Himiway D5 (Zebra) | Premium All-terrain Electric Fat Bike

I've had this ebike now for over 4 months, about 400 miles for town/city riding. I weigh 16 stone and the battery lasts about 45 miles, minimum 40ish it depends how often you brake and how much of your leg strength you put into it, including tyre pressure and how much bag weight you're carrying. The advertised 80 miles must be the utmost best possible scenario; a slim fit person carrying no bags, wearing tight-cycling clothes with tyres fully inflated and on a dry flat road with no braking and with the wind behind you.
Assembly was easier than I expected yet definitely easier with a helping hand! it came with a German manual so I had to download the English version to my phone so I could read what to do.

The brakes were great at first they felt solid and everything but they soon started screeching and light grinding, I took it to a local bike shop who said in their opinion these brakes aren't designed to be used with such heavy bikes, so I'll probably upgrade them later this year or next. I wouldn't dare bother risking removing the 15mph limiter with these brakes.
The USB charging port is quite weak, my action camera Insta360 Ace Pro uses 1.7A of power while recording and after about 3.5 hours its battery died, I've tried multiple USB cable/adapter types, I'm an electrician so I've got an idea how these things work. So the USB port charges at about 1 Amp which is weak nowadays.

Other than that though, I proper love this ebike! The suspension is superb, the gear changes work spot on but I wish there were more higher gears for faster speeds. The legal 15.5mph speed limit is far too slow on the slight uphill long single/dual carriageways especially on 40mph limits during rush hour traffic it's an absolute nightmare being stuck at 15mph as your legs soon run out of energy trying to push that heavy bike + bags.
Peddling on a steep uphill is a challenge on the lowest gear - if only the motor was rated at 750 watts like the US version instead of this UK 250w then that might be better.
Everywhere I go I regularly get people checking it out and some people enquire about it and ebikes in general.

I love this bike, great in every way. Himiway have done a great job

I bought this bike to do food deliveries, it’s very good and handles weight and speed very well, however the 80 miles advertised is a bit of a stretch. I’d say it’s good for just a little under that maybe 38 miles with reasonable hills, 45 miles on smooth trails. But very good bike and gets a lot of looks so be sure to get a heavy duty lock

Before I bought a Himiway Zebra I did a concentrated research on the internet. What sold me the Himiway Zebra was the You Tubers give the Himiway brand fantastic support and advice.
The ordering and delivery process from Himiway UK was easy and effective.
All company promises honoured.
When I built the bike nearly all my expectations were satisfied.
I was disappointed to discover I had bought an old model 2022 with the old LCD display. This was not advised at the time of purchase.
The power, range and ride for a ebike are superb.
Himiway support works well for me. All my enquiries were answered in twenty four hours.
My rating for Himiway UK product and sevice is 10 out of 10.

Hi Himiway, is there anyway you can set me up with a used bike so I can work deliveroo and ubereats? Have been unemployed since August and looking for jobs but to no avail.
Will purchase the bike from you once I make up its value. Anything to help me get on my feet and have an income again.
Regards

The bike arrived safely, delayed a couple of days by the recent bad weather.
I assembled the bike on quite a chilly morning outside due to the size of the box.
Everything went well, I had a bit of confusion with the front disk brakes, I was expecting to see a red spacer to remove from the pads but the one I eventually saw it was black, however once I was certain about it I removed it easily.
I have only ridden about 20 miles so far due to the cold wet weather but I can honestly say I am really impressed with the build quality and performance.
I have not cycled for a few years and found the bike to be almost motor cycle size but I absolutely love it so far! The area where I live is fairly flat but the local hills I have ridden up have been very easy and exhilarating, so much freedom and lack of effort compared with normal cycling. I like having the ability to tweak the peddle assist to how I want it to perform. I have it set to 0-9 initially but there is plenty of scope to get it exactly how I want it to perform.
All in all I am very happy with first E-bike and pleased that Himiway have produced such a fine product and with a two year warranty.

I haven’t had a proper ride yet as the weather is poor.
I did report my struggle to put the Zebra together because the instruction manual is in German !!??
Lots of help on the internet saved me.
I also struggle with the weight.
So I bought a folding ramp to help get up and down my door steps. I have to keep the bike inside.
I’m an old dodderer at 75 but should be okay.
The bike itself is a beauty. It’s so well made and looks great.
I’m looking forward to having a good session along the Greenway which is only a minute away.
Cheers 👋

nearly 4 weeks to deliver my bike but now that i have it i love it i use it every day to go to and from my work and for pleasure on my days off .so many comments on it from people its amazing lol .thanks again .....ray

This is so much funny, I should have brought this bike last year.
The range is what you say,which is great & It's so comfortable. So we'll built. Well done would recommend this bike to everyone 😁

Amazing bike with high quality materials and overall build, battery lasts very long but the fenders and kick down thing to hold the bike up screws all come loose during riding
