Bike Size Charts

BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Himiway Rambler. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

11 reasons to buy

  • The Himiway Rambler is available in three builds at three price points (standard, ‘Upgraded’, and ‘Premium’).
  • The Rambler Premium has a high-torque Bafang mid-drive motor.
  • According to testers, this motor has enough torque and power to climb steep hills with only light pedaling.
  • The step-through frame offers easy access for shorter and less flexible riders.
  • Testers report smooth and predictable power transfer across all pedal assist levels when using the mid-drive motor, especially when accelerating from a stop.
  • Experts enjoy the comfortable and stable ride.
  • The Rambler has integrated lights, a rack, and fenders.
  • The stated range of 55 miles is shown to be accurate in testing.
  • The Rambler has a relatively high payload capacity of 330lb.
  • Himiway provides a 3A charger, reducing charging times over standard 2A chargers.
  • The Rambler is available in three colors (Ocean Blue, Himi Grey, and Pearl White).

4 reasons not to buy

  • Testers report that the brakes on the premium models do not stop the bike quickly enough.
  • Throttle speed exceeds 20mph, surpassing the the Class 2 speed limit.
  • Users complain that the display lacks color and brightness.
  • According to experts, the hub drive (standard, Upgraded builds) offers weak hill-climbing performance.

Bottom line

The Himiway Rambler is a step-through electric city bike available in three builds. The base and 'Upgraded' builds have hub motors and 7-speed gearing; the 'Premium' build is a 9-speed, mid-drive e-bike. Reviewers complain about the display and report weak hill-climbing performance from the hub motor. However, the mid-drive performs well on hills. The Rambler earns praise for its comfort, stability, and riding range, while ample carrying capacity and commuter accessories add functionality. Overall, testers feel the Himiway Rambler, available at three price points, is a good choice for a range of commuters.

Himiway Rambler is a Gentle 20MPH Commuter E-Bike (Himiway Rambler Hub-Drive Review, 2023)

Level 4 expert

This is a commuter-friendly bike. It’s not exhilarating, but it has decent range, decent power, it can bring us up some decent hills, it’s easy to get on; all around a decent bike if you do like this bike and the price.

Himiway Rambler E-Bike – Comfortable Cruiser Style E-Bike

Level 4 expert

Ideal e-bike for those who want comfort, not speed. One of the most comfortable handlebar setups I’ve had to date, and I’ve tested about 50 of them.

I like them… because they’re like a moped and you really don’t have to pedal unless you are going up a hill or exercising.
