Safety and Care Instructions
To ensure safe riding conditions and maximize e-bike longevity, you must follow the
guidelines outlined below:
To clean the e-bike, wipe the frame with a damp cloth soaked in a mild, non-abrasive,
non-corrosive detergent mixture. Wipe or spray all unpainted parts with anti-rust
treatment after being used in coastal areas or areas with salty air or water.
Never use a pressure washer when cleaning your bike.
Never immerse the bike or any components in water, as the electrical system may be
damaged. If the hub and bottom bracket bearings have been submerged in water,
they should be removed and re-greased (this will prevent accelerated bearing
deterioration).
Periodically check wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage, and the
connections are secure.
Store under shelter, avoiding extended exposure to cold or inclement weather. If
exposed to rain or excess moisture, dry your bicycle afterward and apply anti-rust
treatment to the chain and any other unpainted steel surfaces.
Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten components and adjust as
required.
Your cables, spokes, and chain will stretch after an initial break in period of 80-160
km, and additionally bolted connections can loosen with time and usage. Therefore,
we suggest you contact a certified bicycle mechanic every two months to ensure
your bike is safe and problem-free for years of use.
If the paint has become scratched, or the metal chipped, use touch-up paint to
prevent rust (clear nail polish can also be used as a preventative measure).
Damage from corrosion is not covered under warranty, therefore special care should
be given to protect and extend the life of your bike.

Do not attempt to ride up hills steeper than 15% grade.
Use the pedals to assist the motor when climbing hills and accelerating from a stop.
Avoid sudden starts and stops.
Generally accelerate at a moderate pace, rather than aggressively.
Following are some limitations needing riders’ careful attention to ensure the hub motor
does not overheat or become damaged from excessive loading:
Riding Limitations
Parking & Transport
Follow these basic parking, storage, and transport tips to ensure your bike is well cared
for, both on and off the road:
When walking with the bike, turn off the power to avoid accidental acceleration, or
use Walk Mode (page 14 ).
Though our bikes are water resistant (IPX4 Water Resistance), please do not park
your bike outdoors in cold or inclement weather for extended periods.
When parking, switch the power and any lights off to conserve battery, remove the
key from the bike, and ensure the battery is secured and locked to the frame.
In public places, help keep your Himiway Bike safe and secure from theft by always
locking it up.
Make sure to not park, store or transport your Himiway Bike on a rack that is not
designed for the size and weight of the bike. When storing or carrying your bike on a
rack for transport, remove the battery to reduce the weight and make lifting or
loading easier.
