Himiway Speed Unlocked! 

Thanks so much for showing us it's possible to untap the Zebra's potential. Himiway should be grateful to you because you will undoubtedly convince many people to buy it who would otherwise have passed it up in favor of a faster throttle bike.

Another good and helpful video, thank you. I'm sure you just made all the Himiway zebra owners very happy,. I used to own one of the original Cruisers from Himiway. And when they came up with a zebra, I was very disappointed with the limited top speed. So this will give a lot of people a better option when they are looking at this bike, good job!!!

I really like these how to customize videos. Love those extra fat tires too along with the other "upgrades ". Nice!

Good day! A lot going on this past week. I just bought 2 himiway zebra step through ebike. And a few moments ago I just order the KD718 electronic unit and yes I used you as where I learned about the unit from you on RU-vid. Also ordered 2 Limos ultra smart bike helmets. Oh and the cloud 9 seat. Thank you for all you do. Michael

Citizen Cycle: In my pass comments i said after installing my new display i only went up 2 mph. After learning how to use new display I'm getting over 30 mph. Thanks, you the man.

Cool info. Love that the new display has watts. You are right. Street slicks would add another boost in speed (due to lower rolling resistance compared to knobbies). Not as loud, either. Regarding the warranty. Don't throw away the original display, and swap it back in if you need a warranty repair.

I was looking how to make my escape pro faster and this was very helpful! Was able to order a brand new KD718 for $110 and this video was super helpful! Props to you!!!

This is the exact same display that was on my Magicycle cruiser! It’s crazy to see how interchangeable the parts are between companies

Awesome video thank you so much, this is one of the bikes that I have been thinking of lately. It’s between this one and another two and I’m trying to narrow down my choice.

Genius and practical. Looks amazing.......

Love it, saw it on Bri's life on Morrow Hill, amazing how it works , Jake from Shirtless Jake's, and Bri best brother and sister fun riding this amazing bike🔆💖 the terrain it covers is unreal

Now that's a killer bike 😁👍👍.. great information 👍💀

The Zebra is a good bike. It can be a good logical purchase for many people. But for people interested in performance the Zebra has the same problem as the other 26 inch fat tire bikes. An $1800 Kepler. Goes faster, climbs better, and doesn't require any mods to do it. The Kepler was a perfect fit for your great channel Citizen. I wish you could have worked it out to get your hands on one.

I didn’t realize it wasn’t maxed out yet, I take back what I said on the other video haha. Thanks for this review!

I researched buying my new Himiway Zebra 2 years before I bought it. Your videos helped me make an informed decision. Currently from your video I went out and bought that speed controller. The exact one in your video. After installing it my bike felt much faster. Looking at speedometer I was going only about 2 mph faster. So I'm currently going at it with the Ebay seller...lol..He seems not to know what I'm talking about. Poor guy...Answer to your question, I'm 280 pounds...lol...I know what your thinking. To that I can only say, my zebra rode my 280 at 25mph no problem. So I'm thinking this controller must give me those additional 5mph even at my overweight self...lol Tell me what you think!...lol

Now i only need to hit that “buy” button for a himiway ebike to pair with the display you just convinced me that I want 😆

The bike looks really cool

Thanks Man - - - Now to get My Zebra - - - ->>>. Nice fender mod !!!! Now You call it " Dialed " baby !!!

I've seen these around and still gotta order one of these for my Himiway Escape Pro. I know they used to let everyone unlock them but changed that in the firmware in recent times.

I like the WIDER handlebar idea 👍. Oh yeah they are definitely going to CANCEL the WARRANTY on bike/modifications!😂 .Ride On!

You should check out PrestonPettyProducts that makes a plastic fender for dirt bikes. They make a Muder fender that might fit inside your forks and across those wider tires. They come in silver color which would look great on your Zebra. Preston Petty offered the first plastic fenders for dirt bikes way back in the 1960's that transformed dirt bikes to their light weight unbreakable ones you see all dirt bikes have today. I know. I was there. Haha! Great video on unlocking the Himiway bike's speed. Lots of folks will like that upgrade for sure.

