Well, all of Himiway's ideals are wrapped up in the rather tank-like Zebra. I say \"tank-like\" because while I was riding this thing around town, I couldn't help but feel like I was on a moped or even a smaller motorcycle.
I just got my Himiway Zebra for my 60th birthday and I love it ! I am female 5ft 6inches tall and weigh 67kg - when I first saw the bike I was actually a it scared ! It looked q bit like a motorbike! However I got over my fear very quickly and am now zooming about on it .I want downhill today at 45km/ hrs- it was great ! I have been a few long trips 40miles and the battery is fab - it on went down 2 bars and I was on full power, hardly pedalling on the way back .I am not technical but suffice to say the bike is really good fun and I love it !
Rode bike all through mountains in Colorado. It was wonderful! Battery had 1 bar left after aprx 40miles. That was pedaling with assistance. I was going up some pretty steep mountains too. Love my bike!
I recommend Himiway Cobra to anyone that has any interest. Bike is really a head turner and while quite large and heavy, I very much enjoy the freedom it has provided. For me, it's the ability to bring to so many places both on the road and close to home. Really it has connected me with the world around me and works so good, all I can say is that it's been an absolute pleasure owning and using this bike.
"Himiway Cobra was the best value in a full suspension fat tire ebike I could find by far in March 2023. Got to Texas in a week. Easy to assemble. Good printed manual and online assembly video. Included a nice multi tool and hat. Great range. Took 20 off road miles over 5 days to drop one notch on the battery charge meter. Suspension works very well. I needed to lower the pressure in the shock a bit and this made a huge difference. Suspension is very helpful over rough ground. Nice seat. Heavy, but that's the price you pay. Will handle any terrain this fifty-seven year old wants to traverse. Finds a comfort/capability sweet spot I appreciate. Not sure why the coverage of this bike in online magazines is so sparse. Glad I came across this bike. Torque sensor is way nicer than the cadence sensor I tried on a rental ebike. Great job Himiway. How about some fenders/rack?"
A bike box is a designated area at the head of a traffic lane at a signalized intersection that provides bicyclists with a safe and visible way to get ahead of queuing traffic during the red signal phase.
Click on the images below to view 3D concepts of a bike box. The configurations shown are based on Columbus, OH, Madison, WI, and Portland, OR, bike boxes.
Treatment details can be accessed below under design guidance.
Typical Applications
An egress lane should be used to clearly define the potential area of conflict between motorists and bicyclists in the intersection when intersection is operating on a green signal indication. Read More+
Refer to intersection crossing markings in this guide. Colored pavement or other markings may be used to define the potential area of conflict. An egress lane should not be used when there is no complimentary bicycle facility or lane on the far side of the intersection.
Stop lines may be placed up to 7 feet in advance of the bike box space to limit encroachment by motor vehicles.The box may be setback from the pedestrian crossing to minimize encroachment by cyclists into the pedestrian crossing.Bike boxes may extend across multiple travel lanes to facilitate bicyclist left turn positioning. A two-stage turn queue box may be an alternative approach to facilitating left turns where there are multiple vehicle through lanes. Read More+
To traverse a multi-lane bike box, significant lateral movement by the bicyclist is needed. This maneuver can take time and could potentially create conflicts by providing a green light for motorists while bicyclists are moving laterally through the bike box . For this reason, careful consideration should be given before applying.Bike boxes may be combined with an exclusive bicycle signal phase or leading bicycle interval through the use of bicycle signal heads to allow clearance of the bicycle queue prior to the green indication for motorists.

Just add a great riding bike that sized to fit you together with all the benefits of a folding bike. It is amazing and our customer keep reporting that they end up using their Bike Friday more than their non-folding bikes because it is so convenient and still rides so wonderfully!
A folding bike solves transportation and storage problems. It is a bicycle designed to fold into a compact form, for easy transportation and storage. Folding bikes are very popular around the world, and especially in cities. The advantages that a folding bike has in a city over a standard bike is three-fold:
Although folding bicycles may be the best bikes for living in a city, their unique design characteristics make them great for many types of riding. Folding bikes are ideal for world travel, bike touring, and group rides.
You may be wondering, are folding bikes slow? Do I have to pedal more on a folding bike? Are folding bikes for kids? The answer to all three questions is no. These are some common misconceptions about folding bikes, all of which are rooted in the small wheel size. Most people assume that smaller wheels are inferior, but there are many reasons why small wheels are just as good as, if not better than, larger wheels.
So while small wheels can go just as fast, if not faster, than larger wheels they are also stronger. Beyond the quality of the build, what determines the strength of a wheel is the length of the spokes. The longer the spoke is the more leverage can be exerted against it. If you think about it in terms of bending a piece of rod with your bare hands, which would be easier to bend- a one-inch length of the rod, or a three-foot length? From your own experience, you know that the longer rod is easier to bend. Well, the same is true of bicycle spokes- the longer the spoke the more flexible it is, and the more likely it is to bend or break. Not only is a stronger wheel less likely to break in an accident, but it can also carry more weight. The ability to take a heavier load makes small wheeled bicycles ideal for fully loaded touring, or for carrying cargo.
Riding a bike is a healthy, fun and safe activity. However, it isn't without some risk. The following information highlights 13 areas of law that may minimize that risk and have the potential to reduce conflicts between bikes and cars (and other traffic). These highlights only cover statewide laws and are not comprehensive.
All ASU students, faculty and staff who bring a bicycle to campus are required to register their bike with ASU at a bike valet location or online. Learn more about the registration process in the bike registration section.
You can combine your bicycle commute with your bus or light rail ride. Valley Metro bus and light rail commuters can place their bicycle on the racks provided at the front of the transit vehicle. Racks are first-come, first-serve. If room permits on Valley Metro light rail trains, passengers can bring their bicycle on board to the bicycle section.
During the academic year, the Bike Co-op on the Downtown Phoenix, Polytechnic and Tempe campuses provides students with the tools and instruction they need to keep their bikes working smoothly and efficiently. Bike Co-op services, locations and hours.
On the Tempe campus, shared paths are located on Forest and Goldwater Mall and along the south sidewalk on University Drive. These markings indicate paths where pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles may share the same lane at the same time.
Bicyclists commuting to and from campus may notice shared lane markings on public roadways. When bicyclists encounter these markings, they may use the same lane as vehicular traffic. Bicyclists may also notice "Bicycles may use full lane" signage reminding all commuters that bicycles have access to the full lane.
Bicycle boxes are located at intersections with traffic signals to provide a clear and visible area for bicyclists to stop ahead of vehicles. These road markings offer bicyclists priority when at a signaled intersection to activate the stoplight sensor and either go right, straight or left ahead of vehicular traffic.
