Himiway to Bafang Motor Swap (EcycleMD)

[@davidspradley9182]

will a bufang 1000w motor fit in a himiway 750w casing?

[@PatrykAndrzejewski0]

Plot twist they are the same motors

[@luckyfire3]

Is it faster now?

[@adamlichtenstein3827]

Can you use the bafang motor with the himiway battery?
I have the himiway cobra with the 250w motor and i want to change the Display, Motor and if its necessary also the controller to to make it faster.
Do you know if it works?

[@TheJaimeRose]

What type of freewheel removal tool to use on a Himiway Cruiser? Can you post a link? Thanks in advance.

[@steverackley6826]

I have a new zebra himingway that was shipped to me and has never worked. P1 oooo no code will I lock bike . Any suggestions?

[@BillZad]

What tool did you use to open the Himiway casing ? Did you put some new grease in the casing for the newer motor?

[@jayrobinson75]

Phillips head screwdriver. Used some white lithium grease which is the same used for the planetary gears.

[@E-bikeeverything57]

So do they have the same stator size. Would have been nice to have seen them side by side

[@billbeggs3765]

Trying to pop mine loose to open it. Wish you would have shown.

[@RobinsonCycle]

Try tapping it on the axle. It should knock loose.

[@williamday3727]

I have seen a video on the same thing recently, coulda been y'all. I wanted to ask u if you know what the number of pins are in the motor plug connector on the Himi, thanks

[@jayrobinson75]

I believe there are nine which is pretty much standard for ebike motors.

[@readypetequalmers7360]

Why would anyone want to swap the motor and replace all of the wiring? If one has a bad motor seems like it would be best to stick with a more exact replacement from the company to avoid having to rewire everything. It is a good video showing how it is done while keeping it short.

[@AntiheroVHS]

You don't have to rewire anything using this method. you could if you wanted or if the motor fried so you are not locked into the factory parts which limit the speed, etc of the bike.

[@readypetequalmers7360]

@@AntiheroVHS in the video they point out that the connector is different between the two motors and they used a completely different system. While I think you are right when changing the connector being the same spec they both should work. This was not even hinted at.

[@TheDrjjones426]

The BaFang is a superior motor to the factory himiway, but it WILL require changing the controller and display.

[@RobinsonCycle]

@@TheDrjjones426 It does not require the changing of the controller or display with the use of an adaptor cable. We have them available on our website www.ecyclemd.com

[@keithrichards4916]

After installing , motor works but it doesn’t engage , sounds like motor is just spinning . What am I missing ? Thanks

There's no link in the description?

[@BigCityCBGs]

can the stock controller run that Bafang motor

[@RobinsonCycle]

Yes, you have to purchase the adaptor from our website and you can plug it right into the factory controller afterwards.

[@johnnyirizarry4239]

What I want to know is it s 1000 watt or else it's useless

[@Hoggdoc1946]

I wonder if the stock Himiway bike is a rebranded Bafang made to their specs. The company that builds the Himiway builds bikes for several different brands one of which is RAD E-bikes. So I think they have the buying power to get motors made for them by Bafang.
This is good to know because Himiway is not always that easy to work with when needing replacement parts. Also I'm sure with a little research one could figure how to swap connectors on the Bafang motor to work with the controller on the Himiway. However it wouldn't be a bad move to swap controllers and displays while using the Himiway battery.

[@RobinsonCycle]

We do offer an adaptor as well now so the Bafang motor works on the stock Himiway system.

Hello because of a good Himiway bike After 3 weeks and about 15 km it is defective (no more pedal assist)
After I tried the support they wanted a video from me with the description of the problem,
what I had done. The driving assistance via hand throttle worked perfectly,
what I showed in the video.
And what email came back from China ??? a video how I can speed up the hand throttle illegally,
with the statement that they helped me with it ?????????
I think the Himiway Service in China can't even watch video properly.
I've only had the bike 3 weeks and already have a neck on Himiway.
I hope for you that you never have to use the service, because the support in Germany gives the problem
also only to China, because nothing else comes from there either.

Have fun with your Himiway
and hopefully never a warranty case.

[@Denvermorgan2000]

There is no reason why this wouldn’t It’s just a rebranded bafang motor.

[@warrendeaton3925]

Calm down with the camera
