Reviewers are impressed by the range for a bike at this price point despite falling short of the claimed 80 miles. The instruction manual contains the assembly how-to, but you can also find a walkthrough video on YouTube.

But the Zebra is different. Even though it looks like a seated scooter, it actually sports a pair of bicycle pedals — something we like to call vestigial pedals since they don’t really do anything. Sure, you could pedal them, but let’s get real — they’re mostly there to make the Zebra compliant with electric bicycle laws. Charging is convenient, with the option to do so directly on the frame or by easily removing the battery with the included key. This feature is especially useful for those who may not have access to a charging outlet in a shared parking location. The only minor inconvenience is that the charger has a fan which runs while charging, making it slightly noisy if charging in a common area. Motor The Tektro hydraulic brakes with 180mm rotors are a standout feature, delivering powerful stopping power that's especially useful for the bike's heavier frame. To ensure rider safety, the brakes are integrated with the motor, which automatically cuts power to the motor when the brakes are engaged. Gearing The Zebra is a fine match for recreational riders looking for a robust fat tire bike for adventures. With the ability to conquer various terrains and a huge riding range, the Zebra could also make a happy commuter, as long as you have the space to store it.The Selle Royal saddle is large and offers some cushioning. I found it reasonably comfortable, especially when coasting. However, after riding for extended periods, I felt discomfort while pedaling. The larger seat surface put pressure on my glutes when pedaling in a seated position. A lot of ebikes at this price point use generic brakes, especially if the bike is fit with hydraulic brakes. Himiway is using Tektro Auriga hydraulic brakes, which are very popular and known to be robust and reliable. Although it’s not a mountain bike, the Zebra is more comfortable off-road than in tight city spaces. Large 4″ tires with aggressive tread and a suspension fork offer enough cushion to handle more minor bumps. The power is the same type of you-better-hang-on-tight snappiness we came to expect from the Cruiser, which many Himiway fans are going to see as a positive, but its motor and power delivery also features some of the same complaints we had with that original bike. The motor engagement when pedaling can be erratic and our team of testers all agree this e-bike feels like it was designed more for throttling than pedaling which, depending on your preferred mode of motion, can be a good thing or a bad thing. But all in, the Zebra fits the bill of e-bike Himiway customers have grown to expect: it’s fast, torquey and you can ride for a long time on a single charge.
