    Down between 2 choices!

    The 6'5" is a lifelong consideration. That combined with my size 16EEEE feet have kept me out of many a car I would have liked to of owned or built.

    OK!!! It is DONE! I ordered the Himiway D7 Cobra Pro with the rack, fenders, bag, and mirrors. It was a LOT of money but if I can really ride it and lose the weight, it is worth EVERY penny. THANKS for the help - I APPRECIATE it! Why the D7? The Grolar is a sound bike on paper for sure and...

    Offshore ebike manufacturers to disappear in 2025

    IMHO the upside is the major makers of components will probably still be around Bafang is not going anywhere for example. The bigger unknown is that China's economy is a disaster.

    You have helped me before THANKS, I APPRECAITE your knowledgeable input! I still have your list of upgrades for the Cobra. I managed to screw my hip up in July and that has delayed this purchase. It is better now so I am ready to go. Kind of a good thing as the Himiway hub motor is now 1,000...

    Add a motor to Hemiway?

    EXACTLY why I am considering a second motor. A Hub drive backup.

    Add a motor to Hemiway?

    THANKS Everyone! It sounds like it may be better to be equipped with the tools and parts to take care of the most likely problems and my cell and AAA card for the others! On a side not, I TRULY appreciate this input and forum knowledge overall.

    Add a motor to Hemiway?

    Hello, Is it possible to add a hub motor to a Hemiway Cobra D7 Pro? The bike has a mid-drive now, but it also can be bought with a rear hub drive as well. My thought would be to add a 750-watt hub drive motor to the rear as an entirely separate system with its own battery and controller. This...

    How do you all use your E-BIKES? Do you go out riding with friends or do you enjoy the experience on your own?

    Not a lot of GGeorge Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers fans here. 😁

    THANKS for your feedback. I am 95% sold on the bike, a lot of it is because of that motor and value.

    Bike for a Big Guy

    I also like the Wired Freedom, it has 2 batteries and plenty of power, just wish I could ride it before I buy it. I seem to be a little tall for the Blix bikes.

    Bike for a Big Guy

    mrgold35!!!! Thank you VERY MUCH! SUPER helpful, the Himiway is on my short list, I only have 2 hesitations. 1, the shock in the center is clearly not rated for a huge amount of weight, the suspension is levered so I know it is not 1:1, but does the shock seem adequate for your use? What psi did...

    Bike for a Big Guy

    The stepper is an interesting gizmo. I am in the USA, while some states have a "watt limit" (750 in Maryland) it is totally bogus and not enforceable in any way. There is no stated load of work, is it continuous operation, is it peak, is it nominal? There is no way to measure this mythical...

    Bike for a Big Guy

    WOW! I am truly lucky to have found this great resource - THANK YOU! I apparently have some misconceptions! In reality, it is not the volts that matter it is really the amps, that is where the power comes from. I mentioned 60 volt only because the ones I looked at had high amp controllers. I see...

So many choices. First off, I am 57, 6'5" 400lbs. I got fat when I broke my back and slid into some very bad...
