Himiway sent me their brand new model to give 'er a test. It has a bigger battery, more powerful motor and full suspension. Will it hold up? Check out the bike here: bit.ly/3ekytpq #ad

Big thank you to Himiway for supporting myself and the channel. Last time I was able to test out their Cruiser model and it was one of the most fun videos I've made. I abused that bike about as bad as you could and it made it out alive. Compared to the Cruiser, the Cobra is on a whole different planet though. It has a 20ah battery as opposed to 17.5ah and the motor is 33% more powerful. Not to mention is has full suspension :)
Full specs:
- Hub Motor 1000W mid-drive motor
- Battery 48V 20Ah Samsung/LG lithium battery
- Controller 48V/30A
- Range 60-80 miles
- 26″ x 4.8″ CST fat tires
- Freewheel Shimano 10 speed gear shift system
- 180mm hydraulic brakes
- KMC chain
- Stem Promax MA-400 SSABK
- Crank 170mm forged alloy
- Gearing: Shimano 14-28T
- Front Fork Alloy front suspension fork with lockout and adjustment
- Thumb throttle
- 6061 Aluminum frame

That was a brutal test ride! I’ve been considering buying it, and you just proved to me how solid this thing is built. Yeah, it’s heavy, but I’m 6’-4”, 280lb so I need something to hold up that mass. I’ll never do the type of riding you showed, but if I did I would put some hand guards on to keep my fingers from being smashed on one of those trees. You, and your buddies are good riders, and were fun to watch. Keep up the good work!

Really? Compared to non-powered stuff this thing couldn't move without a charge. He only did 3 things at the park then moved on and the spine was very tame. 45kg? Try and even lift it. Gimmick.

Sorry I'm so late. To be fair I haven't ridden the base Cobra, but the main differences to me are the suspension and motor. The inverted forks are a pretty substantial upgrade, as well as the mid-drive motor. You'll probably be able to go a bit faster on the Pro and be smoother while doing so. Up to you if you think these differences are worth the price difference. Either way I think you'll have a good time :)
