- Folks, I've taken product-whoring to a whole new level...this entire video is product-whoring!! At least I FINALLY have a video that I know won't be demonetized! Yay!
Click here or I've whored for nothing! himiwaybike.co...
Over the years I've ridden thousands upon thousands of miles on a bicycle, and until I got the Himiway Cobra I pedaled every bit of that myself. Looking forward to having a motor help me from here on out!
Yes, this video is a complete departure from what I usually do, but I decided to do this E-bike review because I was HUGE into bicycles for many years (and still am, somewhat) and I'm into electric vehicles as well (NOT by mandate, of course!) So it seemed like something that was worth taking a shot at. Don't worry...within a few days we'll be "back to our regularly scheduled program".
For the first 6 people to buy a Himiway Cobra, you can use this discount code for $150 off: M150
Here's a contest that Himiway is sponsoring: Pick an accessory under $100 from this page, leave a comment on the video which mentions the accessory, and within 7 days of the upload date they'll choose a winner who will get that item for free: bit.ly/Himiway...

Mark, I wish I was 40 years younger as I love your primary business. You are a man that I really respect. Even at my age and having to be on oxygen I would still love to be able to just sit in your shop and watch you and your help work.
How old are you?
@robertvierra9917 Thanks for the kind words. I WISH I was 40 years younger, too! But then I'd probably spend all my time chasing skirts instead of working, so the business would probably fail. ;-)
Mark u can just cnc ur own bike. U probably make a better one. Just make sure the battery doesn’t explode. Just saying
@EdwinSarkissian If the battery was going to explode I'd just send it to you for your channel! Maybe you could get a video of it blowing up next to an oxygen cylinder.
@@markserbu Also put a turret on it that only works with the magic words from your voice. Please save me turret are the magic words.
@@markserbu yes, please don't strap a grenade to the back of the bicycle thinking it will give you explosive power for climbing hills, LOL
As someone who has built hundreds of bikes, you are doing a good job.
I haven't rode a bike since I broke my BMX back in the 90's,you could run naked in heavy traffic and this guy would still watch it! Only because you'll share some tidbit,and you're entertaining as hell
YES, come to the dark side of E-Bike Reviews! It's hard to say no to the endless offers of E-Bikes to review 😂. Plus, they're a ton of fun, and I think your real fans won't mind whatever content you make. The E-Bike finally tipped me over the edge of actually using a bike to commute, and as much as people say they're "cheater bikes", I find a little bit of effort every day is far better than none at all.
Cool video, I'm not into biking but a nice change of pace. I enjoyed it.
I just purchased this bike today and put 30 miles on it and I'm very pleased with this bike. Great video by the way!
Completely unexpected but damn they sent it to you and you gave an honest review. Cool and much respect Mark!!!
great video Mark. I love my Himiway step through. I am a type B guy. You have always been very amusing even in high school.
watching mark serbu ride a bycicle is a thing i never knew i needed
LOL
I have their Long Range All Terrain Step Thru Electric Bike. So far -- it's a tank. With a proper up-right rider position( the way you ride cruiser motorcycles and choppers instead of being bend like a pooping dog (like sport bicycle riders do)), fat tires that eat any pothole, and really comfy saddle. Extremally happy -- 30km one way to downtown from my place, i.e. ~60km total commute -- no issues. And I still have extra 10-15km left in my battery. And this is unassisted mode( otherwise -- why do you need ebike, just buy regular bike instead). I also want to unlock controller/computer to remove d*mb 20 miles/h governmental speed limits. Really nice quality product.
Don't chip a nail there, lobo... LOL! LOVE the ebike! Love the content, keep it up!
Hey, Mark. I like you're style. I just bought my first ebike. (TIFGALOP ES 28) And I gotta tell you, I Can't stay off of it!! I'm 57 and I haven't had this much fun since I was twelve years old! I'm totally obsessed. Thinking about a second one and it might just be the Cobra. Thanks for you're insight brother and keep posting!
Cool vid, I'm an e-bike rider myself and enjoy the mix of content. Edit- at least your head caught your fall😂😂😂.
