Ive had my zebra for a week and came back looking for this video for the handlebar mods. Thanks for all the great info. Love my zebra. First ebike.

I like your upgrades and have been torn between this Cobra and the Wired bike. I've ridden the Cobra at a local dealer that has about 6 different brands of bikes. He's not familiar with the Wired bike but he really likes all of the Himiway line and especially the Cobra. Also told me they rarely come back in the shop for service issues which is making me lean towards the Cobra. Will continue to follow your channel because your reviews are very detailed and informative.

I swapped out the front fork on my cobra w/ a Mastadon pro, huge improvement and well worth the money. A shorter stem is also on my list of upgrade, as well as wider bars, dropper seat post/seat, and I want to go to a 10 speed.

Most excellent content! Pacing, cadence, edit , flow and information is the WEB's best! Thanx again Brian for all you do. We bought one Ariel Rider, and 2 Himi Cruisers based uponyour videos. Hope the "sponsors" see this and get IT! Over the Holidays Juiced of San Diego wqs running a special Ripped Racer for 999.00 and you know I had to get the larger battery and capacity for 1,200. HIViZ Yellow. Only one mechanical gear and the best feature is the "off-road-Race" mode it will "tickle" 30 mph. If pedaling, and only for your legs near the ghosting limits. Hard tail and front no suspension. Stripped down no fenders, but sold as Category 3. With your knowledge yo have passed to me. will be adding "things" to not break my warranty. Rattan folding 750 LF experimental work with battery blender TODAY! RIDE ON, where is the PATREON? 3 hondos a burnin'.

I'm actually fully addicted to you're channel. Hey from the UK 🇬🇧

Great video! As a new Cobra owner and being tall, I've looked for different options to increase rider height. This gives me something to think about. I would have loved to see the install process step by step.

I can only imagine the comfortable feeling of those tsunamis, or the Cobras tires. I have 3” tires, and they are more than enough.

I have to say I'm in agreement with everything you say. It's hard to make up my mind which I prefer. Both are nice!

I really like your handlebar upgrade so I used your link and did the same thing to my Hovsco alpha highstep. Thx!

Bike designers need to stop making these handlebars in the sport style, everyone I have ever talked with irl wants what u did, 95% of ppl want to ride with good posture

Would of liked to hear about the suspension" rebound, dampening, lock out adjustability , since most are just fool suspension, not full suspension, and if you're paying more $$ for suspension

Love the grips and the plug bro. Thanks

Very nice upgrades. I think the Zebra for me.

Love your videos man super helpful.

the problem with the speed is more depending on load weight, windy resistance, friction, resistance, steepness, temperatures, driving skills and settings - not only a full battery. Based on E-mobility it is all relative. Perhaps you should try to hit top speed adding more Volts. That's what I did and experienced well switching from 60 to 72V and 50A on my electric motorcycle.

It looks like a carbon fiber wrap to me if there is such a thing lol or a wrap that's supposed to look like carbon fiber. Man I like your video's. You have taught me so much in the way of electric bikes.👍👍

Google Himiway Cobra Rear Rack, there is one for the Cobra. It uses the 4 mounting points on the top of the swing-arm.

I agree with all your changes.

My power in my apartment was out for 24 hours.. I used the AR Kepler USB port to charge my phone 😂.. Also my headlight was useful as a nice lamp in my living room.

I'm going to have to do the handlebars at some point . I'm 6"2' with a bad back so hoping to relieve some pain.

Good choices all!

Both look awesome but I would love the rear suspension

Have U tried a handlebar spring suspension on any of U'r E-bikes ? Mounts in the stem riser...I love suspension seats w/ spring inside the metal tube so what U think ?

Can I see what the cobra a d the wicked look like together like that please. And I really like your videos.keep it up

Love the videos, the review actually talked me into going ahead and getting this bike. Question though, with the different screen, does the headlight still work? Also, what range drop do you get with that top speed being raised?

