The HIMIWAY trademark is registered at the USPTO to Liu Huiben, an individual based in Anhui, China.

  • Himiway is an e-bike brand whose US store names its seller as Himiway USA, at 528 Spanish Lane in Walnut, California.
  • Himiway sells fat tire, hunting, commuter and cargo e-bikes in the US through its own online store, an Amazon brand store and local dealers.
  • None of Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Costco, REI, Home Depot or Lowe's sells Himiway e-bikes (October 2026).

The Himiway C3 is a step-through cargo e-bike with an integrated long rear rack, a 960 Wh Samsung/LG battery (Himiway's spare-battery listing gives 48 V, 20 Ah) and a 750 W motor; Himiway's pages call it a hub motor in one place and a mid-drive in another.

It has Tektro HD-E3520 hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors, a torque sensor and 20 x 3 in tires, and it is rated for a 440 lb load with a 265 lb rider maximum. The page claims up to 80 miles of range and lists a Shimano Altus 7-speed drivetrain and a double-leg kickstand.

Himiway publishes no manual, weight, class, throttle, lights or fenders for it. Electric Bike Report's spec review, which is manufacturer-paid, lists it as Class 2 at 20 mph with a throttle, a 60 mm coil fork, fenders, lights and a passenger bench.

Orange and Ocean Blue sell for $1,499.00; Ocean Blue is sold out, and a spare 48 V, 20 Ah battery sells for $589.00.
