I have this bike and really like it. I changed out the freewheel from 14-28 to 11-28, which helped with peddling at higher speeds. I also changed the PAS settings from the factory default. Made it better to change from 0-5 to 0-7 with a better range of percentages.
Oh nice, that's a great idea. And also thanks for the tip about the settings for PAS. I'll have to look into it. I'm a little shocked they didn't refine this better from the factory. It's borderline dangerous the way it is for somebody who's not experienced riding motorized vehicles
There's supposedly a setting you can set within the computer to control how much assistance is provided and how strong the assistance provided feels. Actually, there's the setting that controls the number of Pedal Assist Settings ( like 0-5 or 0-7 or 0-9 ) and the SSP setting ( initial burst of power setting ) . Within the PAS settings itself, you can also control the percentage of power provided; within the SSP setting, you can control abrupt or gentle the takeoff is. There's another setting elsewhere that controls the speed limit ( which also relates to the PAS settings as well ) Relatively easy to google and find a video showing how to set the Himiway settings ..
Great review bro. Your talking was spot on!!! It was all about the bike quite refreshing not to hear your life story for 3.5 min before the vid so I thank you for that will follow you next vids for sure. Thanks again
Nice video ! My wife has this E-bike, for less of a torque boost, change the settings of the % power going to the motor, in % increments for different speeds...GTLA ,Also change the front sprocket from 46 tooth, to 52 tooth, and this will give you a extra 8th, & 9th gear for max peddling from 20mph, to 25+mph ....
That IS so AWESOME! Finally I'm watching a video were someone has taken battery out and put to CHARGED while assembling 🚲!😜 Had a great laugh when you was going full throttle with GOPRO in one hand ad soda in the other 😂
Awesome! Good luck with it. Be careful while pedaling at first with the power assist. It kicks in kind of hard and doesn't turn off immediately when you stop pedaling. As somebody else was commenting in the video. Apparently you can make some adjustments to this. I haven't tried it yet

I like the looks of this style , bike, but i have heard they can be a little cramped for those around 6 ft or taller. I wish bikes would have adjustable handlebar height. Having said that, this is a great down to Earth review , well done :)
That bike is sick, i would love to get one..that would be perfect to cruise around my town or ride across town to my job...that way i could save on gas..
Good vid, still looking for something for the wife... that start pause would throw her right off... will have to look for one that has a more gradual take off, granny style! Awesome control with one hand and yea Man U r right, wear that skid lid! Have a good one and thanks for the narration, on point and well done. 👍🏻
If you're still looking (and you could be, god knows I've been doing it for over a month now and still haven't decided lol), you can go into the settings on the controller and change that take-off so it's more gentle and gradual.
I didn't catch the price, if you threw it. Fun & informative review. BTW, Dachshunds were bred for hunting badgers, so they all dig and dig and dig. Careful picking 'em up, too, as they're known for back problems, esp near the rear legs. Keep havin' fun!
Hello I been watching you and I see that you work on motorbikes I have got a 1996 aprilia Pegaso 650MX I have put a new one way clutch in and when I put the alternator cover back on the motorbike won't turn over at all I was just wondering what do you think it mite bee
They won't let you ride that on the bike path if it has a throttle..... Make sure you know what you're buying I'd hate to see you stuck out in traffic riding your bike... Fat tire bikes I really unnecessary I guess if you want to look like you're riding a monster truck with big wheels... I would say go for it
Nice bike but the little beast fiido L3 I have is a range beast averaging 17mph on a 50 mile run till empty 5,11 180lbs big hills and flats, swapped out the strait bar for bmx leg savers and added 2.2 cult tyres, unlocked gets you 20mph and feels like 40mph on 14 wheels
Nice bike, I was wondering regarding the low resistance when pedalling after a certain speed, if you could loosen the back wheel pull it back and then re-tighten if the bike a allows you and looks safe, chain will be tighter and less rattle and should help with resistance 👍
Hey do you think a kids seat can be mounted to that wide rear rack ? I love the bike but it needs to be family friendly , does anyone have a kids seat on one of the big dogs yet?
I don't see why not. It's pretty sturdy. But I guess I would check with the manufacturer to see if they recommend something like that and what the payload capacity of the rack is
Hi. I have this bike and my battery won’t come out. The little black thing under neath the tube just spins forever with no resistance and doesn’t let it out. I used the key and I can see and hear it unhatch the battery but it is still unpullable. Is there a way to turn the black thing in a way to let the battery out? I tightened the screw holding it there and the cheap plastic black thing just snapped in half and fell off an now there’s just a screw.
WARING ..do not buy a bike from Himway. Customer support is a sham and they lie to you . They tell you its ships in 2 days and it should say they take your money in two days and give you a run around . I am a senior and am very worried they will never send me the ebike. Customer service is very poor. I watched every video on the Big Dog too. So disappointed in himiway for the emails that send you to nowhere.
Dude has 474K subscribers and he can't afford to buy a camera mount or chest rig so he can ride helmetless with two hands in traffic. Hmmm Great video though. I enjoyed it.
Thank you for all the hard work, but I’m not a fan of reviews. I work paycheck to paycheck and can never afford buying “extras” for myself or my family. I have all I can do to pay our monthly bills. I make 60k/yr. But I’m sure there’s many who watch this channel and have plenty of disposable income 👍❤️
This is an EXCELLENT review. He gets a ton of worthwhile info into a short video, and he really knows his stuff.