This works on some bikes and not others. The LS (Limit Speed) parameter setting normally only determines the speed limit of pedal assistance. If you exceed the limit, the PAS is zero.. Throttle speed is usually limited at the controller level on most ebikes with no access to change it on the display. The workaround is to set the tire diameter small enough so that when you set the speed display to kph, your speedometer will actually show the right number for mph. The drawback is that your odometer reading will be understated by 61.29% in kilometers. There are some aftermarket displays that disable the throttle limit on certain bike models. This can only be due to a hidden display menu in the factory display unit that controlled the throttle limut setting that is missing in the aftermarket display.

This is why i sub'd to your channel. Good stuff Citizen. What about using that new display on a different brand ebike to achieve the same speed limiter increase??

Brian, Excellent content. (as usual) Finally I'm hearing it from you, now WE or I am anyway hoping that Himi or any other smart ebike company will do the same. That is the Citizen Cycle collaboration with _____________ all the little things that add up. A horn, a mirror, 30 plus mph, hydro disc brakes, seat post suspension, descent grips, charger with a fan, the list goes on................... non-proprietary parts. The screen "plug and play" is the nucleus. Shiite, I've learned so much here from you. Patreon yet? I will kick start that pledge with 200.00 USD (2 hondo) and come first of the year another Hondo. Some standarized stuff needs to happen. an integrated brake light with a "DESCENT" headlight. A hidden GPS tracker for the thieves to go after other bait. Tom here (seriousKboarding) Ride ON! Please show this to your wife 300.00 on the vine....................give aways, guessing games etc. Silver plaque and 75 k more subs. Sharing is HUUUUUUge!

That's a nice looking bike, I would turn it into a trail bike, upgrade the fork, new derailleur new stem, new handlebars.

I got the exact same display for my cruiser last year. Works perfect and is a needed upgrade. Why Himiway shot themselves in the foot by no longer being able to modify their display, as you could with the old models. Magicycles doesn't do this.. Btw, my cruiser does over 28mph with throttle only on a flat bike path, and I'm exactly 200lbs.

I love plug and play ;-)

May spend for one on my Zebra, thanks. Good question: mid drive will the Cobra Pro motor fit? A great system would be 1000 watt mid drive and a 750 to 1000 watt front hub drive. Then set the front up with PAS only and rear on the cobra system you could add thumb control also. I would also add one to two battery extra.

Great video. You'll have to let us know it the display works with an Aventon Adventure.

Thank you so much. Its a shame that you can not change the front sprocket for a bigger 52 tooth sprocket.

I have the himiway big dog and i love it!! Ive been doing research on a upgraded display, but there is two to choose from the kd718 & the kd986 im wondering if the 986 is a newer version? Have you seen the kd986?

Is there a switch for your lights on there? Thanks for the great reviews 😀👍

I have a class 3, 48V bike. Stock top speed is around 33 at full charge. I wanted to squeeze a little more so I added 5psi to the tires. It's a stiffer ride now, but I'm used to hard-ass road race bikes @110psi. 5psi has increased acceleration tremendously over 17/18 recommended psi. Increased top speed by 2 mph even as the battery discharges, whereas it didn't previously. However, still not being satisfied, I added thicker, premium tubes, tire liners and liquid flat-out. Increased psi to 27. (yeah, I know. I'm really pushing these stock Kendas). Acceleration is even quicker according to the accelerometer. Top speed now varies from 34-36, of course depending on battery level, wind, road type, etc. This is impressive considering I'm not a lightweight guy. 260lbs. on a good day. I'm toying with the idea of going to 30psi just to try it. I'll likely regret it as I don't believe the tires can handle it. One or two good ruts and that might be a blowout. I'll be sure to stay near the house if I do. 😬🤕

Himiway offers at a price a speed controller for steady speed instead of the jerking like vehicles with electrical motors do. Do you think I need to buy the speed controller too or does the new display accommodate that mode as well?

You have Great Videos. Would that work on a MAGIC CYCLE ?? and would it help out if I got a bigger CONTROLLER with more AMP'S ???

