The HIMIWAY D5 is a mountain bike e-bike with a 720 Wh battery. Its motor torque is 40 Nm, which is 50% below the median for its type. That makes it a gentle climber, not a hill crusher.
It suits riders who want a standard pedelec with a large battery and a moderate price. At 1799 USD, it sits 5% below the median price for MTB e-bikes. You get a bike that is level with its class on battery and estimated range, but with less punch.

Answers to common questions
How much does the HIMIWAY D5 weigh?
It weighs 26.8 kg. That is 5% below the median weight for its type. It is not the lightest e-bike, but it is on the lighter side for an MTB.
How much torque does the motor have?
The motor delivers 40 Nm of torque. That is half the median torque for its class. You will feel the difference on steep climbs, where it will be slower than a higher-torque bike.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class, with a top speed of 32 km/h. That means it assists you up to that speed, and you can ride it without a license in most places. It has no throttle.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims a range of 129 km. Our range calculator estimates 42 km under a standard reference ride. That is 67% below the claim, so treat the claim with caution.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 1799 USD. Running costs include electricity and maintenance, which you can estimate with our cost calculator. The warranty is not listed, so check with the seller.
Where it falls short
The biggest weakness is the motor torque. At 40 Nm, it is 50% below the median for MTB e-bikes. If you ride steep hills or carry heavy loads, you will want more torque.
Who should buy it
The HIMIWAY D5 fits riders who value battery capacity and price over raw power. It is a capable commuter or light trail bike, not a serious mountain climber.
- You want a long battery range for daily commutes.
- You ride mostly flat or rolling terrain.
- You want an affordable e-MTB with a standard pedelec setup.
Look elsewhere if you need strong hill-climbing ability or a throttle. Also consider other options if you want a warranty, since HIMIWAY does not publish one for this bike.
