Great video! We are an e-bike repair shop and this video helped us to find the fuse and determine that this customer did in fact have a blown fuse in his battery and followed your lead to solder on a new 30 amp fuse and get our customer their bike back! Cannot praise you enough on the explanation and knowledge you made available!
Thanks for your videos. Because I'll be on my own with electrical issues on my Himiway bikes when they arrive (Local Bike shop won't service electrical problems, only mechanical) Your videos are essential to me being confident if something goes wrong. I've done soldering several times and although I'm not great at it, I can get the job done. Thank you again!
I am so thankful that you made this video. I had an arc while putting on the battery. Just like you said, the mosfets are shorted, and the battery shows that it is nearly full, but there is no voltage on the pins. I started taking the battery apart last night, but I was intimidated by the full battery level. Just by sheer luck, I ran across your video. I'll take another look at it in the next couple of evenings. In the meantime, I'll look through any other videos you have on the Himiway bikes. Again, thank you so much!
Mike great video. I have thinking about opening my battery to investigate the BMS to see what the maximum amps it is designed to output before shutting down. My All Terrain was made before they started to change cells in the pack due to supply shortages. I have inquires to Himiway and given them the serial number on the battery, they responded telling me it has Samsung 35E cells which are some of the best for this application., I found a setting in the menu of the display that allowed me to crank the maximum amps up to 25 from stock 20 amps, made a difference for sure, Now I'm wondering how far the BMS can be pushed before it shuts down due to over-amps. Do you have any idea what took the MOSFETS out of the controller? Did quit all of sudden? How many miles did you have on the bike when it failed? Thanks again for the informative video.

I'm reading 40 volts across all pins (1-3, 2-5,3-6). Happened after my bike just died on me going uphill in hot weather. Had a fully charged battery Fuse is intact. Battery won't charge and bike won't turn on. Any idea what is going on?
@@WG7D I subbed. Got my Hemiway 3 weeks ago. So far it’s outstanding. I’m about your age with a brand new titanium knee about 2 weeks old. Can’t wait to get back on it.
@@jackmehoffer1037 Thank you. I hope you enjoy your ride,its a good bike. Unfortunately, I will be putting my Himiway up for sale due to medical reasons. I have a bad back and have decided to go with a recumbent bike. I just completed the adding the motor kit to it . Have fun and enjoy life on your bike!
I have a venture electric bike I bought it but the battery doesn't want to charge the bike I don't know what's the problem is there any way that you could try to help me
I watched another video on fuse replacement and the gentleman showed there is a 40 amp automotive type fuse in the end of the battery where the connectors are.
Himiway advertises these batteries to be Samsung or LG brands but I see no name inscriptions on both of my step through bikes. Received my bikes mid September 2021, how can I verify that these are authentic Samsung batteries?
He didn't unrape the battery pack so you could see the actual cells. I also wish he had exposed the BMS so we could know what it's maximum amps were. I guess we can assume its less than 30 amps as the fuse that blew on the final output of the battery pack is 30 amps.
My experience with these made in China or overseas products is that they can advertise or promise anything and when proven fake or false, they are never help accountable for false advertising or they just simply change their company name. I truly believe that my Himiways have generic batteries and not the Samsung batteries that convinced me to choose this bike.
There are several factors at play here: 1. Batteries are usually specified by their nominal voltage, not their charge (Maximum) voltage. 2. Different chemistries (SLA, NiMH, LiCo, LiFePO4, etc.) will have different volts per cell, and thus different charge voltages. 3. Battery vendors recently have offered a few different voltages of batteries near the 48V range. When talking about LiCo/LiPo/LiMn, a 13-cell battery will have a nominal voltage of right about 48V, whereas a 14-cell battery will have a nominal voltage of about 52V, and both with different charge voltages.
@@WG7D electronics stuff is like magic to me because i dont understand it. so you just revived my dead battery by pure magic! Thank you man. im glad i didnt blow up or get electricuted. much love from germany!

I am glad it helped you. I have since moved on from the Himiway and built my own electric bike. Enjoy your rides!

How did you change the Amps?
Hi my new battery from Himiway has voltage across all three places. your vidieo only show voltage across 2 places. which is correct?
Just clicked on.I was looking for info on himi cruiser.do you know where the speed limit wire is?

I have the same solder station :)
I have a New Himiway cruiser. Bike works fine. I only have voltage on the middle pins.
Wondering where to get the 30 amp weird looking fuse please?Thank you
As he said in the video if you listened, they are hard to find/get because of shortages.
@@theone2be33 its a 30 amp smd fuse
Great video thanks
thanks!

i liked this.

Did you replace the resistors?
No,not needed.
I watched another video on fuse replacement and the gentleman showed there is a 40 amp automotive type fuse in the end of the battery where the connectors are.
Do you have a link? I never saw that fuse.
@Vegas RoManiac Thanks!,I will watch it....I also subscribed to you.
@Vegas RoManiac Where did you send the link? Also what after market controller did you go with? Thanks!
@Vegas RoManiac Must be what happened..thanks
@Vegas RoManiac Got it thanks! I need to upgrade the bad motor controller,which one did you go with?
Himiway advertises these batteries to be Samsung or LG brands but I see no name inscriptions on both of my step through bikes. Received my bikes mid September 2021, how can I verify that these are authentic Samsung batteries?
Not sure,no marking that I could see.

@@raypabs5374 One way to find out open the battery and peal back the plastic wrap.
If anyone actually checked please let us know…still under warranty so can’t peel anything yet lol
I don't have the charger
has Himiway every had history of exploding batteries?
Not that I am aware of.
So it's really a 54V battery and not 48V?
There are several factors at play here:
1. Batteries are usually specified by their nominal voltage, not their charge (Maximum) voltage.
2. Different chemistries (SLA, NiMH, LiCo, LiFePO4, etc.) will have different volts per cell, and thus different charge voltages.

@@WG7D thanx. I ordered this bike a few days ago. How long do you think it'll take before I receive it? I'm on the east coast

Can u fix my battery
What is your location?
@WG7D I'm in Brooklyn New York
@@T..M.. Oh,I thought you might be local. I am in WA state. Sorry.
Oh wow 👌. Thanks for your response I guess I'll try it on my own
