I wrote the company and they confirmed that the chain ring is a 46t. That should solve one of the main objections.

I just put my order in today. Can’t wait.

Major selling point to me vs the Adventure was battery size and height variety. I’m 5’11” and my wife is 5’2″. My wife can try this one if she likes, vs one that has a more fixed size.

Just purchased the Zebra 20 minutes ago and am so excited to get riding! I’m 59 and looking to slowly work my way back in to shape. Does anyone know if they fixed the front chain ring issue at this point? That is the one issue that concerns me about this purchase. Thanks, and happy cruising!

Yes, you are right they are very close and I picked the Zebra step-thru, and hope I am right!

XP2 looks like a very good bike for the price, but you can’t compare it to the Zebra, because the Zebra is a very good bike for the price and that’s what I think and I hope I am right because I just bought the step-thru Zebra because I am an old fart with a bad knee!

Yes, It is disappointing because I just bought one, but there are still a lot of upgrades and I have to wait till May to find out how good they are dammit, I feel like a 61-year-old kid waiting for his toy! But I notice that about the sensor too and was very Disappointed and hope the new motor and better battery and intergraded frame will take care of some of the other issues and some of the other grades too! We will see!

Not even. XP2 is an entry level bike. The Zebra is well above that in many areas.

How would you compare this to the Aventon Aventure? I’m considering getting an ebike and these two seem to be great. The Himiway has the advantage in terms of battery capacity and weight limit (I’m toward the high end of the Aventure’s 300lb limit listed on their website) but the reviews seem to be so glowing for the Aventure across the board. One advantage of the Aventure for me is a shop an hour and a half away that is a dealer in case I needed to have it worked on.

That’s a good bike. I’m not sure they are exactly an apples-to-apples comparison though.

IMO, they’re all chasing the Lectric XP2, which at $1K is the one to purchase.

Thanks for a great review. You guys are quite thorough, however I question your comments about the Zebra having a torque sensor. I shot Himiway support a message asking what type of sensor the Zebras will have and the response was, “speed sensor”. They further explained that the “speed sensor” was a type of cadence sensor. The Cobra and Cobra Pro are the models Himiway is installing the torque sensors in. I think the torque sensor is better and I was disappointed to learn the Zebras would not have them. I think Himiway should list the type of sensor on the specs page so people know what the are buying. I also think it’s worth mentioning the fact that you can change the PAS from 1-5, 1-7, or 1-9. You can further adjust the power delivery for each PAS level to you personal preference. This adjustability is a great asset to Himiway and should be highlighted. I wish all e-bike companies would allow the consumer to do this.
