E-Bike Question of the Day ⚡🚴 With its demonstrated off-road performance, where will you let the Himiway Cobra Pro take you? Let us know in the comments below 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Great review, thank you! In my state we can have class 3 speeds. How do you manage to get the bike to go over 25 mph as that seemed to be your max speed and Himiway advertises 31mph on their site for this bike. Is there a way to make adjustments to max speeds in the settings per se?
We haven't had a chance to test the T-Rex, but they do seem to be very similar. Same drivetrain, same motor, same size battery. We've had good results from both brands, so either choice should be solid.
I think the new Nireeka bike would be a little better in many ways. Not battery but most other aspects. Screw off road.. I want a dual suspension bike that goes 35 plus mph for going to work.
Now let me GET THIS straight -- letting the motor do most of the work - you got further miles out of the battery - AND -- would it be the same on road miles would you think - with small hills and such - the dealer near me is telling me it will only get about 30 miles out of full power usage - or even when using partial amounts of power - Wonder what he is doing wrong --
Your graphic @14:08 is reversed. So basically you can't be in the highest gear when you take off and you can't be in the lowest gear when you're climbing steep hills?! Constantly having to switch to a single gear before a hill climb and remembering to always downshift as you come to a stop and simultaneously switching your pedal assist to a lower setting so one does not damage the cassette due to excessive motor torque on your next launch is going to be a MAJOR pain in the rear end on this mid-drive equipped bike. It's not IF your cassette gets shredded by the motor on a ride, it's WHEN. It's "demonstrated off-road performance" therefore won't mean much when you're dozens of miles out on the desert with no way to get that 88 pound bike home, and not enough water available for you to hoof it safely. I'll take a hub drive bike that avoids those problems any day #HARDPASS
You basically ride a mid drive ebike like you would a regular bike with gears. Do you pick a high gear to go up a hill? No, you use the lower gears to get up a hill. Do you come to a stop in a high gear? No, you'd probably want to down shift before coming to a stop so it's easier to get going again. If it's hard on your legs, it's harder on the motor. It's true that mid drives are a different animal than a hub motor, but mid drives have their place. I have both mid drive and a hub motor ebikes. I like them both for different reasons. I'll agree that the hub motor is probably best for most people since it isn't as picky on your gear choices. But you can't expect your drive train to last very long if you ride a mid drive just like a hub drive.
Hey man, your graphic in the range test portion has the max/min numbers backwards. You say it right in the audio but your screen graphic has it reversed.
Recently bought a used one in camo, and it is an absolute monster of a bike! Totally outperforms the Quietkat, Rambo and Bakcou comparable models at nearly half the price. Would you show a more detailed video on changing the speed settings and pedal assist levels (I have read you can change them from 5 to 9!)? If you limit the speed to 20 MPH, it shows the reduced power max scale down to 750 Watts instead of 1500W, thus making it appear like a Class 2 e-bike.
wow the pro mid drive really looks great! but battery placement is a no go for me. I think 1st of it getting dirty, wet, poor location for those reasons 2nd I think of gravity,wear that over time it "might" fall? then oops a wreck :o the rest looks to be great & a useful trail bike. I like the narrow bars to sneak between trees, brush, ect. . the tires a bit wide for me. I like the 2.5 on my MTB it does ok. maybe up to 3"? is it a major thing to change the tire width?
ahahahahahaha -- i noticed what you talked about - you processed what you heard wrong - since i do this type stuff for a living - i should know - who pissed in your Wheaties that morning -- ahahahahaha - he did Ok - even with the oddness you noticed - but it was more or less your illusion - the only thing he did not do was to rate it from 1 - 10 - pros and cons thingy !
Himiways engineers will have a look into the wearing issue? What a bullshit answer. NO existing bike cassette is made for 160Nm of torque. If you want something that behaves like a motorcycle, buy a motorcycle. Try to combine bike components with a motorcycle like motor and live with the consequences. As easy it is. This motor has more torque than a Hayabusa.
The torque numbers with these bikes has always been a joke, if it really put out 160Nm of torque, it would beat a Honda Civic off the line and need a wheelie bar. 😂. This bike is no good though because it's just too big and heavy for your typical East Coast Black diamond style mountain trail. But that's kind of what it's being marketed as.
Lol can always Spot the ppl who who have opinions with out ever riding 1, I own a cobra pro and all I say is that freaking thing shreds It's an unapologetic animal
@@hendogoodie Lol, your're the typ of guy who thinks he knows best without having any knowledge about bikes. It's a simple cassette, that wears out at even low torque motors at around 2500miles. Thats a normal wear characteristic of standard bike parts. Himiway does not produce any own parts, it's all standart budget components as all manufactures use. The M620 with it's 160Nm is eating chains and cassettes, but hey, belive what you want. The repairs are around 60-70$ if you do it by yourself. I do this stuff for over 20years and just smlie. Let them figure it out by themself. Why I wrote the comment?! I hate it, when reviewers talking marketing bs even if they should know, that there is no solution for this problem. Even more expensive cassettes don't solve the problem as they're just made to be lighter and more precise for competion.
@@Benjamin_Jehne my comment was actually to the guy who replied to your comment, i Dont disagree with the cassette problem, tho I haven't had that problem yet, for him to say the bike is no good and it's too heavy, that's a subjective opinion especially for someone who hasn't riden 1, I have 1 and it's a beast just no other way to put it
The problem is you never get moving 32 kms really that's ridiculously slow! My grandpa rode one and he said it was slower than his hopped-up mobility scooter. LMAO@@ElectricBikeReport
I have a couple of questions for Himiway e-bike owners: 1. How are they holding up after long-term use, and 2. How are the customer service? Are they responsive/good? Asking above questions because I am thinking about purchasing D7 Pro, and wanted to do due diligence research. Thank you in advance for your input!

