Great review!
Himiway, if you're reading this, the switch to mechanical brakes from hydraulic brakes while still raising the price is the reason why I did NOT buy your Escape e-bike. I bought from someone else instead. I like almost everything else about the Escape e-bike though.
Don’t buy from this company they resell bikes from China
I love this bike. I wish they had a dual batter version. I want to be able to go 50 miles on throttle
As always a great review. If the Himiway Escape had an adjustable seat I would have ordered this bike. Otherwise it had all the features I was looking for.. So, unfortunately ... still researching.
Thanks Jeremiah, I like the Himi-Escape. But, you're right, the headlight is poor engineering. I'd make a 2x5 aluminum plate to extend the light out in front of the basket. Then flip it over, putting the bracket down and bolting it to the aluminum bar. Make the bar short enough so you can tilt it down to light the ground at night.
Isn't it a pity that Himiway would not include a slight adjustment for the saddle. They have that angled post - even 2 or 3 inches would cater for taller riders. For this and other bikes of that seat design (Juiced, Super73 etc) it might not be the most difficult thing to engineer a scissors-type jack mechanism to fit in between the frame and the seat, so as to be able to raise it an inch or two.
Great review! I always learn something from your videos. You're very knowledgeable. I remember you saying a bike you were testing recently was making a noise when the suspension hit top. I started having that issue the last couple rides on my ebike. Do I need to tighten the suspension? Also if you can mount the light on that bike on the basket. Mine came with mounting holes to do so. The only thing I didn't like is the fact it doesn't shine in the direction of the handle bars where you're pointed. I haven't done any night driving so far, so no problems. One other question :I have hydraulic brakes and my back brake makes a ticking noise when engaging it. Sounds like from the inside of the handle grips? Have you had that problem? The bike customer service said to wipe down the roters which I have done several times but it sounds like it comes from where you grip it......anyway thsnks for riding in very cold weather for testing!!😁🥶
Like the mag wheels and the step through design.
I have had an Escape for over a year. Overall I love it! I have rode over 1,000 miles with little to no issues. Rode 45 miles on flat ground (peddling along the way) with no problem on the Chief Ladiga Trail in Alabama. Mine has hydraulic brakes, would not want the mechanical on a bike this heavy. Speaking of heavy, it is tough to get on and off my bike rack but it is just something I have to deal with. I am also 5' 8" tall and I agree it is the perfect size for me. The kick stand gets beat up by the pedal and looks bad after a while. I made a bracket to raise the basket 1-1/2" to avoid hitting the fender. It's a bad design but an easy fix if you are handy. The seat could be a tad softer to my liking but it is good enough. This bike has POWER compared to some other brands I have ridden. My wife has an Lectric XP Step Though. It about 30 pounds lighter. But not as nice or powerful. But several hundred dollars cheaper. I like it a lot as well.
Thank You for sharing your opinion. I’m sure it will be helpful for others.
@@JeremiahMcintosh height recommendations my kid its 4'10
I built bikes and battery packs for several years, but finally bought an XP ST a couple of months ago. I'm glad I did. It's a nice bike, and I like the 3 inch tires. I'm surprised the XP really does pull 18 amps, which is maybe 850 watts with a full battery. It doesn't stall on the hills around here. I usually pedal, but don't need to. I have a jumper to use my batteries with the bike. That's the one thing that most of the higher priced ebikes have, a bigger battery. I tested the XP and the capacity is what they say. The XP just is not going to go very far at speeds in the mid-20's. I think Lectric should address it. Maybe they could sell the second batteries for $200, maybe when you buy the bike.
I can't deal with the weight. The motorcycle suspension is great. But wow, that is a heavy ebike. The fixed seat? Your knees just aren't bent enough, the way I see it, so the fixed seat really locks this in as a moped. People should definitely think about that, but you cover it really well.
Himiway is stuck the ebike regs, so it is maybe 800 watts. How much do people want to spend for 800 watts? I don't want to game the regs. I want to keep ebikes unregulated, which means low power. You can see where Honda introduced their new Navi for less than this Himiway. The electric stuff is getting a lot better.
Interesting review. Well worth watching. I can pretty much say I wouldn't buy one, from this review, and I'm glad I have the XP for basic riding. The Chinese are really pushing hard with pretty good designs.
Nice comment 👍 following for more pearls as you drop them.
I have the XP ST to and I do like the way this Ebike looks , but at that weight and the fact that the seats doesnt go up or down is a no go for me. !!!! I agree with you
@@meccahqayyum7708 it's kinda in a strange category. Like riding a moped in the bike lane. At least my moped (xp) resembles a bike.
@@luckyfire3 lo l is really is lol
Great review! And I'm so happy, after looking through probably thousands of bikes, this is it!!......... only one thing. I don't think I can get it to Sweden.
