similar mileage. BionX leaves the Himiway in the dust when climbing a steep hill, but mainly because I'm peddling twice as fast on the Himiway at 20 mph as I am on the other at 30mph. I'm going to look into modifying the gearing and also into the possibility of charging the battery on the go. After my first ride, I instantly upgraded by installing a water bottle, small saddle bag, and gel seat cover. I began by leaving the bike in 7th gear (for 20 miles) while using the motor to maintain speed. I tried shifting gears and using the motor as little as possible for the next 20 miles. I'm using a combo now. The two main changes I'm making to the bike at the moment are installing a 5" tire on the front for rocks, potholes, and snow and modifying the gearing by replacing the set of seven gears with a higher and lower ratio set, or installing three front gears and derailleur with the current size as the middle gear. I'll keep you updated and share my successes and failures with you. thanks, mark

Interesting

Do a comparison between a Radcity4 and a himiway of the same type I’m curious how they’d compare

And which is more quiet?
