The tiny and powerful bell is the thing that really makes this ebike stand out from the rest, really dope!
The Bell was purchased separately and there is a link in the video description for it.
Great review!!! After watching all of your videos and others on TH-cam I purchased the Vitilan i7 Pro. The one I received was even more powerful with additional options. That bike is a beast. And you’re correct. It definitely does not disappoint. The power the speed which rather shocked me that it would go that fast, you know what I’m talking about, lol. Thanks for sharing and really enjoy all your videos. Keep up the great work Jeremiah. 😊😊😊
I just got back from my maiden voyage on this bike. I bought it from Himiway direct and it took only like 5 days to receive it from CA. Was easy AF to assemble, although I am mechanically inclined both mentally and physically plus a ton of tools. But what’s nice is you don’t need any mechanical knowledge and they give you ALL the tools you will need to set assemble it and set this up according to your dimensions. That’s a nice touch. And a decent baseball cap. I actually used and like the rear light. It’s decent quality and bright enough when I go onto a roadway at night it seems. I think that is also a nice way to complete the package for any type of riding scenario. They have you covered. I took your advice and setup the software to increase my speed after I took it around the block on factory settings first. And man o man does this thing hum 😎! The hype is real, if you can afford it and your in the market, I can’t see how someone would be disappointed. Nice write up man, I’ll be watching AND riding 💪🏻💪🏻🇺🇸
You'd expect fenders for $4K ! , but equally - I gotta say I'd love that bike
The only Himiway video I watched from the beginning to the end. Excellent. I might get one now.
Thank you.
I just bought my first ebike, its got dual suspension, big headlight, hydraulic brakes, and a 1300 watt hubdrive motor. I put 30 miles a day on it, 700 miles in just a month, throttle only. It cost around $1500, its called an ActBest Pioneer. It works for me. I would recommend it to anyone who is skeptical about thos technology. It tops out at 38 mph, but likes 30 all day.
Looks very similar to the Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra FS Pro, but Biktrix also offers a dual battery configuration for extended range. I currently own a 750w rear hub drive, which works well enough for groomed trails, but for true off road, single track, and steep hills bikes like this would be a better choice and will certainly be my next bike.
P
You are right about the Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra FS Pro 3. Interestingly, there is also Eunorau Specter S 2023 that is absolutely identical to the Biktrix.
Prices are definitely coming down on powerful e-bikes. The Himiway is down to $2,319 with code Himiway80. I went with the Keteles K800, dual 1000w motors, 48v23a battery, hydraulic brakes, fenders, lights, rear rack for $1,200. Great bike that does 35mph all day long and has plenty of climbing ability. I believe it’s the same bike as the Philodo, Senada, Lanshanchu and SMLRO - all of which are $1,050 to $1,300 now.
I don't know if it has been mentioned yet, but when this came out last year, I was debating between this one and the Eunorau Specter S. They have almost identical specs, the Specter was $3799, and on black Friday I got it for 15 percent off. But what made me get that over the himiway, was because there was a Eunorau dealer close to me, so I went with him. Love the bike
Do not buy any Himiway products. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. First of all, I couldn’t find a repair shop that would be willing to do warranty work because “ Himiway doesn’t pay their bills” I finally found a dealer that would work on my Cruiser, but wouldn’t wait for reimbursement from Himiway because they don’t pay. After speaking with Himiway they told me to go ahead and pay for the repairs. I did which was around 150 bucks. Here I am months later and still no refund. Email after email and excuse after excuse. Don’t do business with Himiway, I’m in Cali.
*Update* Himiway has since refunded my money. It took several months, but I got it.
I built a custom E mountain bike with Bafang ultramax motor, also helped a German company, Innotrace, develop and fine-tune an amazing controller. Not only puts out over 2500 W with a 52 V battery, somehow, the range is better than the stock controller. I can send you pictures of what I built, can’t upload them on your TH-cam channel, but think you would be interested. I’ve ridden/raced dirt bikes for over 50 years now, so know what I am doing when it comes to off road.
