Himiway C3

What the Himiway C3 is built for

The Himiway C3 is a cargo e-bike built to carry shopping, gear or children.

It has a 750 W hub motor.

It carries a 960 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 80 miles (129 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The Himiway C3 carries up to 441 lb (200 kg) including the rider and uses a torque sensor, so the motor responds to how hard you pedal.

In the United States the Himiway C3 sells for $1,499, close to the median of $1,699 across 21 cargo e-bikes with a US price. That is $2 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Himiway C3 may be ridden

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 750 W motor is above the 250 W limit and its throttle moves it without pedalling, which the pedelec rules allow only as start-up help at walking pace. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Himiway C3 safety certification

The brand's listing for the Himiway C3 does not state a UL 2849 or EN 15194 certification. New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849 to be sold or rented there, and California requires certified batteries from 2026; ask the seller for the certificate before buying.
