Himo Mini Electric Bike - The Smallest and Most Portable Ebike
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- We take a look at the Himo Mini Electric Bike. It's the smallest e-bike I've ever seen, and extremely compact and portable. This mini e-bike would be perfect for a last mile commuting solution. It folds down into a super tiny square, and you could leave it under your desk, next to you, or in a bag. Take a look at our ride footage and our thoughts on this tiny vehicle.

For this scooter you need a full face helmet not for safety but to hide your face lol
@@NoNORADon911 😂
It has it's place as a autobot it's a Nano-Prime🤓
This looks like something a 12 year old who hasn't learned how to fear for his life would use.
It looks fun

Hello. Tell me, does it charge the battery while driving? is there a generator in it?
This does unfortunately not have a gas generator inside of it, but that would be an awesome modification to make for sure!
I like it 👍😮 small one
It's cool, just don't mind that you look like Billy the jigsaw killer from saw
Mission accomplished 😬
That's not an ebike as it has no pedals. The police in the UK would treat this like an illegal scooter.
I am sold, where can I get it or buy it at.
just with transformers im sold👍🏻😂 seriouly wow amazing product. and again youre approach is impecable😉you nailed it
Great review all I can do is laugh my ass off with this compact bike cool for a quick store run for a blunt and a Micky 😂🤣🤣😂🤐🤐🤐
If the store is just down the street, then it's totally doable! 😅
Calling scooters (with no pedals) moPEDs is stupid enough... e-moped is a pet peeve too as MO refers to a MOTOR which IS electric. But calling a glorified stand up (but with a crappy seat) scooter a BICYCLE (that has no pedals or a place to put even a fake pair?) I've never heard of an Enginecycle though so I guess nothing has to make sense... Like walking the last mile and leaving this thing in the toyroom where it belongs.
Hah, yeah I don't know what this thing should be classified as, but that's what the seller calls it.
As a tall fat guy I can only imagine how hilarious it would look riding this thing
Hah, well the "models" riding it in this vid were certainly not the smallest guys and it looks hilarious on us. I would like to see you ride it though 😅
Pretty cool the way it folds, doesn't look like it has much of a suspension though unless its in the seat.
Yeah, the folding is the coolest, but definitely no suspension. Not the most comfortable ride, but super fun.
Subscribe and let's ride! Waiting for the RE90 version video 😉
EDIT: Oh boy it keeps folding and folding! But honestly with 6 inch solid tires and poor regen braking it seems like a bit of a deathtrap to me in day to day aituations. Maybe it's better for indoor use...as far as it goes for ultra portable vehicles I'd much rather go with a GotWay Mten3, Evolve Stoke or even OneWheel Pint. Removable battery is a cool addition but i think I'd carry the whole thing anywhere anyways. Awesome review as usual! Keep it up & stay safe!
Why even bother doing an RE90 after this beast? Jk, hope we can do something around that!
And yeah, the Mten 3 is probably the ultimate short hop champion. I still gotta get one for myself.
This is not a bike but a scooter because you don't pedal. Why not just get a powerful dual motor e scooter with suspension and seat post?
Yeah, a larger escooter would be much faster and more stable.... but it wouldn't be as "cute" 😅👽🖖
Woah! Riding this with your future backpack you were looking straight outta Death Stranding!
Norman Reedus has some competition!
OT I can see this great for kids/teenagers but too slow, too small wheel for an adult. Maybe with bigger wheels, suspension and better battery tech they can make a true commute ver later.
Still it looks unique and I'd prob buy it to collect it if I had the cash 🐸
Hah, yeah it's not the most practical long distance rider, but could be useful as a toy. I've actually heard that some elderly like this one, because it's easy to control/ride and they don't need high speed.
Well final thought is I am into nanotechnology so I gotta love it and it's a Nano- Prime😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤓
Di Indonesia 🇲🇨 belum ada, boleh tahu berapa harga himo mini electro ini 🙏 thx yu
Hope it gets there some day, not familiar with that market unfortunately. 👽🖖
But that is for kids and you no longer need that helmet. LOL
Lol yeah maybe, it is a bit tiny, but most people have fun riding it!
Accidentally drives into a pothole. R.I.P.
Absolutely ded.
