Electric bike brand Himiway was founded in 2017 and since then has gone from strength to strength in the blossoming e-bike market. After first launching e-bikes in the US and Canada, Himiway now has a global dealer network, an expanding e-bike range and is passionate about promoting sustainable, green travel. Himiway aims to reach a million cyclists in over 30 countries around the globe.
Himiway enjoyed a strong 2022 with e-bike usage helping reduce carbon emissions by 32,700 tonnes. This was achieved by over 100,000 Himiway e-bike users. The opening of a flagship US store in San Diego and a network of 300 dealers across the US meant people could attend over 30 test ride events and expos across the country.
Himiway recently held its latest product launch event which championed a new brand slogan of ‘Further every way’ highlighting the Himiway team's work and their commitment to carry out this work with real moves, not just words.