Looks great and way more comfortable ! Time to remove those ugly wheel reflectors .

I'm the same don't like being bent over" always put 3,4 in riser bars on mountain bikes, to get rid that road bike feel" to some it might look funny" oh well" definitely better than extending the gooseneckprobably comes with a certain amount of flex reviews are so helpful to determine your best options for your dollar so there's no disappointments and should have woulda coulda waited for this other model to come out

Can you explain how to install the right side twist throttle. Is it an easy process. If you could explain it the best you can. Wish there was a step by step video on the install. Pretty much I want all of your upgrades but not sure how to do the install process correctly. Thanks in advance!

Waiting for the Cobra on order from a local bike shop, definitely going to order that twist throttle and grips and display screen once I get it. The thumb throttle on the left side makes zero freakin' sense to me.

You're likely seeing only 28mph partially due to those 4.9 tires. Definitely increases rolling resistance. Ive been experimenting with different tires and pressures, currently running 3.5 veetires. Man, what a difference. These tires are so much faster and smoother. The sidewall pressure says 30psi, but I'm running 35 with no problem. Super grippy tread, too. Acceleration is way quicker also. The nice thing is I can still hit mild trails and light off road with these, so I'm not limited to pavement. One of the best upgrades I've done. I already had this display, but with these slightly narrower tires, I can hit those higher speeds for longer and get a bit longer battery life. I'm done with knobby fat tires, at least on this bike. I'll keep them for wintering and off-roading though.

Really considering getting this now it's available for order in the uk but really need the rack for work so thinking the zebra would be the better choice. Don't think we can get the screen you use over here but uk is 15.5mph anyway and i think you can still unlock it like you did without the screen upgrade.

Great review like always. Is there an adjustment for wheel size? Can you do a GPS app on your phone? Chinese electronics usually exaggerate 2-3 MPH from my experience.

Thinking of ordering the Cobra...are you still a fan?

The Grey paint with fenders and rack would look better on the cobra, IMO.

I actually dropped some width on tires and got 4 mph on top" less rolling resistance,

With the new display you are able to go 28 with the throttle. Now with pedal assit all the way up can you pedal faster than 28mph?

I added a rack to my Cobra Pro but only use it for long cruiser rides.

Didn't see a link for the squishy seat. What brand and model? Thanks for another great video!

Which display do you prefer the kd986 or the kd718?

awesome looking

Anything like this in 52v?

Would the original thumb throttle still work on the kd986?

the zebra looks more motorcycle like with the fenders & hard tail

I bought the same display, How do you turn on the headlight?

Do you know of a KD display that would work on a Magicycle Ocelot? I tried my 718 and only get an error code 20😮

What size handle bars did you get the 720mm or 780mm? Thanks

I just ordered that display which I'm waiting to receive and the pdf manual was sent with the receipt. In the manual, it says the max setting is 25mph. The reason why I ordered this was to increase the top speed like you. I really hope this is untrue, but the manual clearly states that.

Zebra for me... more versatile and cheaper too.... 😊

So the throttle is just a direct swap out plug & play?

Considering an e-bike for hunting. So many players in the game. Whats your thought on the Eunorau brand in comparison, specifically the Specter S or ST?

I'm surprised you don't have phone mount then you could charge phone as riding. If I missed it what is your average ride, I think you brought it up in last video most people 7- 10 mile rides. Great suggestions on how to upgrade bikes. I like the zebra over cobra, I like rack and fenders. What is your stance on Tannus Armor. With all miles you have ridden how many flat tires have you had. Love the organization in your garage.