Want to see a direct comparison between this beast and Tern's new Orox.
Very awesome, lots of power, second e bike I owned ,himiway rocks. be safe.

Damn this bike look sporty and pretty at the same time.
Agreed!
The Cobra Pro and the Troxus T-Rex seem to be very similar. Do you have any thoughts between these two bikes?
We haven't had a chance to test the T-Rex, but they do seem to be very similar. Same drivetrain, same motor, same size battery. We've had good results from both brands, so either choice should be solid.
I would have loved to have seen this model come with a standard, cabled-in drop-seat post.
That was on our wish list as well!

Can we add fender?
Is this UL Certified?
curious about the frame.looks like carbon weave but has welds?! Also what is the fork? one of those Alibaba no name specials?
Would be a great bike to test Shimano Linkglide.

Catskill Mountain bikes has two in stock in upstate New York also 2 of the standard Cobras
Does the bike hoist in the background hold the himiway cobre pro

Ah snap! Thanks for the heads up.
how do you limit the speed limit to 20 in the display
We have the bike in storage at the moment, but if I remember correctly, it should be a double tap on the 'i' button to access the display menu.
Recently bought a used one in camo, and it is an absolute monster of a bike! Totally outperforms the Quietkat, Rambo and Bakcou comparable models at nearly half the price.

We'll be sure to include that section when we get a chance to review the updated D7 Pro model. Glad to hear you're enjoying your bike!
oh man...that's the bike I just bought and this is the exact question I have . Can't wait to see the review@@ElectricBikeReport

but battery placement is a no go for me.

2nd I think of gravity,wear that over time it "might" fall? then oops a wreck :o

the tires a bit wide for me. I like the 2.5 on my MTB it does ok. maybe up to 3"?
is it a major thing to change the tire width?
Please review the Specialized Globe Haul ST! Been waiting to read your review!
We don't have it in yet, but we're in talks on it. Hopefully soon!
So basically the motor is to powerful for its gear chain system. Very poor design.
Too powerful for the current chain and cassette system. That's when the Shimano Linkglide comes into play with durability!
*FFS 1/2 of this video is talking about what your gonna talk about later. And what you already talked about! Horrible Reviewer!*
Thanks for the feedback. Have a nice day!
ahahahahahaha -- i noticed what you talked about - you processed what you heard wrong - since i do this type stuff for a living - i should know - who pissed in your Wheaties that morning -- ahahahahaha - he did Ok - even with the oddness you noticed - but it was more or less your illusion - the only thing he did not do was to rate it from 1 - 10 - pros and cons thingy !
Have you had a chance to review the Aniioki 52V Dual motor Pro Max?
Not yet, but that bike looks like a beast!
This seems like a great bike for a 6’7” tall rider. What others would you recommend?
I'm 6'3" and added a 400mm seat post and the Himiway 85 degree adjustable bike stem riser to the Cobra Pro to fit me a bit better.

What is the plain old top speed on the street? Whatever mode ... Top speed flat ground... ?
As it ships, 28 mph
where can I get that bike mount/stand in the background? looks life what I need
bit.ly/41EThPf
Why people are trying to compare it to a regular MTB? It doesn’t look like one, it doesn’t behave like one.
Terrible mountain bike, great boat anchor! Looks cool just too big and heavy,
You don't really notice the weight and size once you get moving.
The problem is you never get moving 32 kms really that's ridiculously slow! My grandpa rode one and he said it was slower than his hopped-up mobility scooter. LMAO@@ElectricBikeReport
17:10 those carbon fiber welds are sick 🔥
It's aluminum dude, just painted to look like CF
At 88 lbs you should know there's no carbon fiber on that bike whatsoever.
@@mattymattmatt101are you really that dense or did this one just fly over your head?