Oh crazy man, you're right over the river from me! Neat to see someone so close and thanks for the great review! Super appreciated.

Thanks for the no nonsense review, much appreciated. Great job 👏
So glad you uploaded a new video. My day at work was dragging this morning.

Great video. You went over so much info it was very helpful. Mine comes in just 2 weeks and I can not wait
Good review, I just ordered a himiway cobra , I like there quality & great reviews. Keep rolling & sippin suds . Lol
your neighbors have to think "how does this guy have every form of motorized transportation?!" lolol also i love that NNKH hat!
I just ordered one of these and will get it in a few days. Thanks so much for the video!

I think you forgot to put the link to order it in the description. Have a nice day.
Yes you're right! I'm actually waiting on to send a link with a discount. But I'll put a generic one in there for now. Thank you

Buying two for Christmas me and my wife perfect
Great job! Looking to buy one and your video was very interesting!
You drove right pass my house across from Popeyes on broadstreet lol
Great video bud! Couple of those in my neighborhood. I think I’d enjoy it. Would be helpful if you stated the cost the bike.
That bike is sick, i would love to get one..that would be perfect to cruise around my town or ride across town to my job...that way i could save on gas..
It does have a Cruise Control Function.
Good vid, still looking for something for the wife... that start pause would throw her right off... will have to look for one that has a more gradual take off, granny style! Awesome control with one hand and yea Man U r right, wear that skid lid! Have a good one and thanks for the narration, on point and well done. 👍🏻

Nice looking tho! Yeah like you said..a cruz control would be good.
I didn't catch the price, if you threw it.
Fun & informative review.
BTW, Dachshunds were bred for hunting badgers, so they all dig and dig and dig. Careful picking 'em up, too, as they're known for back problems, esp near the rear legs.
Keep havin' fun!
Would love to review this beast someday! I reviewed Himiways 1st gen Cruisers a couple years back.
I like this bike for the travel from the manila Philippines. I love your blog.
That's a sick little bike. Some mild caveats but it's a solid unit!
Man the sweet water 420s are great you should try the 420 mango Kush there amazing
Would you choose that over Magicycle Deer 20 inch ?
What about driving through water?
Hello I been watching you and I see that you work on motorbikes I have got a 1996 aprilia Pegaso 650MX I have put a new one way clutch in and when I put the alternator cover back on the motorbike won't turn over at all I was just wondering what do you think it mite bee
You’re the first American to pronounce “Aluminium” correctly 😊
Bought 2 Big Dogs; arrived a couple days ago. Both came with hydraulic brakes.
I guess they switched over
Aluminium? Aluminum, you ain't from around here! Good video
NNKH hat i love it, now you need NNKH mechanics jacket or boots or pit sneakers..
They won't let you ride that on the bike path if it has a throttle..... Make sure you know what you're buying I'd hate to see you stuck out in traffic riding your bike... Fat tire bikes I really unnecessary I guess if you want to look like you're riding a monster truck with big wheels... I would say go for it
I have one too, give yourself 9 PS settings instead of 5 it will smooth your wild pony out a little.
What Might You Say The Difference between this one & the Zibra ?
@@jerryjordan677 They're both basically the same bike, the Zibra is bigger
Nice bike but the little beast fiido L3 I have is a range beast averaging 17mph on a 50 mile run till empty 5,11 180lbs big hills and flats, swapped out the strait bar for bmx leg savers and added 2.2 cult tyres, unlocked gets you 20mph and feels like 40mph on 14 wheels
I can't help being a bit worried by batteries that release down. is it sturdy and rattle free? am i paranoid? :)
Nice bike, I was wondering regarding the low resistance when pedalling after a certain speed, if you could loosen the back wheel pull it back and then re-tighten if the bike a allows you and looks safe, chain will be tighter and less rattle and should help with resistance 👍
the chain tightness is determined by the derailer, I have read the solution for the low resistance or "ghost pedaling" is a different gear set.
Nice for a campground or beach resort but don't expect to get through city traffic if you know what I mean.
Nice but where is Jen and Gus going too sit ?
How much is it to purchase a extra battery
Hey do you think a kids seat can be mounted to that wide rear rack ? I love the bike but it needs to be family friendly , does anyone have a kids seat on one of the big dogs yet?
I don't see why not. It's pretty sturdy. But I guess I would check with the manufacturer to see if they recommend something like that and what the payload capacity of the rack is
Thumbs up 👍
Pedalling on the side walk is illegal. Great video.
Thx
Maybe when you are opening the box and cut that wire it has something to do with it
Something to do with what
I spliced the wires back together. All is good in that department
You said you don’t like it when the bike is on 0 gear and it doesn’t go thats for safety reasons thats a safe mode its like a park mode in a car
Your number one pas is set at the top speed of the bike, pas 5 is no different on that bike, in pas 1, you were doing 21mph
Have you seen the Electric Fatboy Harley STYLE Bike.
Yeah I've seen them
Wheel size is 20 inchj not 16 in.... silly mistake to make.
I make lots of silly mistakes
Chris don't use your hands as a hammer. You'll pay for it later.
I have a bigdog and i hate the delay. Talked to himiway about it and they said theres nothing you can about the delay. Thats the default setting.

Kein gutes Beispiel, ohne Helm, mit Getränk und Kamera Freihändig auf der Straße fahren??😮
not sturdy at all. made very cheap. avoid this product.
Nice to see a range test and to know that we get about half the distancce that they claim on the box
