Most city or urban e-bikes are usually designed for dwelling on paved roads, which means they get the basic comfort without minding the random potholes and bumps along the way. Himiway, the e-bike maker specialised on long-range models, is now revolutionizing how commuter electric bikes should be with the new high-end A7 Pro.
Himiway A7 Pro is a city e-bike with a hunch of off-road bike tech
The Himiway A7 Pro was unveiled alongside the off-roader C5, and both bikes are now launching. Named as a “Pro” entry, the A7 Pro focuses on ultimate ride comfort and design refinements. It has a four-bar linkage rear shock absorber, which you can find on some high-end mountain bikes. This greatly eliminates vibration, which you can notice even when you’re riding inside flat or paved bike lanes.
The rear suspension is coupled with a Suntour X1 Boost front fork with 120 mm travel and a pair of 27.5×2.4-inch Schwalbe city tires for reduced friction and wrapped on a 13-inch stainless steel spoke wheel. For maximum comfort, the seat post is adjustable and has an ultra comfort saddle. Unlike on the Himiway C5’s 7-speed gearbox, the A7 Pro has a 9-speed Shimano Derailleur.
Himiway A7 Pro features more range in a lightweight build
Despite the large 720 Wh battery capacity, the Himiway A7 Pro only tips the scale at 77 lb (ca. 35 kg) weight with 300 lb (ca. 136 kg) max payload support. This is primarily due to the aerospace-grade aluminum frame—even so, the pedals and kick stand are made of aluminum alloy. Likewise, this battery size gets you a 50-mile range between charges, which is higher compared to what you’re getting from most e-bikes in its class.
The LG-made battery cells power the 500 W mid-drive motor, which is integrated with a torque sensor for a seamless electric pedal assist. The setup produces 130 Nm of torque, which is useful for quicker starts and easier climbs in ascending roads. Riders can adjust the speed through the thumb throttle.
In regards to safety, Himiway’s A7 Pro has 180-mm hydraulic brakes in front and rear. There’s an auto-illuminating stop light while the handle bar houses the 48 V LED headlight, integrated color LCD screen to display battery range and bike data, and USB 3.0 charging, among others. You can also find an ABUS bike lock integrated into the rear wheel.

Himiway has priced the A7 Pro for $2399, but this price is slashed by $200, dropping the final price to $2199 shipped using the ‘nextpit200‘ code at checkout.