I'm 58 and nearly your age, I appreciate the video's of guns, bikes and explosions with Edwin. The funny thing was you wore a helmet as a teenager, when nobody else did, and now that you are a 'goofy old guy" like me, you failed to see the practicality of a helmet, or the dangers of riding near thorns, LOL. I love the vid.
Wow what a spot on impersonation of the accent from your professor! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nice bike 🚲
It is. If only it was in my budget.
That's all I used to do when I was a kid/teenager. Then I joined the service, raised raised a family and had a stroke a few years back and haven't really got back into riding. I tried a couple years ago and there was no way I could even make it around the block. Lol. Yeah I'm definitely out of shape. But I know this much, I am still planning on getting one of your semi auto 50s. I just love the way you have them designed. Anyways you have a blast on that beauty, and stop crashing we are to ol for that. I was blown off the back of my trailer last week in the snow storm because the forklift driver slammed on his breaks and both bundles off osb came sliding off his forks and the top bundle hit me in my back and sent me off and almost landed on my legs. If I didn't do the really fast low crawl when I hit the ground, it would have. It landed 3 inches from my legs. Like I said we to ol for tumbling. Lol
Hey Mark, please do a show on African "Wagila Guns". Apparently they're like some sort of badass spud-gun that shoots D-Cell batteries.
I just purchased this. I have a Vado 5.0 igh and a surly skid loader. Wanted something a bit more capable for when I’m riding alone or without the kiddos I should say. Can’t wait to saddle up on this. None of my other bikes have a “throttle” rather just assist when pedaling. Which I have no complaints about. But want to see what it’s like having a stand-alone throttle on top. Can’t wait! Nice write up btw
i watch ur vids because ur personality no fake shit=good stuff
Really great bike review & I appreciate you showing how long it took to build in real time. 🙏👍🏽😊
All that E-bike energy
I’ve been wanting one of these. They are a little pricey but they look so fun.
Damn good video! Love the boom-stick builds but it's great to watch you do something else you enjoy.
Everybody needs a hobby or 3... or maybe 5..
Well that's interesting back when I was younger I used to ride but don't have time any more thanks for horeing for the man keep up the great work six stars brother
Love ANY content you have.
Need more of the flying videos!
Part group B/C here
Was waiting for the only e-bike with a mounted 50 cal.
To me the product review was more about e-bikes in general vs. that specific one over others. Have to up your product review game so you get more free stuff to mount .50’s to….
Shout out from Iowa. You rode a mile past my house on RAGBRAI. Wish i would've known to say hi! Enjoy
The thickness of the tires make it less maneuverable as I like but it's a very comfortable ride.
Looks like fun, except for the crash. My favorite part was the Ferrari.
Hey Mark, trust me… people find a way to thread the wrong pedal in. I worked as a bike mechanic for 7 years, ive seen it all 😂
@wrenchandrip Ha, I have no doubt!
You are pretty much my dad but from south do the border. He grew up a bike enthusiast, later became a machinist and finally got back into biking.
WOW Unboxing, thats so original! How did you come up with that idea? More people should copy you. Nice looking Parking lot to ride in, you should post a longer video of the parking lot.
Probably a type A-. But then again it might just be my canadian enjoying seeing someone enjoying the warm Floridas weather. Two weeks ago we had a massive ice storm that took out power for four days.
Quality content. I've been thinking about installing a mid-drive setup on my old Gary Fisher 29er hardtail. Time to take the plunge.
I carry extra batteries in a backpack for 120 miles+ on/off-road trail trips.
These Ebikes are crazy, I gotta get one. perfect home ==> Bar ==> and back home again mobile
I was watching you knock the grass down while you were riding rather than watch it grow. 💪🏻💪🏻🇺🇸
Love all your content and it's cool to see the different things you do. Do another one on your sport bikes.
I died laughing at "Mechanicru engineer" as a Chinese man myself
Liked this video! Used to ride quite a bit myself also. Now you need to start mounting things to it. Maybe a rear rack with a small inverter generator so you can get more range? I'd suggest mounting other things, but you'd probably get demonetized again.
