Common questions
Is the Himiway D5 (Zebra) street legal in the US?
At 250W it is well inside the 750W federal ceiling for a low-speed electric bicycle, so federal law treats it as a bicycle rather than a motor vehicle. States then sort eBikes into three classes by how fast the motor keeps helping — 20 mph for classes 1 and 2, 28 mph for class 3 — and set their own rules on paths, helmets and minimum age, so the detail is state by state.
How far will the Himiway D5 (Zebra) go on one charge?
The manufacturer claims 96-128 km (60-80 miles) (about 80 miles). Treat that as a ceiling rather than a figure to plan around: claimed ranges come from the lowest assist level on flat ground with a light rider, and hills, cold weather, tyre pressure and rider weight all take a bite out of it.
How long does the Himiway D5 (Zebra) take to charge?
About 7 hours from empty with the supplied charger.
How much does the Himiway D5 (Zebra) weigh?
35.8 kg. That is heavy. Fine to ride, but plan for ground-floor or shed storage: carrying it up stairs is a two-person job.
Can the speed limiter on the Himiway D5 (Zebra) be removed?
No — this model is locked at the standard assist limit with no setting to change it. In the US, raising the limit past your state's class pushes the bike out of the bicycle category: it can need registration, insurance and a helmet, it loses access to paths that only allow bicycles, and an insurer will treat it that way after an accident. We record the setting because it decides what a bike can legally be, not to suggest you change it.
Does the Himiway D5 (Zebra) have a torque sensor?
Yes — a torque sensor, which scales assistance to how hard you push. It feels more like riding a bicycle than a throttle, and it is generally the more natural of the two systems.
What brakes does the Himiway D5 (Zebra) have?
Tektro hydraulic disc, 180mm rotors front and rear. Hydraulic discs need less hand force and hold up better in the wet and on long descents than cable-operated ones. That matters more on a bike this heavy.
How much weight can the Himiway D5 (Zebra) carry?
181 kg (400 lb) payload capacity, including the rider. Subtract your own weight to see what is left for luggage, a child seat or shopping.

Compare with a similar bike
One tap to put the Himiway D5 (Zebra) head-to-head with a comparable eBike.
Protect your new bike
A good lock is the one thing worth sorting the day it arrives — it is what most insurers ask about, and it is what actually stops an opportunist.
Lock — FoldyLock Elite
A super-flexible folding lock — easy to wrap around an eBike frame and lock to almost anything. The mount doesn’t rattle, and the key slides in and out and locks smoothly (plenty of locks don’t — it saves a real headache). We run the matching pair ourselves — two locks, six identical keys, so both our eBikes open with the same key — genuinely convenient. ART 3 / Sold Secure Gold rated, the certification level many insurance policies ask for.
Insurance and registration
The two we use and recommend — Bikmo insurance and the Bike Register database — are UK-only, so we are not going to point you at them from here. Both exist in most countries under another name: ask your own insurer whether an eBike is covered on a home policy, and look for the national frame-number register where you live.
We genuinely use and rate these. Nothing in this section earns us anything.