Thanks for the video! I love the variety of PEVs that are available and that you cover. I also really enjoy recognizing almost all the areas you ride around in and around San Francisco. If a PEV can handle San Francisco it should be able to handle most urban environments. I don't think anyone else would have reviewed this thing. Personally this is definitely not for me but may work for someone who can't stand-up for very long or lacks basic balance. I would rather get around on one of those old school hoverboards and they are lighter. I never really enjoyed those hoverboards and would never have been a serious commuting option. At that weight and size I would rather have a Gotway MTen3 mini-EUC or pick-up a used Onewheel Pint. There are also those really under-powered but highly portable folding scooters that were kinda popular a few years back. The only thing holding me back from getting the Gotway is the lack of miles on my Onewheel XR. My scooters get all my PEV miles so adding an EUC may not be the best thing for me. I just want to have the single wheel PEV covered by having an EUC.
Yeah, just fun to try different things and work with different manufacturers. The Mten 3 is a really awesome EUC for sure, it's hard to beat the portability of that, but something like a scooter, or this Himo, is going to be a lot easier for some folks like you said.
Hope you can add a GotWay EUC to your stable soon.
Became fairly popular at campgrounds. Seeing 300 lb plus people riding them is rather interesting
Hah, I have not seen that, and I hope I don't! 👽🖖
Cool
👽🖖
Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
Cutest little thing 🤣 great review, Kevin! Keep it up brother!!
You know i just like to review the fastest/most extreme PEVs like this one! 😂
100% get beat up if you ride this
Hah, probably deserved.
If it was 5" bigger maybev
hah yeah, that would be a lot more versatile! 👽🖖
@Alien Rides Thanks for bringing us all fun and enjoyment by sharing comment's during your great reviews in our time of the C-19 virus crisis California Strong and much love to the entire electric scooter community worldwide-Optimus Prime
Would not be using them in the UK for sure, first pothole would eat those tiny wheels
Are you kidding? That thing is a joke.
Hah, yeah part of accepting this review was to see how silly it was/have fun on it 😅
It’s horrible
Definitely not the most thrilling ride I've ever ridden 😂
when it's fold.it seems the size ofthe mten3? am i right?
Yeah, exactly, I think the Mten 3 might be more practical and smaller for sure, and doesn't take a minute or two to fold. Though this is a lot more approachable by normal people who can only ride bikes. Still gotta buy me an mten 3.
Awww its adorable
Current update on this one and how to get hand on one?
Looks like you can still back them on indiegogo? I think you would get one if so.
@@AlienRides They should be able to refund you if they are done with production? Trying to get this shipped to New York and it should be fine I assume.
Where I can buy it in dubai
I’m actually not sure if any shops sell it in Dubai, but I think maybe Himo could ship you one directly. 👽🖖
That looks an Alien bike!
Yeah, definitely has some 👽 aspects to it!
At this point just get a euc
Haha yeah, EUCs do have a bit more learning curve, but it's totally worth it. Nothing beats the portability. 👽🖖
Cracks my shit up every time. Good viddy man.
😂 was fun to make this one for sure.
=ACTUALLY YEAH,PRETTY HANDFUL BECAUSE OF THIS ONE DOES FIT IN BACKPACK
..........SO IT'S NICE THING IF YOU'RE PRETTY COMMON WITH BACKPACK.....AND YOU DO LIVE NEAR TO YOUR TARGET
Yeah, definitely a fun/cool little toy as well. The Mten3 is also another portable device that can fit in a backpack. 👽🖖
I am about to buy this. Too sad that it doesnt have any suspension. Looks uncomfortable here 4:47
It's a super fun toy, but you're right there's no suspension, so you will definitely feel road bumps.
No need to wear a helmet
Hah, on this, probably not necessary, just don’t get hit by a car. 👽🖖
It's a wacky ride... Not sure how long it will last though. It's quite heavy as well for a small bike
Yeah definitely. A fun toy, but not much more. 👽🖖
Forget about the bike, give me that box. j/k. Kinda reminds me of my Urb-E which I ended up selling so I can fund more electric unicycle purchases.
For sure, a lot of people are saying it's kinda like the Urb-e. EUCs are definitely more practical I think for getting around, but this definitely has a lower barrier to entry.
that thing is sick.