Group A guy, I love bicycles! Cool tech, enjoy.
Lesson kids, wear a hat while riding! LOL! Great Vidya, Mark!
Group A, keep them coming, take care.
Holy fuck Mark is incredibly based.
Real guy stuff, bikes, pews pews, knives and other steel blades with sharp edges and small motors...
GUY STUFF
I know this means a bunch to you Mark, I gave you a thumbs up. The demonetizing on your channel is horse shit, I have never seen you do anything wrong! FJB!! Thank you too:)
Ok Mark! Now you need to mount a 50cal to it!
I love that you have a Tesla. I have two Model Y's myself. Tesla's and guns just go together.
@chevrofreak Unfortunately I think most Tesla drivers would disagree with you! I remember asking on a Tesla forum about what they thought the steering wheel cover was made from, and I speculated it was some sort of pigskin since my hands smelled like BBQ after driving. I got a lot of "Eeeeewwww grosssss..MEAT!" sort of comments. And I later found out that the interior was totally "Vegan", as if we were supposed to be worried about eating the fucking interior pieces. Of course it was a move to not offend the dildos who don't eat a normal human diet. No matter what, it's a GREAT car...the best I've ever had.
@@markserbu TWANGnBANG owns a Tesla, and now a Rivian, and I do know quite a few Tesla owners that are into guns, even some that you wouldn't expect. Many of them aren't vocal about it because of the Karen's in the Tesla community that are anti-gun, but I am not one of those people. Both of my Tesla's have bright yellow Don't Tread On Me license plates, and I am very vocal on social media about my love of both guns and Tesla. The more of us there are, the more there will be.
That thing is nice!
I’m group A. Lol. I’ve been biking all my life until I had kids a few years back. Started out BMX riding and moved into mountain biking when I got older. Carbon fiber is good stuff if you race but I don’t want to snap it and lose a bunch of money so I’ll stick with metal. Great video. Keep it up.
As a child of NoVa I can agree 100% with your statement of us doing a little bit of everything. BTW your dad wouldn't happen to have been building a plane in his garage? If so, I bought one of your 10 speeds when you all moved. 😆
No, Dad never got bitten by the airplane bug. And he still has the 10 speed he had back then! Lives down here in FL now.
Ive got to be honest i couldn't care less about the E bike unless they want to send me one for free to. But I'll watch and like the video to say thank you for interesting content you have provided over the years
I would love to see how far you can make it on a full charge .awesome video!
I rode a Schwinn Sprint (1980's) after my younger years of riding BMX. Once I got my license I pretty much quit riding. Now turning, 50 I'm looking to get back into riding some and have really been looking over e-bikes. I'm disabled so I figure that's going to be the only way I can ride again. Thanks for the review although you didn't really "review" a whole lot on the performance.😁 That said, I still enjoyed the video! LOL. I'll have to check these bikes out. Stay safe out there, with all the idiots driving their Ferraris ...oh no, wait! I meant Lamborghinis. LMAO Take care sir.
I love this guy. Awesome business owner with a hot bod. lmfao
@yakamen Woah, woah! Keep it in your pants there, pal! ;-)
What year was the Nova and was it your car? I had a red ‘71 with a small block my dad built and balanced. It would turn 7K no problem. I miss that car.
Wow...7K is awesome! Yes, that was my '73 Nova. Came with a 350 2-barrel and 3-speed manual trans. Put headers, Edlebrock Torker, Holly carb, Muncie M21 4-speed in it. Loved the hatchback, and actually had a bed back there! Bumper sticker was, "Don't laugh...your daughter might be in here". Great car!
May I suggest two 20 gauge handle bar mounted shot guns. Belt fed of course.
They gave you the cap in the box mate lol.
Group A love the work is it a carbon fiber frame
Group a... I will say I wanted you to go into the shop and get a T handle Allen to do the screws on handlebars
Group A. Spent a lot of years on a bike. What year was that Nova in the beginning? My brother had one just like that!
