Himiway D7: real range, hills and charging
A 180 lb rider on the Himiway D7 at 16 mph with relaxed pedaling over rolling hills (±2%) on pavement can expect about 55 miles per charge (44–66 mi), using 15.7 Wh per mile. The brand claims up to 80 miles. That is about 69% of the claim. On throttle only over hills it drops to about 36 miles.

Can the Himiway D7 climb hills?
Highest steady speed on each grade, motor at an estimated 1,600 W peak, limited by its 96 Nm of torque. A 10% grade is a steep city street; 15% is a hard hill.
| Rider | 5% grade | 10% grade | 15% grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 180 lb, throttle | 20 mph | 16 mph | 12 mph |
| 180 lb, pedaling | 20 mph | 17 mph | 13 mph |
| 250 lb, throttle | 20 mph | 13 mph | 10 mph |
| 250 lb, pedaling | 20 mph | 14 mph | 10 mph |
Steepest grade at 8 mph (180 lb): 24% on throttle, 26% with moderate pedaling. Peak power lasts for short hills; on long climbs motors fall back toward their 1000 W nominal rating.