I’m getting one. Hardest part is choosing the best one for me. This channel helps, thanks. There’s some contradictions out there…you can’t have a throttle with a center motor, only a rear hub motor? True or false? Why do I need such fat tires? I’m a pavement / packers gravel/grass trail rider….do I really need those giant tires? Also, I like the idea of buying a bike big name brand nike like trek (for service /parts, etc) but the big name brands do not sell Class II bikes (no throttle) and I don’t always want to pedal. So confusing. Any advice is appreciated (from anyone). I love the Himiway. And the one without rear suspension might be a good fit for me. But cost isn’t an issue..if we were talking Lamborghini’s maybe….hahaha….I love a hike called Sur Ron but it’s really a super light trail bike….and no pedals so cops could give me a hard time. Anyway….Specialized makes a bike called a S-Works Turbo Levo Pricey (15,000) but maybe it’s “The One”?

re Shorter Stem: the one you used is like $9 bucks vs other options in the $50 range... are they more $$ because theyre just lighter or any benefits one might want to spend the extra for..? Thanks!!!

Which seat is it?

I really like Dakota and I really like the wicked but between those 2 I just don't know which one I would get maybe you could do a comparison I would love that thank you so much

Did you have to lenghten the cables? They look longer on the modded bike.

The display cost $135 FYI. Not worth it to go 4 miles faster. IMHO.

KD786!

Does the Cobra have a lock out on the rear shock, like the front fork.

hello, I have a question maybe someone can answer me. can you add a 3speed stroke on a himiway cobra pro

being a full suspension bike, I don't see the point of having a 4 plus inch tire. I wonder if one can swap them for something narrower like a 3in or a 2.6 in wide tire.

What display is better? Kd718 or kd986? Whats the difference? Looks like the kd718 unlocks the top speed to 36mph and kd986 only unlocks to 32mph?

Velotric Nomad will the display work on it

Dose the new display change the distance the bike can travel

The Zebra is better, less is more, if you keep your tire pressure between 10 and 14LB there's not much of a difference in ride quality. The zebra looks like it would be lighter, faster, more nimble, better range. Little easier to control because of the weight, less maintenance. With only a Fork and derailleur upgrade your good to go.

Can you swap out the display on the escape to hit 30mph…? My caps @ 25😢

Hi Citizen, I bought the quarter twist throttle. It came twisting the wrong way (forward) for the right handle bar. There must be a way to make it work for the right handle bar? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Will these fit the cruiser .

I am on the fence deciding between Himiway, Eahora XC300, and Aventure2. Can you remove the limit on the Aventure 2? Thanks!

I like that bike! I'm curious, does the motor say RM G062.750? Or RM G062.1000? I'd be interested to know the full motor stamping, like for example on my bafang hub its RM.G062.1000.DC (6). Those stampings indicate whether they use the 750W motor or the 1000W motor. I can't tell from their marketing which version they are using- it says 750W in some areas, but then also says upgraded motor 1000w. I'm also kind of curious what the motor connector, and the display connector look like. Is that display CANBUS or UART?

Will the same display increase the speed of my Cobra Pro?

Hi Citizen, got in my right hand half twist throttle. Only problem now is that it has a female plug. Argh! Do you have a link that will point me to the right hand throttle with a male plug. Thank you!

Would the KD986 Display be compatible with Aventon Aventure ?

Can you add that display to any controller or is it only compatible with Himiway? I have a Magnum UI6 and would love a different screen.

I have the cyrusher XF800 ,how do I find out if this screen is compatible?

did you ever play with the speed on the Fabulous bike you have ??

Does the cobra pro come with a shift sensor if not could 1 be add

does it work with the KD718 Key Disp ? Thank You 🙂

The Zebra looks better. If you really want to go crazy just out a suspension seat post.

How tall you and how much do you weigh?

With a thumb throttle you can’t downshift without letting off the throttle, that’s why I don’t like

Change your wheel size to 16 it will go 31 and show 15 😊

I hope you never take that bike on a bike path because everyone will hate you and call the cops

+like +sub but i really think that your intro is way too OG, it was only cool back in 2008, we are reaching 2024! just stop with the intros

I need bicycle bra