Hah, definitely fun getting to review such a tiny PEV 😁
This bike belongs in the Circus. 😄 😁 😆 😅 😂 🤣 (Clown bike)
Haha it would definitely fit in at a circus (as would most of the stuff I ride)! 👽🤡
I'm so excited to ask for one on christmas
Would be an amazing gift for sure! 😀
looks very dangerous. not enough wheel base. you could easily lose control or hit a crock/hole and flip.
Not sure this thing goes fast enough to flip over, but you're right, it is a super small/short vehicle 😅
Even though you look funny as hell on it I say the more options out there the better. I wonder how this virus is going to affect these last mile e-devices. If it gets you to work and back home that's great but a lot of people purchase the cheaper Last Mile scooter for getting to the bus, train to get to work. Personally I wouldn't take public transportation with what's going on now. A lot of people say that's just being paranoid and that the mortality rate is low with this virus. But being sick is still being sick and that totally sucks! 👍✌
Yeah, maybe I had on too much gear for this lil bike. The virus is crazy right now for sure, some impact to distributors getting stock, but I assume that will be fixed soon. It is interesting that many people won't want to take trains/busses for a while, so I wonder if that means people are going to be looking at more high end PEVs, ones they can ride all the way to work. Stay safe out there...
Can it do inclines at all, or is it strictly limited to perfectly flat and perfectly paved and smoothe roads at all times ? I saw you go down a hill and not be able to stop very well, I never saw you attempt a drive (UP) a hill (???)
I think we went up some very small hills which it can handle (the small motor has great mechanical advantage), but it's not powerful enough for a 10-15% grade hill probably. Fun little ride, but not the most powerful.
What is that backpack? It’s the 2nd one I’ve seen now... what is it?!?
Hah, they are boblbee motorcycle backpacks. I think they look cool and offer good protection. packs.point65.com?ref=alienrides Coupon code: P65ARIDES15
You can lettay carry this bike in school bag
Alien Ride TV voted the best reality show on Earth🤓
where is ligth
There is a simple light in the front I think, but not super powerful? Fun little vehicle though 😅
you might as well walk to save the butt sore.. i dont see how this would comfortable to ride might be good for kid to use
Haha, yeah, the top speed isn't thrilling, but it is a bit fun for kids, as a toy, and actually older people as a mobility device as well.
This is a helpful review, thanks. I like that this can be stored in something as small as a backpack but wonder how truly helpful this would be to an urban commuter. Who wants to lug 30lbs on the subway then unfold and mount for a few blocks in what would have to be great weather to safely ride this device.
I also fear that this device isn’t yet legal in my jurisdiction. It looks cool though - this unpacking and review was really helpful. Wish I could try it out!
Yeah, it's a fun little toy for sure but, but I'm not sure if it's the most practical based on the points you mentioned. I think in most places it's legalized under the same laws as electric scooters. Thanks for stopping by!
@@AlienRides I haven't been able to get this scooter off my mind. And, now seeing so many folks out with their scooters I'm tempted to treat myself... My main issue is usability year-round - I live in NYC and refuse to leave a PEV outside and hate lugging big gear on the train so I love this scooter for the portability. Is this terribly uncomfy for 5-10 min rides around town? Do you think it'd tolerate a bit of drizzling or is this solely dry condition, in your opinion? I've watched your vid countless times - most comprehensive review of this to-date! (THANK YOU!)
Jamie-Lukas Campbell 5-10 mins on this is probably fine, but it’s definitely not the most comfortable ride. It would be super convenient for the subway/train, but does take some time to unfold.
Alien Rides sweet! thank you SO much! I really appreciate it. I cannot wait for your next video. You’ve got a fan in me. Many, many thanks!
Good Luck . Philippines .... our roads are just plain crap !!!! It would be best if it had suspension for our bad roads.. I like it .. but having a sore butt .. ouch ... nope won't work here but maybe in California or other states and countries .. yes with better roads :)
Hah yeah I don't think this will fly in an area with bad roads. Definitely need some good suspension. 👽🖖
How much ?
It was about $1k, I'm not sure where to get this now that the indiegogo is done.
Smallest moped
Smallest rideable thing ever probably.
The Swagcycle Pro kicks it’s ass and for $100.00 less!
