Himiway D7

What the Himiway D7 is built for

The Himiway D7 is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 1,000 W hub motor and 96 Nm of torque.

It carries a 960 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 80 miles (129 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The Himiway D7 carries up to 399 lb (181 kg) including the rider, has full suspension and uses a torque sensor, so the motor responds to how hard you pedal.

In the United States the Himiway D7 sells for $2,499, above the median of $1,499 across 230 commuter e-bikes with a US price, among the premium models. That is $3 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Himiway D7 may be ridden

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 1,000 W motor is above the 250 W limit and its throttle moves it without pedalling, which the pedelec rules allow only as start-up help at walking pace. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Himiway D7 safety certification

The brand's listing for the Himiway D7 does not state a UL 2849 or EN 15194 certification. New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849 to be sold or rented there, and California requires certified batteries from 2026; ask the seller for the certificate before buying.
