Overall Rating:4.2/5 Himiway Cobra Review: Intro The Himiway Cobra we’re reviewing is a departure from the typical electric bike we see from consumer direct companies.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5 Himiway Cruiser Review: Intro When it comes to value-laden e-bikes, there are a number of really fine bikes on the market currently. Competition in the sub-$2000-range is stiff as drywall. With its powerful motor, substantial battery, fat tires and included accessories, this Himiway Cruiser review show that this is a fat tire […]

Overall Rating: 4.7/5 Ride1up 700 Review: Intro When it comes to commuter e-bikes, arguably the biggest mistake a manufacturer can make is to try to build a bike that fills too many roles.
