The Himiway D5 (Zebra) carries a 960 Wh battery. That is 11% above the median for mtb e-bikes in our database, which sits at 864 Wh. It is the clearest number that sets this bike apart from its class. The extra capacity suggests it is built for longer rides than the average mtb e-bike, though the estimate below shows the full story is more complicated.
This is a heavy bike at 35.8 kg, 4% above the median of 34.5 kg. It has a throttle and a rated motor of 250 W, so it leans toward utility and relaxed riding rather than pure trail performance. You get a large battery and a high payload limit of 181.4 kg. It suits riders who want range and carrying capacity more than a light, nimble feel.
What the numbers say
| Spec | This bike | Median for its type |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | 960 Wh | 864 Wh |
| Weight | 35.8 kg | 34.5 kg |
| Torque | not listed | 80 Nm |
| Estimated range | 55 km | 49 km |
| Price | 0 USD | 1499 USD |
The table shows a bike with more battery and more weight than its class average. Its estimated range is 12% above the median, at 55 km against 49 km. Torque is not published, so we cannot compare it on that measure. Price is listed as 0 USD, which is not comparable to the median of 1499 USD.
Questions people ask about the Himiway D5 (Zebra)
How much does it weigh?
The Himiway D5 (Zebra) weighs 35.8 kg. That is 4% above the median for mtb e-bikes, which is 34.5 kg. It is not a light bike, and you will notice the weight when lifting it or loading it onto a rack. The high weight is consistent with the large battery.
How much torque does it have?
Motor torque is not listed for this bike. The median torque for mtb e-bikes in our database is 80 Nm, but we cannot say how the D5 compares. Without a published torque figure, you cannot judge its climbing or acceleration from specs alone. This is a gap in the published information.
What speed class is it?
The speed class is not listed. Top speed is also not published. The motor is rated at 250 W, which is typical for a pedal-assist e-bike, but the class depends on local rules and manufacturer configuration. You should check the class with the seller if you need to know.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 128 km of range. Our estimate is 55 km, with a band of 48 to 61 km. That is 57% below the claim. The estimate uses one reference ride for every bike: Tour assist, rolling terrain, mild weather, brisk pace, and an 80 kg rider. It is not a measurement. You can adjust the inputs for your own weight and terrain with the range calculator.
What does it cost to run?
The price is listed as 0 USD, so we cannot calculate a purchase cost. Running costs depend on your electricity price and how often you charge the 960 Wh battery. The battery has a capacity of 20 Ah at 48 V. You can work out charging costs with the cost calculator.
Where it falls short
The biggest shortfall is the gap between the claimed range and the estimate. The claim is 128 km, but the estimate is 55 km, which is 57% below. That is a large difference, and it means you should plan on the estimate rather than the claim. The bike is also heavy at 35.8 kg, which makes it harder to handle off the bike. And key specs like torque, speed class and warranty are not listed, which limits how much you can compare before buying.
Who should buy it
This bike suits riders who want a large battery and a high payload limit. The 960 Wh battery and 181.4 kg maximum payload make it a candidate for carrying gear or heavier riders. The throttle adds a way to ride without pedaling. But you must accept the weight and the realistic range estimate.
- You need a high payload capacity: 181.4 kg is well above what many e-bikes allow.
- You want a throttle for times when you do not want to pedal.
- You prefer a large battery: 960 Wh is 11% above the median for this type.
Look elsewhere if you need a light bike, because 35.8 kg is heavy. Look elsewhere if you need a published torque figure or speed class, since neither is listed. And look elsewhere if the claimed 128 km range is important to you, because the estimate is 55 km. This bike is for riders who value capacity over low weight and who plan around the estimate, not the claim.