Sweet. Do you have Instagram? You can send the pics on there.
I was looking for a replacement for my 2016 Radrover. Found a local dealer out of state for a Cobra Pro test ride and purchased it after 30 min ride with the shop owner. An improvement over my Radrover in every single category.
That’s awesome to hear! Enjoy!
Just had a friend get one used.... I don't know why the guy sold it, but it is of superb qaulity...and runs great...
Another great review !! Bike needs more power to get it up that hill!!! Big uppp to your son for helping🏆🏆🏆
Love your detailed demo's. Also love to see your son has the cool Lectric XP Lite!!!
The bike you can't get unless you preorder it.
Oh man, what a great deal! in 5 months you may get one! :D
Somethign goes wrong with the bike, that'll be another 5!
the biktrix juggernaut xd duo has a 40mph dual drive but it costs 6k
I think it's 2,000 watts of power and 300nm of torque... it's wild
and it doesn't look as cool but I need a bike where you can add a second battery to more range price isn't important I just want the specs I want and the look that's killer
this bike is pretty cool
I have the same bike with the Jeep name on it and a Rock Shox rear shock with an inverted front fork with similar amount of travel. The motor is 1000 watts with 160 nm of torque but is limited to 20mph.
The Frey Beast and Frey AM1000 V6 are the best bang for buck Ebike, on paper its better than $10k ebikes. No one has really done reviews on them in the West, hint hint 8)
Nice review! I am definitely interested in a Cobra Pro. Btw, you are the only reviewer that got this bike up to 30-31mph. 👍🏼
Good luck finding a bike shop to work on these internet bikes when something goes wrong. Ordering parts, pray for tech support if they even have a phone number
Nireeka is the best by far in design and over all options but this is nice! Nothing catches the eye like the Nireeka design.. they look amazinggg
Nice video ! When we get to Bella Vista AR I am going to get a Cobra. I currently ride a conversion Trek bike with BLDC 1000w motor with a 48watt controller and a SO39-3 14 amp hour battery. This thing will get me up to 32 mph, all throttle and no peddling.
You are really thorough in your reviews which is helpful for making buying decisions sight unseen. Thanks for sharing.
Thank You Allen. Happy to have helped!
I appreciate plus love my New EVELO DELTA X + BURLEY COHO XC Cargo One-Wheel Trailer. Included Full Fenders w/Mudflap’s, Rear Cargo Rack. Hardwired Headlight & Active Brake Light. Featuring The CVT, still mind blowing.
Try Gunai MX25 2000w, 25ah lithium battery, it cost 2k $!!
Looking forward to this. I almost ordered one this past summer I saw it at the Electrified America event. I got a Magnum Ranger instead... Feeling regret.
Almost afraid to watch this video.
Lol let me know what you think after you watch it. how do you like the magnum ranger?
@@JeremiahMcintosh great review. I'm conflicted. The folks from Magnum gave me a great deal at the event selling me the Ranger for $1800 with a secondary charger for use at the office. I still think I want the himiway
That bike is really nice. Good for someone out near the country roads and trails for sure..👍 Glad you found how to bump up top speed. I was disappointed at 23mph. Nice review. Beast up hills!
Do a little research on the speed set up and you won’t be disappointed. Dont forget to get a helmet.
I think citizencycle said he went ahead and bought an aftermarket display that took off that limiter built into the display . his was on a hub motor model though.
Great video, I just took my new Cobra Pro out yesterday. I was locked out at 23 mph until I went into settings and maxed out the speed I hit 26 MPH on Sport on a flat away with pedaling
So how you like it?
If you received an email from someone using my profile picture do not reply it is a scammer trying to get info from you
That seems slow..you should hit over 30mph but I don’t know what gear ratios it has
I need to start an ebike review channel just to get free ebikes
If you put hard work and dedication into it anything is possible! Good luck.