Just a reminder to bike mod guys most bikes will have a bafang rear hub or mid drive. The unit he installed is the newest bafang hud. It should pug into any 750w+ rear hub or mid drive that is bafang. Even unbranded motors are likely bafang unless the motor says Bosch.

Nice 👍 is there some way to increase the speed on a lectric 1.0?

Hey Citizen, Nice video! I installed the KD718 color display on my Zebra ST and what a difference. It’s the same display that Magicycle is using. My top speed is now 30mph! With the stock display even with it unlocked you could feel the bike pulling back at 25mph and it was quite aggravating. Also it became obvious that Himiway had neutered the bike so they could advertise long range. I would like to decide myself how much available power I would like to unleash. Even though the bike is a heavy beast I can now use it’s full potential or also detune the bike if I want range. Ideally the Zebra would be the almost perfect bike if it had the power of the Kepler. Thanks!

Does this use the same plug as the G-Force ZF? That's also 750W 48V, so the only question is the plug.

Hey CitizenCycle, since this is all but the same as the original Magicycle cruiser display, will it play nice with it? Since it can adjust the mph all the way to 56mph than can it help the Magicycle( cannot adjust pass 28mph)? Have you tried it on the Magicycle?

So many people want to know if you can add a torque sensor to these Himiway like they have on the Cobra. Can you please look into this?! So many people on the forums would be happy to do this upgrade and I think this is the perfect bike to demo it on.

I think the ghost wanted a go on it as well.

Great info! Besides ease of use does the upgraded display provide more functionally than the original display? Am I mistaken in thinking that the max speed setting of the Zebra can be set with the original display?

Have You tried spoke skins on the Zebra step through yet ? I did and got very bad rubbing on the front wheel. The brake caliper is so close to the spokes the skins can't be free of it. I had to remove all on the left side of the wheel.

Hope the brakes are good enough for that!!

Love your channel. E bike info is great. Just wondering if you will ever have a juiced ripcurrent 2022 1000 watt on the channel for a review THANKS .

Ok so I just ordered the display, hope it works

Well I bought it for my cruiser and I will find out tomorrow

Hi in the uk the throttle on the himiway cobra bike has been restricted to 5 to 6 mph, so its put me off buying one, will this replacement screen unlock this restriction.

Have you tried the 4” tannus liners on those extra fat tires?

I was out on mine the other day , got my brake problem fixed , the brake sensors needed to be adjusted. I have mine to top out at 33 MPH . Which is fast enough!! It will do 45 top speed if I open it up!!

Does anyone know why my bike (another brand), that uses a Key Display does literally nothing when I change the max speed setting?

What is a Zebra "Florida Limited Edition"? {blue color} I researched the display settings control panel because mine, received two days ago, was different than the instructions...

That bike looks a lot like the Velotric Nomad 1 that I just bought.

Good morning,for some reason I cannot go back to the parts like handle bars neck,tires too. I would like to buy these parts and install them. Please if you can let me know how to see them on the Amazon site again. Also can I put that 4.8 tire safely on the rims that bike has now and also what about tubes and inside pieces for the rims?. I’m hoping I don’t have to change the rims to wider wheels. Please let me know if possible about these aftermarket upgrades. Thanks a bunch.. I have zebras on order

I bought one works great put on my excape pro. Then got hit by a car. But will get another one

Nice bike... Do you plan on tricking it out like the citizen cycle?? That zebra is a nice looking bike.

Great video my wife wants those handle bars that you have installed...any problems with the installation?...also I see you have all your bikes upright on the wall behind you ..interested in the brackets you have used and how hard is it to get that zebra in that upright position..Thanks for the info on the video.

Hi I like your videos I'm a big ebike fan I've had about 5 different ebikes some from China alilbaba I was thinking about doing a few videos

Wonder if that would work on a Sondors Madmods

Where did you get the suspension seat post from my dude?

Is this the same screen on the MagiCycle ?

Himiway Cobra what is the maximum speed after removing the blockade from the 250 watt motor🤔🙏

Sorry dumb question but do the tires fit on original rim? Tnx.

