The HIMIWAY C5 electric motorbike takes eBikes to a whole new level

0

Electric motorbikes are a total game-changer. Similar to electric cars, they can zip around with an insane torque and don’t make a sound, unlike dirt bikes or those massive hogs that can be loud and sometimes obnoxious. As a bonus, they’re super green – no nasty exhaust fumes here! They can also be potentially easy on the wallet since they don’t need much upkeep. So, whether you’re thinking of driving one through the city or taking it out in the desert, an electric motorbike could be a good choice, and the HIMIWAY C5 could be an option worthy of your consideration.

Design

One of the things that stood out to us right away was how much the HIMIWAY C5 looked like a dirt bike. The problem with some electric motorbikes is that some of them can come across looking like a souped up bicycle. If that’s not what you want, then the C5’s design could be right up your alley. HIMIWAY C5 offers a powerful motor for an exhilarating motorcycle-like riding experience. With a robust suspension system providing long-travel shock absorption, including a 140mm mountain bike suspension system and a soft-tail frame design, the suspension performance is doubled.

HIMIWAY has also included some ambient lights along the side of the battery (which is removable, by the way). This adds a bit of style and personality, and also safety. This will be useful when you’re riding at night and you want to make sure that other drivers can see you. The lights can pulse which adds a nice effect.

Another unique, albeit novel, design feature of the C5 is the inclusion of a cupholder. Maybe not everyone needs to keep their water bottles on hand when they ride, but if you do, this is a nice and thoughtful addition that we can appreciate. This could come in handy for those who want to use the C5 for commuting to school or work. The HIMIWAY C5 offers ample customization space. Rear rack, bike basket, cup holder, mudguards… Reserved assembly holes allow for ample customization space.

The C5 also comes with an extended saddle. This is a soft and comfortable seat that will better accommodate riders of different heights so that they can get the perfect posture.

There is a built-in LCD display that will be able to show you a bunch of information at a glance. This includes cycling data, your current state of riding, fault warnings, function set, and USB charging. The handlebars also come with built-in controls for the throttle, switch, and access to the Shimano gearbox.

Performance

There are so many gas-powered motorbikes out there that electric motorbikes have to compete against. If you’re looking for a speedy bike, then the C5 will not disappoint. It comes equipped with a 750W brushless geared hub motor. It offers 750W of motor power and 86Nm max motor torque. This means that whether you’re looking for a leisurely cruise around town or climb hills up to 15-degrees in incline, the 750W motor will do just fine.

The HIMIWAY C5 also features the use of 20-inch HIMIWAY x Kenda off-road tires. The use of these thick tires means that the C5 will be able to handle a variety of terrains and surfaces. This includes gravel roads, brick roads, wetlands, sandy grounds, mountainous roads, and even snowy roads.

HIMIWAY has thoughtfully included the use of a torque sensor. This sensor can provide users with real-time electric adjustment for an optimized ride, while also ensuring optimal use of energy.

Speaking of energy, the built-in 48W 20Ah battery boasts a range of 60-80 miles on a single charge. This is pretty awesome, especially for commuting within a city because it should be more than sufficient for you to get to school or work, get around a bit to run some errands, and then go home. The company says that users should be able to get as many as 1,000 full charges before its capacity dips to 80%.

Safety features

So far, the performance features of the HIMIWAY C5 are impressive, but what about safety? The C5 comes with both front and rear disc brakes. These are hydraulic brakes, by the way. They are more responsive compared to regular disc-based brakes, so they will offer riders better safety and control.

Also, we previously mentioned that the C5’s handlebars come with access to a thumb throttle. More traditional motorbikes and even some electric motorbikes out there use a twist throttle. For more seasoned riders, this is a non-issue. But for those who are new to riding, a twist throttle can be dangerous.

This is because in an emergency situation, in a moment of panic, some might forget to release the throttle or twist it even more. By choosing to use a thumb throttle instead of a twist one, it makes it potentially safer, especially for newbies.

The frame of the C5 is also designed to be sturdy. It is made out of aerospace-grade aluminum and supports a payload of up to 330lbs. There are also other safety features like a built-in 48W front light and an auto-illuminating brake light.