Excellent review! My 2016 Radrover is starting to show its age. Might get this for more serious off road and use my Rad for paved roads. Thanks.
Thanks for the review and all the info on tidbits that we should keep an eye out for if we picked up this bike
Oh.. I forgot to mention a bike that might be better for less. The Nireeka Revenant with ABS and a 1000 watt Bafang. Customizable for battery suspension..ABS and much more .. Carbon fiber etc.. Goes 35mph. No not the same torque as the mid drive but should do most all you did on the Himiway.
I think the Yotobike is one of the only other bikes with 4.8inch tires. My only issue is their weight lol, but they're awesome
Wow this bike is a beauty. Out of my price range but maybe one day.
Excellent review Jeremiah. Thats a pretty bad ass bike. Happy Holidays!
Thank you Bruce! Happy holidays to you and your family as well!
nice ebike not street leagel were i live until they remove the 750 max ebike wattage
4k😬😬😬😬🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 thats nuts
You can unlock those bikes I have a regular cobra that I have unlocked and it goes 25 for the max it can take
My Vado was $4k surly skid loader was about $4200. Just bought this at $4k. Seems like a sweet spot.
Wow awsome bike Jeremiah great review 👍 hey you betterbe paying your son ( camera man/producer) big money 💰 to help you🤣🤣
Nireeka Prime. or Biktrix juggernaut Ultra pro... similar ...the problem is the weight.. have Juggernaut.. carbon frames are the way forward..
You can't compare it to a Specialized. Thats just two pair of shoes. The Specialized bikes are made for going down the mountain and being as agile as you can with an e-bike. The components of the supension doesn't meet the price of the bike. It's the same with the rest of the bike. This would be ok for 2999€, but for 3999€ you get quality bikes from well known manufactures.
And here comes the point, bikes like this need more maintenance. At first everything is so nice and you're happy, but if these bikes getting older, they get loose. With a good manufacture you get an very well engeneered frame. This Himiway is just a something from a company that is just something. I would never ever buy a fullsupension bike from a company like this. They could put this motor, drivetrain and brakes in a Zebra and you're getting a way better bike.
Great bike for off-roading! The speed is a little low, but well done and you've found a solution!
Thank You. 30mph is plenty fast enough for me off-road lol.
There is one bike I came by that looks really interesting for a little less, looks like it might be better on Trails despite being only 500 watts. The Eahora Ace 500 W mid drive but full suspension, 27.5 plus size tires. You never know with some of the Amazon bikes there's a couple hidden gems.
Wow very nice bike and definitely looks like a fun ride.
There is a bike with front and back suspension, 1000w mid drive motor, fat tires, hydraulic brakes, 37mph, weighs 30kg and hidden battery all for $1884. This is not quite as big as the cobra but more convenient. I know you like your folding 20 inch wheels JD so I think you should take a look at the Accolmile Rhino. The battery isn't as big at 16.5ah but for the price you can't really moan. I feel with the smaller wheels and customisable BBSHD motor it will beat the Cobra for hill climb.
Hmm interesting 🤔…. I have never heard of them but just went to their website to check out the specs and suspension is definitely nowhere near the cobra and a little concerned with how it says Panasonic Cells in the description but on the battery specs description it says Chinese high quality but only lists 500 recharge cycles. Thank you for the information thought i’m going to keep my eye out for a review of it but didn’t really see anything on TH-cam yet about it other than a short clip they posted two years ago.
Be interesting if in 2023 there will be a bike with the CYC X1 Pro motors. I think in terms of hill climbing and speed you will be pushed to match the performance.
