Comparison of Major Features

Let’s get right into it with a comparison of the major features you’ll want to consider when looking at these two e-bikes:

Additional Specs

Electrical Comparison

	Himiway Cruiser	Aventure	Why is it important?
Battery	17.5Ah (840Wh)	15Ah (720Wh)	The larger the battery, the longer you can travel on a single charge.
Charger	48V 2 Amp	48V 3 Amp	The charger is how you “refuel” your bike with electricity.
Throttle	Twist	Thumb	Many e-bike enthusiasts prefer twist throttles as they can be easier to control and are similar to a classic motorcycle throttle. Throttle preference is according to each rider’s unique style.
Motor	750W 48V Brushless gear motor	750W 48 V Brushless Rear hub motor	Both bikes use powerful 750W 48V rear motors which are comparable. These motors are both higher power than many Rad Rover e-bike motors.
Pedal Assist	Yes - customizable	Yes – non-customizable	Himiway Pedal Assist can be customizable so you can set your power and pedal assist levels. This allows you to control your max speed and allows the Himiway bike to be both a Class 2 as well as Class 3 e-bike.
LCD Screen	Yes	Yes	LCD screens are important to view speed and battery power. Himiway offers large font on a backlit screen for easy visibility while Aventure offers color.
Controller	Yes	Yes	The controller holds the central processing of the e-bike, collecting the input from sensors, controlling the battery, and relaying the information to the bike screen for the rider.
Lights	Yes	Yes	The larger and brighter the lights, the safer and more visible you will be to other riders, pedestrians and vehicles. Both bikes come with headlights and brake lights.

Mechanical Comparison

	Himiway Cruiser	Aventure	Why is it important?
Brakes	Mechanical disc brakes (with safety cut off sensor)	Hydraulic (with safety cut off sensor)	Stopping power is important when emergencies on the trail or road present themselves.
Gears	7 Gears	8 Gears	Different gears will allow you to climb and descend hills with more ease. Himiway has a thumb shifter while Aventure has a finger and thumb mechanism.
Suspension Fork	Alloy Fork 80mm of Travel with lockout	Zoom Forgo Fork 80mm of Travel with lockout	Suspension forks help absorb bumps in the road and both bikes have comparable parts in this category.
Frame	6061 Aluminum	6061 Aluminum	6061 Aluminum alloy is well tested and trusted as industry standard in the e-bike community.

Physical Comparison

	Himiway Cruiser	Aventure	Why is it important?
Quick Release Front Wheel	Yes	No	A quick-release front wheel allows you to stow or transport your bike easier than with a wrench system.
Rear Rack	Yes	No	Cargo functionality is important for adding bags and accessories to your electric bike. The Himiway Rear Rack comes standard while the Aventure is sold separately.
Frames	Standard and Step-Thru	Standard and Step-Thru	Step-Thru designs allow the rider to literally “step through” the bike frame due to its low to the ground profile and shape.
Sizes	Standard	Multiple	Some electric bikes have various sizes, however, Himiway has designed their bike size to be universal.
Handlebars	660mm	680mm	Handlebars are largely personal preference and mostly depend on the size of the rider.
Fenders	Yes	Yes	Fenders keep mud and debris from flying off the wheel onto the rider.

Not only is the Himiway more affordable, but it even comes standard with extras such as a rear rack which is useful for carrying your bags and cargo, and a quick-release front wheel for easy stowing and transportation.Combined with a higher top speed, programmable pedal assist, a larger battery for longer rides, and a heavier carrying capacity, we believe that the Himiway Cruiser is the better option between these 2 bikes for most riders.

Now that you’ve seen the comparisons, we hope you feel confident in your choices as an e-bike consumer. At the end of the day, in our opinion, it really is no comparison at all; the Himiway Cruiser stands alone at the top.
