Hi ,

Happy Friday! I hope you are doing well, staying healthy, and getting out for some rides.

Here is your update from Electric Bike Report, along with 2 new e-bike reviews!

Himiway Cruiser Review – 2021

The Himiway brand was created by Mike Magaruh in 2017. Mike traveled around Asia familiarizing himself with e-bike manufacturers, and the component brands behind them. He then put his knowledge to use to create the Himiway brand which combines reputable componentry with a rugged outdoor design. With this in mind, we’ve looked forward with great anticipation for our chance to review the Himiway Cruiser. For this review Electric Bike Report tested both the step-thru and regular Cruiser models.

The Himiway Cruiser is a powerful all-terrain fat bike that specializes in trudging through snow, sand, and most any other surface while also destroying hill climbs. Priced right around $1,500, we think the Himiway Cruiser and Step-thru offer a lot of value – just be prepared and know that you are getting a powerful e-bike that takes off quickly and is super fast, so hold on tight!

Swytch Electric Bike Conversion Kit Review – 2021

Electric bike conversion kits don’t really get the attention they deserve on many e-bike review sites; the best ones offer an economic and easy way into e-biking and a way to keep riding an existing bike, possibly your old-time favorite, that could do with a lease of life thanks to electric assist. I tested the Swytch Universal eBike conversion kit to see if it really did prove to be as easy and effective as it looked on paper.

Swytch are a UK-based company and since their formation in 2017 has been on a mission; to produce the most versatile, lightweight retrofit electric assist system out there. They have chosen a straightforward-looking system of front hub motor ready-spoked into a rim, handlebar-mounted battery and controller and a pedal sensing disc to provide motor power when the rider starts pedaling (there is also a throttle option, not tested here).