Hah, yeah that's potentially a better buy. I think a lot of the cost here went into creating something super portable and lightweight.
The target customer would be the teenagers or persons having certain height & weight. Thanks.
That's true, I think anyone beyond that looks a little silly riding this 😅
Another interesting but peculiar "option". Your channel is fast becoming one of my favorites. I thank you for that! Today I fit 2 Inmotion P2Fs, my MTen, my V8F, and our safety gears in the back of my wife's honda CRV which already had a subwoofer occupying that space... amazing! (Not the CRV 🤣, but how compact these PEVs are getting that everything fit!!).
Btw, your backpack... I got one after seeing it here in your channel (GTX 25L back protector/backpack 👍) and foxproframe helmets too after watching you and Kuji. Keep these videos comin... love it.
Awesome, thanks for stopping by. Not many things beat the EUCs in terms of portability, but this comes close. Sounds like we’d make a cool squad of boblbee proframe superheroes together. 🤓⚡️💪
Why there isn't any mechanical brake and suspensions?
Damn, yeah they should add those and make it smaller! I hope to test the next version.
2:29
Hopefully the Hasbro or Takara legal team is not watching this...
Hah, yeah that probably wasn't a legit license...
I loved this thing when I first saw it. Then I saw the videos and the images. I then paid for the premium on Indigogo. From then they do not communicate when you email them and although they state delivery by July 2020 it is now February 2021. I think these guys are just scammers using money from supporters like me for who knows what? This is a cool gadget but the company is a rip-off. Don't waste your money till it is in a bike shop!
Oof, I'm sorry to hear about your issues with the crowd funding campaign. Can't help but feel a little guilty after making a video if they don't deliver. I'm hoping you get it in the near future.
@@AlienRides Yes, it would seem that the only actual bikes they have delivered were reviewer samples as I have heard from others that they have not delivered to them either. There seems to be a retail product called "Transformers" which makes the whole thing quite confusing. The other thing was I could not find a source for a replacement battery or parts so it just seems a bit weird.
@@AlienRides Don't feel guilty, the idea is terrific, and frankly "I bit" the company is just a scam though, and from what I am told they "took" a ton of people. They held on to deposits and orders until they CC companies and so forth could not "clawback" the funds.
What I have learned from the "Fund Me" sites is that service and parts after (even) delivery on a mechanical and/or electrical device is problematic and frequently blinds those that invest in a product as there is nothing to back up the sale.
Your better off walking bro. That thing is slower than a wet wick. Waste of time. 👎👎👎
Haha yeah, probably true. 👽🖖
Ummmmm... wtf
Lol, the device in your avatar is definitely going to be more comfortable! 😅
Looks like the perfect ride for a quick lunch run. And it would easily for under my desk.
That sounds like a pretty good use for it for sure.
Instead...just paint on your back...I'M A DORK!
Dorks make the most money and get the hottest babes imo, look at elon musk 👽🖖
Looks kind like the IT bike.
Did mr garrison invent this also?
Hah, the IT bike would be a far more pleasurable ride than this, but this one is certainly cute! 😅
informative all while showcasing the product in action. the best kind of review!
Thanks for stopping by! 👽🖖
Hey, just for reference how tall are you
I'm right at 6' tall, which is a bit on the bigger side for this tiny ebike 😅
Alien Rides Thanks for the response, still in the process of getting this one or the Jetson Bolt 😅
Unfortunately, this isn't street legal in any US state that I know of. It if had pedals, it possibly could be an "electric bicycle, but it doesn't, so that's out. I know Oregon would classify this as a "moped", which means it MUST have fenders, turn signals, a permanently lit headlamp, and an illuminated license plate holder. This bike doesn't have those things, so it's not street legal. Moped riders must have a driver's license, must register the moped, must carry insurance on it, and must wear a DOT approved motorcycle helmet. AFAIK, every US state has similar laws to Oregon. A two-wheeled electric bike with no pedals has to meet moped standards or it isn't street legal.
Good point, but I believe it depends on where you live. For example here these are considered electric boards, basically electric scooters and legal to ride in the street.
