Winning is an exhilarating experience that never fails to put a smile on your face. It is akin to visiting your favorite theme park, where every ride is a thrill. Winning something that you never thought you had a chance at is like being granted a 3-day VIP pass to the park, a rare and coveted opportunity. And when the stakes are high, the excitement is even greater. For instance, winning a brand new Himiway ebike, as Peppi Cline did in a recent Facebook lottery held by Himiway, is a truly unforgettable moment.
Peppi was ecstatic when she learned that she had won the Himiway Zebra, a top-of-the-line electric bike that is perfect for all-terrain adventures. We got the chance to speak with Peppi and learn more about her experience. She shared with us how the Himiway ebike has transformed her outdoor activities, allowing her to explore new places and take on more challenging trails. Peppi also talked about the excellent customer service she received from Himiway.
Q: How did you feel when you found out you won the Himiway Lottery on the Facebook Page? And overall, how has your experience been?
When I first received the news, I was completely taken aback! My initial reaction was excitement, but at the same time I was also filled with doubt. I couldn't believe that what I had heard was true. It was just too good to be true! I still find it hard to believe that I actually won, especially since I wasn't expecting it at all. Winning something like this was a long shot, so I didn't think much of it. However, when I saw three of my numbers appear in the exact order, I was completely floored! I remember thinking to myself, "Is this really happening?" It was an incredibly surprising experience that I will never forget.

Q: Did you enjoy participating in the event and would you want to do it again?
Overall, I found the contest to be quite intriguing. The anticipation of the drawing on YouTube was quite exciting, and even though I had briefly forgotten about it, it was still a bit of a shock when I realized that my name hadn't been called. As they say, "stranger things have happened," but I still couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. Nevertheless, the experience was definitely worth it, and it even inspired me to encourage my husband to submit his mileage as well. Who knows, maybe he'll even be the lucky winner next time!
Q: What are your plans for the old Himiway after you get the new Himiway Zebra?
A: Well, I keep thinking about that one, it’s my old one, but it's not that old. I haven't had it a year yet, and I still want to use it to ride around town and do the trails around where I live. It has been with me through so many adventures, from my first ride to exploring new routes. I often reminisce about the memories we've shared together and how it has been a reliable companion.
Then I was thinking about the zebra, since it has a longer battery life, would be great to take on the longer trips that I want to do. I could plan a camping trip where I can explore new trails and get away from the city. It would be a great way to spend some time in nature and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
I had a friend tell me that I could sell my old one, but the bond I have with Behemoth goes beyond its monetary value. It's not just a bike; it's a part of my life, and I can't imagine parting ways with it. Even though the zebra has its advantages, I still feel like Behemoth has a lot of life left in it, and I can't wait to create more memories with it.
Q: What made you choose Himiway over other eBike brands?
My spouse and I were on the hunt for the perfect ebike that would suit our needs. We spent a considerable amount of time looking at different models and brands, but we always found ourselves gravitating towards the Himiway ebike. We were both drawn to its fat tires, which we believed would be more suitable for the type of terrain we often traverse, such as dirt and rocky trails. We both agreed that regular street tires would not be practical for our needs. Our research also showed that the Himiway ebike was a sturdy and reliable option, and it was within our budget. We were impressed with the positive reviews and high ratings that it had received compared to other ebikes that we had considered.
Despite having owned a regular bike before, I was never really a fan of cycling. I found it to be a daunting and unsafe activity, especially on rough terrains. However, the Himiway ebike changed all that for me. Its assist feature made cycling so much easier and enjoyable for me, and it eliminated the fear of falling over and getting hurt. I also appreciated the bike's heavier weight, which made it more stable and easier to maneuver. I could now ride the ebike with confidence and not worry about fatigue or discomfort.
In conclusion, we are thrilled with our decision to purchase the Himiway ebike. It has exceeded our expectations in terms of performance, durability, and comfort. It has enabled us to explore new trails and enjoy the great outdoors with ease.
Q: What is the main purpose for using your eBike?
I use it on our trails around town, to get me outside, get the fresh air and enjoy the sunlight. Just to getting out there and feeling the breeze. This gets me out of the house, it’s just so fun.
Q: Were you one of the first in your community to get a Himiway? What recommendations would you give to others looking to buy or switch eBikes?
A: It's been fascinating to see the growing popularity of Himiway bikes in our town. What began as a unique purchase for us has now become a common sight on the trails and roads. In fact, we often find ourselves being asked by curious passersby about our experience with Himiway bikes. They inquire about where we purchased them, their cost, and what led us to choose Himiway over other brands. We've even had friends borrow our bikes for a ride and later purchase their own after falling in love with the product.
We recently met a rider on the trail who had his Himiway for more than four years and had pushed it to 8000 miles. He was a passionate advocate for the product, claiming that it was the best purchase he had ever made. He rode his bike for 20 to 30 miles a day and attested to its durability and reliability. Hearing his story, we realized that we too were on the path to becoming loyal Himiway customers. Although we've only had ours for a short time and have yet to put as many miles on them, we are confident that we have made a wise investment in a product that we will enjoy for years to come.
In terms of recommendations for those looking to buy or switch to eBikes, we would advise them to consider the many benefits of Himiway. From its affordability to its high-quality components and long-range battery life, Himiway is a brand that stands out from the competition. We would encourage potential buyers to research the brand and read reviews from other riders to get a sense of its reliability and performance. We would also suggest trying out a Himiway bike for themselves, either by renting or borrowing from a friend. Seeing the product in action and experiencing its ease of use and comfort firsthand can help solidify one's decision to invest in a Himiway bike.
Q: Himiway aims to empower Himi riders to move freely and enjoy exhilarating experiences through our products. On a scale of 1-10, how well do you feel Himiway has accomplished this?
I'm thinking it's a ten. To me, people are getting out and they're riding more, you see a lot more people outside. With our trails here, if you do all of them in one day, you're going to go 30 miles. When I'm out there, I typically see five or six ebikes, depending on the time that I'm riding. So I can see that Himiway is doing a great job in promoting [their bikes] and trying to get them out there for people.
Q: What experiences have you had while riding your Himiway? Any fun stories you'd like to share?
I recently took my bike to Denver visiting some relatives who also have Himiways. We went for a 30 miles bike ride and went to parts of Denver I had never seen before. The bike went up and down hills, and we were riding along with no concerns whatsoever. It was like one of the most impressive rides we had been on. We went 30 miles, and I got back to their house and still had two bars left on the battery; I'm like, okay, we could still go another ten more miles.
Q: What kind of social media campaigns are you interested in participating in?
I’ve entered the drawings that Himiway has done before has, and I actually won a saddlebag from them about six months ago. All I did was send a picture of my bike somewhere, and I ended up winning a saddlebag. Those kinds of contests get people really interested in the Himiway bikes. It's just a matter of getting more people out there riding bikes, riding the Himiway bikes, and they will get people interested. That has happened to my husband, where he works people see his bike, and it's like, “Okay, let's go get ours.”
