Himiway Cobra PRO Softail Electric Mountain Bike
Himiway Cobra Pro Softail Electric Mountain BikePeople going on trails and avid mountain bikers would agree their rides are cut short because of the fatigue that comes with steep climbs and hundreds of tiny bumps. Electric mountain bikes allow regular riders to enjoy the trail better without having to worry about getting tired quickly. However, Himiway goes even further and offers an e-bike made specifically for the roughest rides that can take on any terrain. |
Himiway has set the benchmark for all-electric mountain bikes with their overkill Cobra Pro Softail mountain bike. This e-bike competes in the major leagues with its over the top specs, build quality and butter smooth suspension. Himiway is known for taking steps into new territory and is one of the very few manufacturers offering full suspension electric mountain bikes. The Cobra Pro is a step up from the previous Cobra mountain bike but still hosts all the best features with much needed improvements for more power and transmission.
Motor
The star of the show is the 1000 W Bafang motor that delivers 160 Nm of torque. This is in no way excessive, given the nature of the trail it can conquer. The motor is controlled by a throttle and provides pedal assist.
- The motor is a great upgrade and can deliver 1300 W of peak output with speeds reaching up to 35 mph.
- It makes steep climbs look effortless and because the motor is placed centrally.
- It can deliver quick acceleration from a deadstop, particularly helpful when riding over obstacles like logs and roots.
Battery
The battery completely blends in with the strong aluminum frame.
- It uses a 48 V 20 Ah battery with cells that have low resistance and charge faster compared to older lithium batteries.
- You can easily get a 6 hour charge with this battery with intense riding on the trail.
- It also powers the bright lights and the digital display in the cockpit.
Four Bar Linkage Suspension
The Cobra Pro differentiates itself from other electric mountain bikes with its four-bar linkage suspension, with an improved coil from the previous Cobra Softail. The four bar linkage is still uncommon and Himiway showed their complex engineering by adopting this suspension.
- The seat stay and rocker both adjust to absorb the shocks.
- They can also push downward on the wheel to grip the bike path.
- Speeding with this bike over jumps, the polygon moves up and when landing the coil absorbs most of the shock with the front fork.
- The A5 coil suspension and the front fork have plenty of travel and the ride feels smooth for hours on end.
Gears
The gearing is a 10 speed cassette with a shimano dual shifter and some of the best hydraulic disc brakes. The Tektro brakes perform extremely well, riding downhill and offering that quick grip when climbing rocky terrain.
How Is It Different From Other Bikes?
With a solid aluminum frame, greatest suspension on a middle class e-bike, and quality Shimano and Tektro components, Himiway is offering something a lot more for your buck. The long range and reliable mid drive motor that crushes obstacles will put a pleasant smile on your face each time you ride it.