If you received an email from someone using my profile picture do not reply it is a scammer trying to get info from you
We just picked up an FLX Step Through 2.0 it’s got the Bafang M 600 and it’s supposed to have Eco and Sport we think. But right now it’s not showing either but the bike flys.. But yes my Magicycle Deer now sits and we are getting the BixTrix Juggernaut Ultra Duo 4 can’t wait, it will have the 1000 watt Bafang M 620 same motor that’s on the Cobra pro. I think the only hub motor I’ll keep is the Juiced RipCurrent S. Mid motors are definitely the way to go..I enjoyed the review…
I am thinking about getting a D7 Pro from Himiway (updated version of Cobra Pro), but I have heard mixed things about the ownership of their bikes. How are the ownership experience of Himiway bikes long term? And how are the customer service?
Looks like a Quiet Kat Jeep, same tires and motor too.
Vtuvia FMB. Same motor, very similar specs, full suspension, half the price.
Looks like a Class II bike.
Echo is supposed to save on battery
Cool bike
Eunorau specter s makes one similar to this
Cobra Pro is advertised at 28mph vs 25 mph for the Cobra
low cadence with high gear on mid drive motor isnt ideal. it could overheat and defnately lowers your range and efficiancy.
Wallke h6 will give it a run for half the price. Anything missing, got 2k to supply and surpass Jm. Thanks for review
Two completely different bikes and depends what you want to do with them. This bike has more torque than the H6, the suspension is better and this would crush the H6 trying to ride down a bumpy mountain trail. On a flat paved road tho you might be correct.
Geez Jeremiah thank you for correcting me. Guess your inner brilliance blinded me from seeing the truth.
23 mph is not fast enough try cyrusher Ranger e bike looks the same you have but the Ranger riches close to 40 mph easy
Jeremiah, love the videos! Made my bike purchase based to great extent due to your detailed reviews. Keep up the great work. PS, what phone app are you using for speed/odometer?
Jack
Thank you jack. The app I use is called speedometer and has the #69 on the app thumbnail. Just curious what bike did you end up going with?
I got thr G-Force T42. Added most of your recomended upgrades plus a couple of things you changed on the Lectric 2.0. Really enjoying the bike. Wife is happy with her Lectric 2.0 step thru. T42 is pretty fast. 11/34 free wheel & it has seen 32 on the gps.
Sweet and glad you are enjoying them! Happy trails!
for 4k you should just get a sur ron
I agree comparable to the biktrix juggernaut ultra pro only downside why I’m here watching this the juggernaut ultra pro gets up to 45 miles per charge this cobra claims up to 80 miles per charge
compliments for your chanel... can you do the same video with FREY CC FAT????????????????????????????? THANK YOU
For 40kg ebike it's shame it's just 1000W. Heavy & sturdy, not bike like...
I really hope for 72V ebike with high amp cells.
I know it's big difference, but 25kg ebike is max for me with this expectations.
Yeah, for this weight you need expensive/high-tech materials.
CYC are neat. It's 5000W and weighs only 5,6kg (bafang 6,7kg)
I had this bike for a few months, sold it because it had no power. Stalls easily on moderate hills in the woods. Bought a Wired Freedom instead so I can ride it off road
You probably had the hub motor version and not the Cobra Pro mid drive version like this one.
@@JeremiahMcintosh oh right, yea I did. I can't beleive they even make/sell that version! So pointless
I just purchased the Cobra Pro and live in NM. I stopped riding my old 750w/80Nm Radrover in the +6000 feet rolling foothills because of the lack of power. I'm back to riding in the foothills with the 10-speed and 160Nm of the Cobra Pro.
Does it have a unique serial number? Looks awesome, thanks!
You should look at the Frey AM1000 or Frey Beast for a comparison. Good Vid though
Great review, what lock would you recommend for this bike?
Very nice review. Got me thinking of grabbing one! How's it holding up after all of this time?
Nice review. Too slow for me though. Lookup the Wicked Freedom. Its 1,999 and waaayyy faster.
You sir are absolutely right
e-bike newbie here....I'm an experienced off road mountain biker. I can climb pretty much any incline in granny. If I can get traction, I can climb it. Will this bike do the same? Will this bike climb the steepest off road trails if it gets traction? Will it climb multiple steep off road hills and get me to the top (assuming within battery range)?
you could actually add hub motors to it
Awesome bike and an awesome review!!!