The Nova was a 1973. Loved that car!
@@markserbu His was a 71. Same color. Very cool car.
It has to be assembled? I want one that's already put together so all I have to do is just jump on it or get on it in some fashion as are you trying out. I don't want to put together.
The prices begin at $1,600.00, $1599.00 to be exact. For that price I expected to be fully assembled and I'm 66 years old soon to be 67 years old I'm not putting it together. One more thing here I'm fully disabled so I won't be riding this bike in the first place but had I have the ability to hop on a bike like this and ride it I was one of the assembled, fully.
So what will the mods to the bike be??? I find it hard to believe you will just leave it alone.
Gun mount? JATO bottle?
Nice road rash.
I'm in group F, fawk everyone that doesn't like it! You're out doing something having fun! That's all that matters!
beanie works perfectly for helmet!
love my radmini 4. i always enjoy seeing the latest greatest ebikes. himiway makes one of the better "value" ebikes, they have good power and top speed compared to a lot of tamer bikes.
a cb, lol. and that's a cool set up. i believe it may be so heavy because you have 2 motors. the pedal assist motor is in the crank set, the rear hub is the other motor but I'm sure you can figure it out your an engineer
Group A represent!
Best bike review on CZcams brother. I've actually been looking for an e-bike lol.
Born and raised in Iowa never rode but you guys would go right past my town depending on the route
It was such a GRACEFUL CRASH. Enjoy the new TOY. hehe
Group A, but it's gotta be Masters of the Universe or Thundercats.
so if the battery dies does it become a "Himi-walkin" or a "Himi-pushin"? I remember them telling us in engineering school (back around 85) that the job of writing the manual goes to the "least needed worker" on the assembly line.
I will watch more videos like this..........if it means more uploads
My neighbors cat wants to know what you are doing with that box.
I'd say I'm between Group A and Group B.
Question: Does it charge if you have the pedal assist turned off?
That aside, that's a cool bike!
Charging from the pedals would add drag, not usually considered desirable.
I just ordered the d7… seems I should order an additional battery and a hitch
lol good for you Mark, e bikes are awesome. I have a specialized comp carbon. I need a bfg-50a want some money? I just can’t wait 3 years… how about this year? Deal? lol
Man I wish I could afford a couple of these ebikes for camping. Would be a blast to have one of those
Through axels are your friends! I know it's a gifthorse and all, but the Jones ebike looks like a more capable design. Your business could be making custom parts for ebikes as well as your main products.
I want to see some riding shooting at the same on it 😂. You building looks like it’s in the same area of town, the company I work for is in. Yes, the company is office in the Tampa area.
Woa..north VA? Home!
Just chiming in to let you know the only way I’m watching you do a bike review is if you have dual .50s welded to the frame.
This will confuse the overlords .. if there is not a .50 mounted to it how will they demonize the video… granted I am still in the pre roll adds. So let’s see :)
Needs a Phalanx CIWS for urban riding.
It's too bad we can't make inexpensive quality bikes like these here in America. Now the more important thought, Mark when are you going to mount the BFG-50 on it?
When you started riding it, you were either going to ride into the pond or crash. Sorry you crashed, the pond would have been way more funny.
Wow I wish I found your video before buying (I watched well over 10 videos on it!!). I ended up getting the Cobra and am very happy with it. I don't think you can get a better ebike for $2400
Now, if you can just mount one of the .50 cals on it, THEN it's a true markserbu machine.
I ride every other day, the old fashioned way, Man power!
Group C at first, then i watched, now group A lol... ALWAYS group A now after watching the end
Mark Serbu bike reviewer
I love my trek bought another after the wreck
does it have 2 motors? mid drive and rear hub? Is it actually carbon or just a decal?
Mark Serbu on an e bike? Next thing he'll be wearing Birkenstocks and a man bun
👍🏻👍🏻 always good content
You should get 50 miles on that if you can keep it under 25 mph and use PAS
Maybe you should have done some bunny hops
Ride Iowa you say? 🤔
toy army men in underwear video coming when??????? WE NEED THIS CONTENT
