Himiway C1: An Electric Balance Bike for Children
How the C1 Differs from Traditional E-bikes
In many ways, the Himiway C1 is exempt from the same regulations as e-bikes. This distinction is because C1 is categorized as a balance bike rather than an e-bike.
According to the laws and regulation of electric bicycles, they must have the following characteristics:
- ✔ Have pedals
- ✔ Go less than 30 mph
- ✔ Have a motor that can't have more than 750 watts
Small electric balance bikes without pedals (such as Himiway C1) typically are not covered under ebike laws. An electric balance bikes are typically not subject to strict regulations because they are not intended for use on public roads or bike paths.
Design and Features of the Himiway C1 as a Balance Bike
The C1 has a lower maximum speed compared to traditional e-bikes. While other Himiway e-bikes can achieve up to 25 mph speeds, the C1's maximum speed is capped at 15 mph. This inherently makes the C1 a safer choice for younger riders. The C1 is designed to be ridden without pedaling, making it ideal for younger children who may not have developed the pedaling skills required for traditional bicycles.

Built with a lightweight aluminum frame, fitted with 16-inch tires, and driven by a 350W motor, the C1 is just the right e-bike for your kids. Its motor derives power from a 360 Wh Samsung battery, granting an impressive range of up to 50 miles on a single charge.
