    Used E-Bike values, is the situation reversed from 2021? Buyers market?

    I just sold my Himiway cruiser today. Bought if for 1000 last year used but with 0 miles and a few scratches from a drop and sold it today for 1200, with about 120 miles on it with a few extras I added on. Two responses, both offered 1000 sight unseen but I held out for my asking price and got...

    Can you recommend to me a good bike for 1500 or less, details follow

    Lets just agree to disagree. If you want to spend 4 grand on a bicycle, electric or otherwise, thats fine. The complexity of a bike compared to a motorcycle, even two that are priced the same new, say 4-5k is easy to distinguish. A working motor, brakes, electronics, tires that can travel up...

    What is the Himiway Cruiser step through seat height, TIA

    A few more pics from today. I went over the bike, tightened a few things up and made some adjustments so it fits me better. It has a really good throttle response, thats for sure. Heavy bike, really dont need the gears where I live, leave it in 7 and just pedal with a bit of roll on and you...

    Anyone buy a returned bike from Ride1Up?

    I'll put this out in case anybody is interested. I got another email on Friday offering me a new Lmt'd with some minor cosmetic damage. Its the gray frame, hasn't been assembled yet. I passed on it since I had a lead on a Himiway that I got for a much cheaper price. But if you sign up for...

    Can you recommend to me a good bike for 1500 or less, details follow

    I thought I would follow up to this thread since its the first I started looking for a bike. I took a trip yesterday down to Raleigh and brought back a very slightly used Himiway Cruiser with less than a mile on it but with a few bumps and bruises. The lady that bought it hadn't gotten too...

    What is the Himiway Cruiser step through seat height, TIA

    No need to ask anymore, I picked up the bike today. Bike has less than 2 miles on it and I probably put most of that on in a test ride.

    What is the Himiway Cruiser step through seat height, TIA

    That is from the pedal, I was looking for the height to the ground. Thanks.

    What is the Himiway Cruiser step through seat height, TIA

    Thanks, I do have a good amount of bike seat time in my earlier years, I'm just trying to keep the seat height down as much as possible.

    What is the Himiway Cruiser step through seat height, TIA

    Howdy. I have a lead on a slightly used Himiway cruiser, the step through model. Seller says the seat height is 32 inches, but I just wanted to verify that. I'm trying to avoid a bike with a high seat height and cross bar since I have a couple of replacement hips and 29" inseam. I'm ok with...

    A Polaris Terrain E-bike just popped up locally, but with a little problem

    Boy, you guys are tough. Yeah I'm thinking along the same lines. I may have given him 100 bucks for it, but not much more.

    A few pictures that he sent me. Not quite the same as those in the original CL ad.

    A Polaris Terrain E-bike just popped up locally, but with a little problem

    I had a fairly long conversation with the owner this afternoon. Bike was pushed off a pier, he pulled it out, rinsed it off. Says he sprayed everything with wd40. Says brakes, fork, wheels still spin fine. I told him it would probably cost around 800 for a kit and battery to convert it. He...

    A Polaris Terrain E-bike just popped up locally, but with a little problem

    One just showed up locally. Looks really nice in the pictures. But... Description says it was pushed off a pier and that means salt water. From the ad: The controller and the display are not working now. The battery was brand new on the bike 400.00 but I have an excellant condition spare...

    Anyone buy a returned bike from Ride1Up?

    So I jut got another email saying the owner of the bike decided to keep it. Oh well. All this has caused me to look at the fine print on the return process for these companies. In R1U case, if you never take it out of the box they will charge you 250 to return it. If you cancel the purchase...

    Anyone buy a returned bike from Ride1Up?

    The bike is not at their warehouse, it is at the buyers address. What they are trying to do is have it shipped only once, rather than bring it back to Nevada and then ship it again.
