Nice Tim, Thank you! I have used a leaf blower to dry mine off to prevent water from seeping in somewhere it shouldn't go. I hose it off (lightly) after riding at the beach to remove any salt.

Another great instructional video by Tim the Turtle. I actually bought one of the bike stands and returned it because it was flimsy and I felt that using it was counterproductive. Thanks, Tim!

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO
I WASNT SURE IF IT WAS SAFE TO GET THE ELECTICAL COMPONENTS WET. BUT I GUESS ITS PRETTY SAFE TO WASH MY BIKE AS LONG AS I TRY TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT IT
THANKS AGAIN 👍

Good tips Tim! So far, at 260 miles on mine, just a dry cloth has done the job for taking off light dust, but I'll use your tips when it comes time for a good rinse. Unfortunately, I don't have a rig like yours, thus when I need either the front or rear raised, I have hooks in the ceiling of my garage (used for a canoe I once had) and two 'tie down straps' where I have two on the ceiling hook, and for the front, add one to each side of the handlebar, and raise the bike up via the tie down straps I use for an atv we have. On the rear, I do the same, but hold the bike up by the rear rack, with one strap on the outer part of the rack. I don't leave it held up for extended periods, but it works well for cleaning, or if I want to spin the tire for whatever reason.

I do that similar wash but I use My leaf blower after to dry and push any access water out and off the bike.

My husband and i really appreciate your videos, thank you for all your research and hard work. Recently made the fatal error of putting my ke in charging port. Can you make a video how to check for blow fuses and most important, can the charging port be replaced? Thanks again!

Can I use a power washer at the car wash for my himiway

Hi there. I just watched this great video. Thank you!. My question is the following. Knowing that these type of bikes weight more than 70 lbs. Can you tell me if your tripod stand is a good one? If not, is there any of these bike stand holders in the market I should buy? Where can I buy the electric cover lid made by you?

[markspjute]

Do you have a video on raising your handlebars? I tried to raise mine (Himiway Cruiser) but the wires are not long enough to attach to a raised handle bar. Thank you!

[Ralphcanoeingadventures]

What about the soap getting on the disc brake parts? Won't that leave a film that will cause brake squealing?

[markc]

I have a Rad City that looks the same I think you need to do a second video!

[RickLaBanca]

Wow you take it on dirt! Mine all road so no cleaning … yet!

[bradywiseman]

And is there any other way to charge your battery faster? Maybe a better box charger for it

[johnmiller]

You and I are the same size man. I was going to buy a himi but there was a long wait so I bought an esoteric bike. love it and have put a couple of hundred miles on it. I need to put a riser snd a neck on it but need to get the diameters. are they all universal? how did you get the right one?

[LetArtsLive]

This is something I need to do. I have not washed my ecotric hammer since I got it last July 7th of 2020. Under where the battery goes is mud I am a little concerned about getting water in it. Any suggestions

[theonebe]

I have a question concerning battery charging. 8-9 hours for a full charge is such a long time. Can only ride bike once a day if I deplete the battery. Is there any after market fast chargers that you know of for the Himiways? Don't know why they didn't just make a faster charger. Like 4 hours. There's bigger bikes out there with bigger batteries that only take 4 hours to charge

[misheltrujillo]

Im a new ebike owner, so i have questions...Where do you get the bike stand from? I like that. Can you use that to do your adjustments? I havent set yp my bike yet. Just got it.

How do you keep the cassette from rusting?

[richardc]

What brand bike stand are you using ? I have an 80plus lb ebike
