    Just died. Doesn't turn on. No power. No screen - Broke AGAIN

    So correct me if I am wrong, you were checking the battery voltage at the farme mounted male connectors and not the female connects on the battery it self? I recently checked my voltage when I had the battery for charging (never charge it on bike). At the battery terminals I saw very similar...

    Personally I think we will all be a lot happier when we can find other sources and not have to deal with CCP Chinese companies.

    Difficulty Selling an eBike

    You may be better off to break it down and sell each component separately.

    Difficulty Selling an eBike

    I have said for decades "a warranty is only as good as the company offering it". Think this proves my point. BTW why not name the company that left you without a warranty? By doing so you may save someone in another country the problem you now have.

    Known Issues & Problems with Himiway Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Yes indeed the Himiway bikes are very close to Rad bikes as they are built by the same OEM company in China. In fact that same company makes bikes for a surprising number of Brands. The company's name is HAIDONG.

    Short E-Bike Warranties: Are They A Problem?

    I'm curious what was the price compared to a direct marketed bike with similar specs. I would hazard a guess at least twice as much. When you look at that way kinda makes the warranty look really expensive IMHO. I have always said a warranty is only as good as the company offering. Most of...

    Short E-Bike Warranties: Are They A Problem?

    That's why most new BMWs are leased instead of purchased. They are notorious for expensive maintenance and out of warranty repairs. Personally I don't know why people keep driving them.

    Short E-Bike Warranties: Are They A Problem?

    For the most part you are dealing with offshore Chinese companies that from what I have read are not doing a good job when it comes to warranty claims. This also goes for "name brand" bikes bought at the local bike shops with costs many times more. Parts availability seems to be the biggest...

    Abrubt Acceleration.....

    There you go the throttle is the answer. I would not set you max speed that low, just do as you have learned with the throttle

    Abrubt Acceleration.....

    I have Himiway All Terrain and experienced the same as you until I tuning using the settings in the display. A suggestion is to use your throttle to start then start pedaling. I find that I control fine motor power with the throttle, your setup may not work the same.

    Difficulty Selling an eBike

    No, but with current supply issues in China even those mfgs that use high quality Samsung cells are having to use other cells just to keep bikes moving on the assembly line. This is the same with other components on the bikes as well like brakes, seats even motors.

    Rad Mission lemon or are they all garbage?

    Sounds like a solid plan. There are lots of Youtube videos that should help you learn about basic things like brake adjustments, shifting adjustments etc. Have you contacted RAD customer service and requested they send someone to sort your problems under warranty? I would push them hard to fix...

    Rad Mission lemon or are they all garbage?

    OMG man these shops are playing you. I don't think these ebikes use Master Links, the chains are riveted most of time. What was wrong with the what you call the tensioner? I get really concerned when someone I have paid to work on something of mine is always bashing my item. Doesn't sound very...

    Rad Mission lemon or are they all garbage?

    I wonder if you have thought that the Local Shop you had assemble the bike might have screwed it up? I'm also wondering why you paid someone to do the little assembly necessary with any of these bikes. Generally its mount front wheel and attach the handle bars. Just saying seems like you...

    Known Issues & Problems with Himiway Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Have you opened the batteries? A month ago I contacted Himiway tech support for information on the batteries. They asked for the serial number on the battery and answered back with the type of cells used in my battery. At the same time they told me they used 3 vendors for the batteries. What...

    controller upgrade

    Ok great info thanks. Like I said am considering a front sprocket change, but in reality don't need to run that fast most times. I am waiting for Bolton Ebike to come out with their upgraded 35 amp controller that will be plug and play for the Himiway bikes. Bolton already has an upgrade...
