Himiway Florida
Himiway Florida is the first special edition e-bike from Himiway that we’ll check out. Both Florida and California models have something specific to the states they’re tied to. But, as amazing as the designs are, they’re different - for a reason.
The Florida special edition e-bike displays an oceanic color scheme. It represents the famous South Beach in Florida.
The frame showcases alligators, the South Beach of Miami, the Conch Republic in Key West, and the well-known Southernmost Point on the handlebars. These are all specific graphics related to Florida, and that’s what makes this design special.
South Beach in Florida is one of the most memorable and well-known places in the US. Miami is one of the most famous cities in the world, and Miami Beach is probably the most prominent part. This is where families come to take a dip, suntan, and get their rest. It’s also one of the most tourist-dense areas of Miami, making it a perfect representation of this famous city.
It's common to refer to Key West as the Conch Republic. This is due to the fact that in 1982, the locals supported secession as a form of protest against the US Border Patrol, which had installed a roadblock and inspection at the entrance to US-1 and the Overseas Highway in search of illegal immigrants and drugs. That’s why this is one of the most memorable places in Florida, deserving its spot on this Himiway fat tire electric bike.
Lastly, the Southernmost point of Florida. This part of the design represents the Farthest Point South (the southernmost point of the continental United States), marked by a concrete buoy anchored near Key West, Florida. That’s what makes this one of Florida's most important geographical locations.
In other words, every inch of this e-bike is covered with Florida-related themes and topics, making this e-bike a perfect representation of what it’s all about in Florida - from what’s socially important to objects of historical and geographic significance.
The top bar also features a design of orange blossoms, which Florida is widely known for. Even small details such as this one draw the attention of admirers wherever you go, making this bike one of the most recognizable pieces of e-bike history and an excellent conversation starter!
The attention to detail is what stunned me when it came to this special edition. Himiway really thought of everything, even matching the wood from their rear rack to the whole theme of the Florida e-bike.
If you look closely, you’ll also find amazing details of palm trees and waves that will instantly make you think of Florida’s amazing beaches.
For that, if you’re from Florida or you currently live there, there’s no good reason not to consider this e-bike as the newest addition to your collection or, better yet, your first e-bike!
Himiway California
Himiway has done a similar thing for their California-themed fat tire e-bike. This limited line of e-bikes houses a unique purple-ish gradient color inspired by the skies of Southern California during sunset. When you think of Southern California, you think of that clear sky - and that’s a fact!
Anybody who had the pleasure of gazing at a Californian sunset knows what I’m talking about, and that’s exactly why Himiway went with this color scheme.
The colors become bluer towards the handlebar and develop a purple hue towards the seat. This gives the bike such a superb finish that even the paint job is extraordinary by itself.
As far as the rest of the bike goes, the iconic Golden Gate Bridge is visible on the left side of the design, as it’s one of the most iconic structures in California. Also, more and more e-bikes cross the Golden Gate Bridge every day. Imagine one of them being this limited edition Himiway California bike - now that’s a sight!
On the other side of the e-bike is a beautiful sunset scene at Venice Beach in Los Angeles. We’ve mentioned Miami Beach and the beauties that spot brings, but Venice Beach is another story! This iconic LA spot is the home to countless one-of-a-kind stands, shops, and other spots filled with memories, for both reidents and tourists.
Finally, the top bar features stars from Hollywood's Walk of Fame, with a bicycle in the center. Hollywood’s Walk of Fame has been the most listed reason for those who have visited LA in the last few decades.
People come just to see the Walk of Fame and experience the rest of Los Angeles and California. This iconic part of California’s charm deserved a spot on the Himiway’s e-bike.

So the special edition is the exact same specs as the normal Zerba? I was hoping they'd at least upgrade them to a Torque sensor, especially since they cost $300 more than the regular Zebra.
