The Himiway Zebra is a very big, comfortable fat tyre e-bike. Like a lot of bikes this size, it can be tricky to manoeuvre at low speed and you aren't going to find yourself doing much riding above the assistance limit - but it's a well-built example of a popular style of bike and certainly not too outlandishly priced. Whether you love them or loathe them, fat tyre e-bikes are here to stay. These bikes usually weigh over 30kg and have big tyres that create a lot of unnecessary rolling resistance.

Bebopping with Rocksteady: This Huge and Heavy Commuter Boasts Heaps of Power and Long Range Potential Product names are extremely important, as they need to convey the spirit and substance of a thing in a concise manner. Enter the Himiway Rhino – also known as the D5 Ultra – a true beast of an e-bike
Ride long and fast with dual 48V, 720 Wh batteries (a total capacity of 1,440 Wh!) and a solid 15 mph speed with low assist!
Incredible stability while riding due to the massive custom Kenda/Himiway 26”x4.5” fat tires and overall weight of 104 lbs.
A comfortable ride with high seating, a wide, cruiser-style saddle, and ergonomic rubber grips.
If speed and power are appealing, you’ll love the punchy throttle!
Made to fit big & tall riders, with a height range up to 6’4” and a total weight capacity of 400 lbs.
A mid-drive motor helps the D5 Ultra respond like a normal bike, but amplifies your pedal effort.
The quality 10-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain offers functional gearing for a heavy bike.
We recommend that Himiway upgrade the brake system. Tektro’s E350 model works well on most bikes, but a stronger 4-piston system would be more suited to handle the D5 Ultra’s weight.
Another tradeoff of weight: this bike is likely to be tough to lift and transport.
Not an outright con, but this mid-drive behaved differently than most. If you’re used to that type of motor, this will likely take some getting used to.

This pedal-friendly, all-terrain powerhouse ssssssseriously pushes the limits of offroad e-bike possibilities. Many e-bikes in the increasingly popular and versatile fat tire category are labeled as “all-terrain,” but few (in our experience) can put the corresponding walk into that talk. The Himiway Cobra Pro has no such issue. This upgraded version of the company’s already
A true all-terrain e-bike! The Cobra Pro’s full suspension, beefy mid-drive motor, responsive torque sensor, and massive 26” x 4.8” knobby tires allow the bike to feel comfortable and capable on the same rough trails and loose terrain that dirt bikes frequent.
Climbs hills like a boss! A fierce 1000W motor with up to 160 Nm of torque gives the Cobra Pro all the grit it needs to surmount even the steepest summits.
Fantastic range! The combination of a gigantic 960 Wh battery and a practical level of power in Eco Mode / PAS 1 provides an impressive maximum range. We traveled over 60 miles on a single charge.
Great bang for the buck! For its price point of around $4000, the Cobra Pro performs well and is outfitted with a respectable array of quality components. Without a significant jump in price, you’d be hard pressed to find a better-specced all-terrain workhorse.
A solid and stable bike with the ability to move tall and/or heavy people. The Cobra Pro feels completely able to match its claimed capability of hauling riders between 5’-5” to 6’-6” and up to 400 lbs.
Ride customization! With a 10-speed drivetrain, 5 PAS levels in both Eco and Sport modes, and the ability to adjust top speed through the bike’s user interface, the Cobra Pro’s ride feel can be tailored to fit its environment.
User-friendly interface. The bike’s full-color LCD display shows all relevant ride data clearly, and includes a greatly appreciated percentage-based battery life indicator.
While we always appreciate seeing hydraulic disc brakes on e-bikes, we felt that the 180 mm rotors used by the Cobra Pro didn’t quite meet our expectations. An upgrade to 204 mm rotors would provide a better balance to the bike’s weight and power.
Such a powerful mid-drive motor will require good shifting etiquette. Shifting under load will quickly wear down your cassette meaning you’ll have to do maintenance more frequently if you’re not careful.
