Where it falls short

Who should buy it
The HIMIWAY D3 fits riders who want a long estimated range and a large battery. It also suits those who do not need to carry the bike often. If you prioritize range over weight, this bike is worth considering.
- You want a battery above the median for city e-bikes.
- You ride mostly on flat terrain and do not need high torque.
- You have a place to store a heavy bike and do not lift it regularly.
Look elsewhere if you need a light bike or high torque. Also, if you want a throttle or a foldable frame, this bike does not offer them. Consider other models if those features matter to you.