Thank You Brent. I appreciate that!
I remember buying my 1989 GSXR 1100 for $4900 in 1990 from a guy who's wife was making him sell it with 300 miles on the odo. It could hit 180 MPH, did that, ONE time only. Scary. But it could definitely handle hills.
Great review! I was looking for a bike for my son and was curious what bike your son is riding in this video?
a price is neither cheap nor expensive - it's either low or high. just sayin' :)
I need this in my life
I think QuietKat has this beat. But the carbon Fibre is nifty...
Sport Mode must be in terms of acceleration, not speed, maybe.
$4,000 for a bike??!! A BIKE?! Ha! Reminds me of those Mercedes and Lexus Christmas commercials. Lol! Like everyone can afford them!
It says on their website it does 35 mph
Comparing this bike to QuietKat and Cyrusher. Thoughts?
Hiboy p6 with a bifang motors that goes up to 30mph for $1000….
Thank you for the speed reset
Your welcome
Can't see it with a nice big rear rack and fenders.
85 lbs. and 1 ⅓ hp. Whoa, Mini bikers step back
Luna cycles X2
Thats a real issue when they cap your speed to 20-22 mph on a powerful bike like that.
Does the Cobra Pro come with Front/Rear Fenders and Rear Rack? If not, any way to get them?
No it does not. It comes exactly as seen in the video. I believe they will be coming out with a rear rack for it but not sure about fenders.
Has anyone else had a problem getting their bike? I finally got my bike 6 months late and still at 9 months waiting for my helmet and free hat. There service is awful. Keep saying they were sending me my bike and never did get it until it was freezing in Sask. I ordered it in May.
I have the Bafang M620 on my 2021 VoltBike Yukon Core and in Sport mode i get up to 1500 watts .Actually there's a 750w screen and a 1500w screen .In setting if i put speed at 30 mph i get the 750w screen and at 31mph setting i get 1500w screen .Is that deore a clutch derailleur . I had to install a clutch derailleur on mine for better performance and prevent chain skipping or knocking
Best i did on Sport mode (1500w) on flat paved path wind at my back was 33mph but i had to give it all i had way easier to get to 28mph. Voltage setting is more accurate percentage not so much
I'm just done with 26" wheels
Who’s coming out with GPS for these things because they get stolen so much?
Hi! Have you compared it to Nireeka Ebike? The pricing is about the same, with carbon frame, and dual suspension. However, the range on the Nireeka is 50 miles and top speed is 35 MPH.
No I have not but would love to!
Never seen a mid drive I liked, and for 4000 bucks it should do 35 mph.
Don't know what they where thinking on this one.
Why Is mid drive so expensive?
Nice video. New subscriber to your channel. Thanks.
Thanks Robert!
Out of all the ebikes you've tested, what is your favorite hub drive bike? I'm looking to upgrade my Lectric xp 2.0,. I've been looking at the Wallke H6, the Aniioki A7 pro and the Lectric 3.0. I live in a hilly area with a few VERY steep hills.
Man that would be a tough decision. I have many favorites for different occasions.
@@JeremiahMcintosh Which one would you recommend for my usage? I've also considered the Vitilan 7 pro.
I tested ride this bike today. The motor did not feel so strong also I could no tell if it was torque or cadence sensor. There is a big delay to feel power when pedaling
We’re you riding the regular cobra which has a hub motor or the cobra pro that has a mid-drive like this one?
Awesome review Jeremiah! I'm really interested in a mid-drive over a hub drive, liking the idea of the necessity of using the gears. But in your opinion, would having a cadence sensor on this mid-drive bike instead of a torque sensor make it any less enjoyable? Maybe the different sensors are just a matter of preference?
I really like the way the torque sensor works over the cadence sensor especially since you have a throttle to use at any time.
