New Ebikes From Himiway and Others Companies
Hey it’s Russ yeah -4 degrees here in Chicago yeah we’re not riding anytime soon and of course um you know just prior to the weekend we had a lot of snow so yeah not safe I’m not I’m not going out it’s cold I’m telling you even I I
Went to fill up my gas uh in in my the gas in my car and uh just for that short time my ears are freezing yeah you have to cover up everything any Exposed Skin you’re going to you’re going to feel it if you don’t so
Anyway let’s talk about ebikes I got a I got an an email from himiway today this is a general email that’s sent to All himiway owners and they were talking about the offerings they were showing at the Consumer Electronic Show now I’m not going to even show it to you here I
Don’t think I can do it justice they got a lot of new mods coming so I’m going to put a link in the description of the video I want you to take a look at that link and then you can make some comments tell me what you think of what you saw
There um these ebikes don’t even look like ebikes I mean they’re they’re really different and they even have some some other offerings um that are not ebikes so you might want to look at this one yeah it’s not even worth it for me to even put it up there it’s just too
In-depth um what they’re talking about and then the photos and all that um yeah go go to their website take a look at it I’ll put the link in the description then let me know what you think about all that okay they’ve made some major changes yeah so looking at what himiway was
Offering at CES I had to wonder what is everybody else going to be offering I mean are they all going to take this major departure from what we consider standard ebikes I mean they don’t even look like things we’ve seen before it’s totally different looking design so um
It’s possible other companies may follow suit and do the same thing I mean the these guys are really pushing the the limit at this point with ebikes and uh will I be getting one I don’t know you know this this all depends on himy way whether they say yeah let’s let’s give
Him one to to try out and whatever so totally up to them you know uh I don’t push them I I just sit there and wait and if they offer me something then I’ll consider right that’s how it works so uh what about what about the other
Companies well um I have heard from a couple other companies saying that they have some new things coming so uh I think this whole push that we’ve been talking about for the last several um several ebike videos that you know maybe the companies are making some changes um
I I do tend to feel that there’s going to be some major changes in the upper ends of ebikes but there’s also going to be a lot more entrylevel style ebikes now I happened to hear uh one other channel um mention that he he uh he
Feels the same way that there’s going to be a lot more uh entry level type bikes I already said that beforehand all right um even just uh when you look at the the bike that was given to me by um by uh enu right the most recent bike that was
Um that was definitely an entrylevel bike that had a lot more stuff on it I I can’t even remember the name of the bike now this this is this is my problem with the short-term memory I just can’t remember things and then you wait to like 15 to 20 seconds
And it pops into your head right so anyway I don’t know I’ll put a I’ll put a link to to the uh not a link a photo up here so you can see what I’m talking about okay that’s an entry Lev bike right it’s that’s under what is it under
$1,200 $1,300 bike but you know it’s got a lot of good components it’s got uh powerful motor you know I I keep thinking about these bikes and I’m thinking you know if they can make entry-level bikes that can really perform against the bikes that we had that we called higher level bikes um
Just a year or two ago is there really a need for going further all right now of course if you are if you are one that wants uh you know faster speed you want higher grade components then of course there’s there’s always an uh opportunity
To make a bike like that but I tend to feel that the average person really doesn’t want that they want a decent price right you want decent price something that performs well at a decent price well you know the the nway does that so I’m thinking you know are we
Going to see more of those type of bikes come out I think we will this year I mean I think there’s a been a bit bit of a shakeup in the in the ebike industry you know uh this last year um was good but I think many of them probably felt it
Could have been better um you know there’s there’s changes I mean when when the time was where we couldn’t even get an ebike remember those days yeah about 3 years ago you have to wait forever to get an ebike yeah that’s not that’s not the case anymore bikes are readily
Available at this point some have reported that there’s an Overstock of ebikes with some companies so um they’re blowing things out like like I said I’ve been saying this for the last quite a few uh uh last couple quite a few um uh videos can’t talk today I don’t know why
And um yeah they’re they’re trying to get rid of product it seems because there’s such a discount going on in ebikes now here’s here’s what I’m going to tell you right if you want an ebike you’ve been waiting this is the time to buy last year’s ebike yeah I mean you
Could sell save a lot of money like today I well by the time you see this video it’ll be too late but uh I think today was the last of the $900 off on a rad bike okay I mean now if you don’t need the the greatest and the latest and
All that kind of stuff and but a very well performing bike yeah that Red Rover six uh six what it call it Red Rover 6 Plus yeah the Red Rover 6 Plus um that’s a very capable bike and I think they were selling that for what was it 11,100
1,200 something like that whatever $900 off their normal price was so if if you don’t need like the latest 2024 model hard to beat something like that right and will it do everything you want well most of the stuff that you want I
Mean it it is a 20 MH bike it’s Class 2 but you can unlock those bikes to 25 I mean I was able to do it on my rad Rover 5 U when you do the unlock you hit 25 mil an hour okay so the whole point is
