Himiway D5 2.0

Coming from a Himiway Cruiser, this D5 2.0 rides like a Cadillac. If you want a smooth ride when getting your knees in the breeze, this is your bike.

Himiway D5: First Impressions (32-Mile Review)

Received the D5 2.0 2 days after Christmas. It arrived in good condition, the bike was so well packed that i think a truck could had hit the box and it would had survived. Did not need instructions to assemble, it was pretty straightforward. I have a D3 Cruiser with over 300 miles on it, so i am quite familiar with these bikes. It took a little over 35 minutes to assemble, and assembly was accomplished with the Himiway tool, a 15mm wrench, and small adjustable wrench. Once i verified air pressure and charged the battery, i took it for a ride. The soft tail suspension is a game changer. It rode easily thru grass, and of course it was smooth on the road. I like the new color computer design, and the factory thumb-controlled throttle. I had converted the throttle on my D3 from the twist-type to thumb control, it is a lot more comfortable on the hand, and safer, as you won't accidentally actuate the throttle when gripping the handlebar. We use our Himiways on off road fishing trips where the terrain can be quite rough with rocks and small holes. Compared to my D3, which does a decent job with the front suspension, It will be nice having the rear suspension to navigate the rough terrain. I included a video below comparing my D3 to the D5 2.0, and the use case for our Himiways. Can't wait to get this bike out in the wild on excursions.

Received Bike for Christmas - very well packaged, instructions were easy to follow, bike was assembled in less than an hour, case with spare nuts and bolts a welcome addition.

First and foremost: Not extremely happy with the carrier. The bike was promised many days before arrival. Made myself available to receive package with a no show. Package arrived in ok condition. Some damages to box but nothing internal. Bike was packaged very well and everything was secure. Removal somewhat of a challenge but worth the effort as contents secure and not damaged. Assembly was straightforward as the technical parts are reassembled. The bike is heavy and battery removal will reduce weight. With that said manual states that keys for battery removal attached to handle bars. That was not the case in this situation as keys were found when bike was turned over to accept the front wheel so battery was left installed after that point. Some additional help may be required in assembly more because of weight and awkwardness when turning it upside down. Rest of assembly was self explanatory. Impressed with the new sleek screen. The handle bar adjustments provide much better fit to rider. Bike quality seems awesome. I don’t like the throttle on the left side as my other bikes are on the right similar to motorcycles and such. May be a learning curve there. Battery currently charging. Looking forward to my maiden journey. More to follow?