@@AlienRides I'm curious where you mean when you say "here". I live in Oregon, where electric scooters (like the Razor E300) are only street legal in a very narrow set of circumstances. First, you have to be on a street where the posted speed limit is 25 MPH or less. Second, the scooter must be 1000W or less *and* have a top speed of 24 MPH or less. Third, while riding it you must keep your speed below 15 MPH. Fourth, they are never permitted on public sidewalks, and many Oregon cities (including the two largest cities, Portland and Eugene) prohibit them on bike paths as well. Fifth, the rider must be over 16 and "eligible" for a driver's license (which means if your license was taken away for DUIs, you can't ride an electric scooter). Even if this scooter meets the
@@AlienRides Now legal as of January 2021 in NJ and NYC.
This. This is the next generation of commuting. Theres no way this wont catch 😂
Haha indeed, best PEV ever!!
Looks like it's still larger than an Mten3, after being folded up.
Yeah, pretty much nothing beats the mten 3 in terms of portability.
Let's get 10 more and have a race...lol
Lol, that would be the best. Races, jousts, off-roading. Best tournament ever!
I read that there is a pedal mode, is that true? how does it work?
I don’t believe this one has any manual pedaling at all since there’s only foot pegs. BUT it’s so low that you can kick with your feet, so maybe that works? 😅
That’s crazy😂😂😂 I think it’s too small but I like it
Yeah, it's a pretty tiny thing for sure. Not sure how practical it is, but pretty fun to ride it.
can you elaborate on the digital brakes? How good is the stopping power?
They work, but they're definitely not the strongest. You may have to also use your feet on a steep hill. They are super compact though, which is probably why they used them for this tiny vehicle.
The uncomfortability is another level.
Indeed, out of this world uncomfortability 👽🖖
What’s the weight....no not the rider but the eBike?
I think it's about 32 lbs or so. Pretty heavy for the size I guess.
It looks dumb and the branding is even worse
I can't disagree, but I do think it has a cute look to it, lol.
Does it have any break? and How is the price?
I think it's about ~$500 USD. Break, like problems? I'm not entirely sure since I only rode it for a few days. Definitely a fun little toy though!
Beautiful when FOLDED. Open it up to REVEAL a kiddy bike. If they can take the folded concept it and then make it ADULT size like 12" or 16" wheels, better battery and range.
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Is it now a bike or a scooter and is it waterproof?
It's probably water resistant, but I don't think it's fully waterproof. It's a nice little weird vehicle whatever it is 😅
We say "chiaomi" and "jiaomi" ch sound like in chicago
Good to know, thanks!
The fuck kinda mandalorian jetpack backpack is that
Lmao, this is the way. 👽🖖
Euc makes this irrelevant for me
Yeah, nothing really beats how portable and versatile an EUC is.
Nice
It's a cute lil bike for sure 😅
I will not dare to ride on those wheel !!
They are small and compact for sure, fun to get around on though 😅
His backpack was bigger than the bike
Haha, true. The backpack also provide back protection for crashing on motorcycles, maybe not necessary on this.
It's a toss up,
One of these or the accident waiting to happen (SSR).
🤣 we’re all gonna crash some day. Might be funny to mount this to the SSR stem, show those 505 guys what we can do.
@@AlienRides I imagine 505 would be shocked and envious of what's coming down the pipe⚡⚡🤪
Its cute.my friends have1.and cheap too.its cite
Hah yeah, it's a nice little ebike!
Just the engineering is cool.. wow.
It's quite an impressive and tiny thing. 👽🖖
Crazy to think what's next 🤔 .
Maybe it will get even smaller! 😅
An euc can fit in the same platform
Yeah, but you don't get 5 minutes of "fun" folding and unfolding it every time you need to use it 😅
@4:19 aaayyyooooooooo 😂 😂 😂
😂 extreme ride!!!
Looks uncomfortable, hunched over, tiny wheels
Yeah, it's not the most comfortable, but awesome how small this is, and kinda fun to ride :-p
Damn it! This or a Rion?
It’s a hard call for sure. Maybe we should race the two 🤣
Its sooooo cuteeee n cooool!
Hah, it's definitely a cute little ebike 😅
Just get an m10
Yeah, mten3 is probably the king of portability. I definitely need one some day.
Cool bike.
It's a pretty cool and tiny machine, couldn't resist making a video on this thing! 😅