This is that does everyone need the latest and greatest and and let me ask you this if you already have a bike are you’re still looking for the latest and greatest or are you satisfied with what you have I mean even for myself I look at the
Various bikes that were given to me and I’ve kept the number of bikes obviously I’ve solded some off uh but the ones that I’ve kept are pretty capable most of them you know will go to 28 mph they they do basically all the things I need at least here in
The Chicago area uh we don’t have a whole lot of hills and and things like that but um I don’t know whether I really need more than what I have currently is what I’m saying all right so if you’re the same way that you know
You’re not going to trade up or move up to a better bike that that’ll stagnate the industry right there too you know because the existing uh owners of bikes not moving up means less sales and of course uh who knows what this year will be for uh brand new people buying ebikes
Right whether we’ll have enough to be able to sustain the industry now uh that other video also mentioned that you know there’s there’s at least 100 or more uh ebike manufacturers I know there’s more than that because I’ve been I’ve been offered like like I said like 110 or something
That I’ve turned down so there’s got to be more companies than that I know there’s a lot of companies that are name brand companies who I’ve never heard from so I know that there’s more than that so one one person estimated over 300 something ebik companies and that was estimated like two years
Ago and we and we’ve lost some too you know they were saying that some of the ebbi companies have gone belly up so that can happen so that that kind of makes you think should we buy Brands we’ve never heard of before or should just should we just stick with brands
That have have made it up to this point and stay with them now if we do that of course that that will eliminate a lot of the competition simply because no one’s buying their bikes they’re going to go out of business or should we support those companies and just buy their
Product hoping that they don’t go out of business this is the problem with consumers right I mean you want a good deal you want something that’s going to last you want something that the company will last because if the company goes under then you need a new battery or
Something like that becomes an issue now others have said that you know there are companies who will rebuild a battery they’ll take the case from that take out the cells put new cells in there yeah there might be com do that do that but be very careful who you have messing
With your battery because that’s where the battery fires can possibly happen right because if they miswire it somehow or they have a bad CER joint somewhere and it finally goes loose and and moves around it could cause that battery fire so you really got to be very careful if
You have someone messing with your battery that you’re sending it to somebody who knows what they’re doing they have good construction technique they just go to the average guys and say I can fix your battery all right I wouldn’t trust that not with all the potential battery fires these fires
Happen of course with bad cells but they also happen with bad construction techniques I don’t think a lot of people mention that but yeah if you short something out what do you think is going to end up happening it’s going to cause a fire all right so be careful with that
Don’t don’t go forward oh let me say something else too somebody somebody came on to the channel and uh we were talking about my health remember that and he he said you know you you laugh so much that um I don’t think you’re really going to be taking this medication you
Know this is something that you should take seriously you know and you’re laughing at it I laugh at everything I finally said to him says are you new to this channel I laugh at everything no if you were serious about everything uh life wouldn’t be interesting right I I could
Be Doom and Gloom and tell you oh I’ve I’ve got diabetes I got high blood pressure oh whato was me you know what an interesting video that would make no I laugh at everything you know even in in the face of uh potential health issues uh but I’m dealing with it
Yeah so I told him yeah I says I’m already taking the blood pressure medication we’re still waiting for the U the um diabetes medication that that’s that’s been denied by insurance which we already expected would would happen because it’s very expensive expensive uh medication and um and so um there there
Is an alternative medication called metformin I think something like that which is cheaper it’s been around a long time but uh they’re trying to put me on a higher type of medication and that’s what did I say it was 1,100 something dollars for 30 pills I I could only imagine what my
Co-pay will be for something like that but uh that’s what they prefer to put me on because I’m so elevated at this point but um no I I’m I’m waiting for that and then I’ll take it when when the time comes when they finally give it to me I
I’ll take the medication that’s recommended but uh no I I laugh at everything okay I don’t take anything seriously he was concerned that I wasn’t even going to take my medications no I appreciate your concern but no I laugh at everything yeah and I’ve had other
People say that too you laugh so much I can’t stand it what would you rather hear you would rather hear some guy laughing or would you rather hear some guy that’s just dooming Gloom all the time yeah that’s not fun so anyway I digress that’s all I have for you for
Ebikes today take a look at that himiway um that link I’ll put it in the description of the video put a comment let me know what you think of these things you see from himiway and if you have any predictions again um where the industry is leading to put that
Prediction down I mean I’ve asked this many many times in videos now but as the days go by I keep seeing the changes that are actually happening in the industry that um some are going to the extreme and then others are going to the basic so where do you think it’s going
To go I think the basic is what’s going to be the big thing this year I think they’re going to try to give you a lot for the money and keep the price down so let me know anyways if you like this video go and hit the like button hit the