But at least I know that there are these types of bikes available out there!
If it helps you can buy them via the U.K. Himiway site.
I thank you good sir for posting this video, just bought mine and am loving it, sure it's not perfect - a few things to fix along the way but otherwise it's a pretty awesome bike. def recommend if you live 5 or so miles from work and need better transportation then a common no motor bike.
Do you know if the double kickstand on the Big Dog will fit on the Escape?
At about 46v the battery seems to cut off, I had to pedal to work one time. Motor would cut off and I would have to pedal using PAS 5 barely getting about 12MPH. That was the voltage it was reading when I used a multimeter to read it, ran for about 3 avenues and the motor barely ran. Cut off when I tried to use throttle so I had to end up using PAS 5.
One real great idea is to have a spare battery if you was to take a long trip one battery can take you out there and the other can bring you back .. now do they have stronger battery ? Or are all the battery are the same ?
How did you put the basket and light on? We can't even loosen the screws? Help, what do we need a to do?
Yes you can adjust the seat ,
Put spacers under the seat
Do You maybe have list of ebikes which were able to pull You over hill with electric only :?D
Great video, what city are you from!
Always have like the mag wheels
It's a great bike but it took 6 months to get my bike and now it's been 8 months and I'm still waiting for my helmet. Also if your taller than 5 foot, 10 inches the pedals ride high and makes it uncomfortable for peddling.
Can you tough up the front suspension. Like a mountain bike by dial.
Nice Video. The front Suspension is too soft and the frontlight is too low.
I like this bike.
100 lb bike with a top speed of 25 for approximately 2 Grand it's sounding kinda meh😑. Great review 👍
Thank You. It’s 92lbs and currently (as of 1/5/21) $1650 with my coupon code.
You do know that there are bikes that cost 3k or more and aren't electric right?
@@Trillville43 absolutely I wasn't trying to sound nasty. He reviews tons of bikes. Most are cheaper than 3 Grand.
@@luckyfire3 I can respect your opinion. Any recommendations?
I just bought a radmini step through.
@@Alusnovalotus well rad mini is a nice ride. Worth the money because the huge support group. I personally own a lectric XP. I added a mid drive bbshd and it's more torque I really like it now just need a better lighter bike to put the kit on.
Good and Fair review, thank you. Mixed feelings... the Escape is lacking in some areas but priced appropriately. The pedal lock condition on a 92lb bike is disappointing.
Yes but the kickstand had to be in the middle because of the weight it’s really not too big of a deal tho just flip the kickstand up.
@@JeremiahMcintosh Juiced Scorpion has no pedal lock and it has a heavier 21.5 Ah battery. For Himiway,, the lack of these 'no cost, nice to have features' sends the wrong message to the customer, implying customer satisfaction is not a high priority. Sorry we agree to disagree 😁
if you like a moped style bike, this one might be a good choice, but i still think the lectric xp 2.0, with the exception of the mag wheels, is still the winner. and $1700 for no hydraulic brakes seems weird. but you can swap out the breaking mechanism, like you did on the lectric, and get a much better breaking experience.
Don’t buy from this company they resell bikes from China
No key needed to start the bike? Csn anyone start the bike? If so not.good for theft.
Have you reviewed the newer escape pro?
What is the seat height?
That was a pretty good show.
Thanks. I do my best to show how the bikes perform!

Just had ours delivered 3 days ago. 1499.00 not tax or delivery charge. I just wish the key did need to be installed to run bike.
I love the look and feel but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
Why don't you mess with the wheel size? It's how you fix the speedometer and odometer
Great review! This bike was in my top 2 when deciding on which bike to get. I ended up getting the Tesgo Strength and I will probably be buying the lady 1 too. But the shipping and the hydraulic brakes were the determining factors for me. But the escape is a nice looking bike.
Also, were you able to figure out how to unlock top speed on your Tesgo Strength?
No I have not been able to unlock the Tesgo. Let me know if someone figures it out!

The Nm are definitely wrong, it should be around 6-10Nm.
what is the fastest you’ve gone?
I show the max speed in the video.
Put hydraulic calipers on it THEY HOOK ON TO THE CABELS
YA GOT TO CHANGE THE F$%^&* WHEEL SIZE PAL!1
What's your inseam?
Hey Linda my inseam is 30”
@@JeremiahMcintosh thanks for your prompt reply. I really appreciate your reviews.
Need the price.
There is a link in the description to take you to their official website where you can see the current pricing.
Himiway is a no way! Nice frame, weak components, over priced middle class product. Pre pandemic technology surpassed by most suppliers offering much better units at the same price.
This bike looks like a pos compared to mokwheel bike