Is there a version of that lcd that comes with the original switch. Or can the original switch be used?

Great Video.....Jay. I'm Excited...🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Is that the new one they just updated? @CitizenCycle

Will it work on any Denago, Kasen, Elux, Tesgo, and Vitilan?

Wouldn't this wear the bearings out faster and potentially overheat the motor?

It would look cool if you stained the wood rear rack gray

I get my zebra in 2 days and I can't wait.

What is the app you use for gauging speed?

Hi mate great videos. Do you how I can unlock the throttle? I’m in the uk just bought this bike and unlocked the peddle assist ok but throttle still only does 4 mph? Great bike though. Rules much stricter in the uk😩😩🤬

Anyone know if this will work for the newer Himiway Escape Pro?

So ready to buy one until the base price tag of $120.

Wow that's expensive. I got an unlocked screen for my bike which admittedly is not as nice for 27.50 Canadian on Aliexpress and got it in 10 days. I just had to splice the wires as it's a proprietary 7 pin with 5 pins for the controller and 2 for the headlight and horn. I hate it when bike manufacturers lock the settings.

I have a 2021 cruiser max speed is 28. Do you think it will increase it by 7 or just above 30?

I just bought the zebra (from a UK dealer ) and didnt know about the throttle speed being factory restricted to 6 mph in the UK! Apparently its an EU rule. The bike is for my wife who due to health reasons can't pedal the bike which is why I went for the throttle control one. Do you know if this would bypass this problem?

Hmm..after installing the exact display I only got about 3 mph faster. Although on that very cold evening my bike as I rode it it seems to be moving faster. I didn't have time to make any adjustments to settings. Or maybe I bought a defected display. I have a warrantee so at worse I can return it. What do you think Citizen Cycle?

I'm ordering the bike next week. Wish someone lived close to teach me what peddle assistant means. I just want to use throttle anyways

Curious about the KD display working with my cruiser. Its a 2020 model which i can get pas/throttle to go that fast as it is if i unlocked it but i like too the ease of use with it changing settings and such

Hey citizen nice video as always I appreciate u taking time to do these videos I have 2 question can u still control the lights with the new display & does it show the icon on the screen thanks

Great video! Just a question, do you know if this will work with Radrover 6plus? TIA❤️

Hi, will this work on the Engwe E26?

does this work on the Himiway Big Dog?

I bet with some vee 3.5 speed tires it will go faster lol, just ordered a pair of those to

Couldn't you just add any display that bafang uses since it's the same connection

I wonder if this would unlock the eu motor so it can be set higher then 250w, unless it's a different motor of course.

Hey thanks for this! Just wondering if there is a way to turn on the headlight with the kd controller? It doesn't have the headlight button...

I installed the kd718 but i get a code 30 The display works but when i start to peddle the error code appears Any ideas?

How are the brakes?

Thanks for the video Citizen. I bought and just received the new display. Unfortunately it didn’t change the top speed on my Himiway cruiser. I’ve looked through and tried changing all the settings. It even says 56mph. Still tops out at 26.2. Tried propping it up on the kickstand like you, same 26.2. Any ideas?

Is the cobra capable of unlocking 30mph?

HI,,,ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO,,,🙂. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE WITH THE 718 AND THE 986,,?

So is this faster than the Cobra Pro 1000W?

Headlights?

Hello, I would love to buy your OLD Himiway Zebra display...

Not sure if you can help, but you don't know until you ask. I have the Himiway Cruiser and have trouble with the throttle. I open it up and it barely gets me moving. Any tips as to how I can solve this? Pedal assist works just fine, but due to health problems, I can't peddle too much, or I could end up stranded and unable to pedal at all. Many thanks in advance, Steve (England)

I’m in the UK where throttles are just 6kph walk assist. Will this new screen controller allow me to use the throttle normally?

You can go even faster in an ambulance.

Can you please link parts you brought for handlebars? I have the white zebra and hate the handlebars as I’m a short woman and it’s very uncomfortable riding. Thanks for the info.
