At $1,299 delivered (no tax either) was hard to pass on the MC. The differences seem to be improvements, like the 52 volts, 3 amp charger vs 2 amps for the Himiway, color display, battery remaining percentage, power in from the left instead of thru the freewheel. Looking at the Himiway manual I don't see ways to set the PAS percentage levels like you can with MC.

Yeah they look very similar from afar. Once you get up close you realize they're not similar at all. First magic cycle has a way better frame design than Himiway.. ....That's the first thing . then you if you look at the motor you realize the motor cable access the motor different... ( easier to work on if you ever have to fix) and a few other small details, such as quality control🤔! But the most important thing of all. Is good customer service.. And it's clear ! That Hemingway does not have this.( 3 bikes 11month with no help.. But I do love riding the Himiway,. After writing the magic cycle I just felt it to be a more stable and comfortable ride. Just my opinion.... you're truly awesome Kyle ! thanks for everything you do for us 🙏💯👍🍾🍻

The way I see it, Magicycle's low price was enough for me to pick it. I'm also finding that the frame is easier for me to modify, since the screws that hold the battery link and lock block can also be used as mounting points for a custom battery box.

Also installed the hybrid Juin calipers from Bolton, really like the improvement. Not feather light effort like my brother's full hydraulic shimano's but much better than stock. A bit pricey but super simple install vs converting to full hydraulic.

You could point out that the frames, while similar, are different. And although they both have 750w motors, they are not the same brand. The Magicycle does not run the power cord through the center of the axle, so I would expect the axle to be stronger on the Magicycle.

If I had to choose between these two it would be Himiway based on shear ethics. A lot goes into the development, design, engineering, aesthetics, marketing, website design, product promotions, etc... For a new company to come along and copy another companies bike is ethically unacceptable. I wouldn't care how much I could save with Magicycle. The Chinese knock off's across so many other industries is a multi BILLION dollar industry and it will never stop unless they feel the financial impact. I'd support Himiway 100%! I'm currently looking for my first e-bike and just overwhelmed at the number of choices. That's a two edged sword, too many choices to pick from can paralyze a person from making a decision but on the other hand it makes for good competition to keep the prices in check. Thanks for all the great content Area 13....

What part of the Himiway bike is truly custom in-house designed that was copied? It is a race to the bottom of profit vs price in the e-bike market. If you look at all your 750w rear motor 4" fat-tire bikes under $2k, at least 60% of each bike will have parts in common with at least one other bike. There might be some trendsetters, but when what makes your bike unique consists of off-the-shelf parts in a new fancy combination, then you can't legitimately call foul play. You can't patent the e-bike. Unless you patented some part that Magicycle is using, it is just bad faith bullying.

Of the 2 bikes I'd prefer the MagiCycle. Ok they seem similar to the Himiway, but I thought Himiway was copying the Rad Rover when they first showed up on the scene. A hub drive fatty is pretty much a hub drive fatty. Starting to look like the car industry. Little innovation but lots of imitation. Hard to be too innovative though, as the tech to propel you on two wheels has been around for a while and most of the kinks have been worked out.

I honestly would prefer the Cheetah bike. But if I had to pick between Magicycle and Hemingway, I would go with the Hemingway due to their reputation. As I feel like Magicycle has harmed their reputation, simply by the appearance of having copied the Hemingway almost to a microscopic level. Now if my dad was still alive, I am sure he would have gone with the Magicycle. The only problem with that was, that he felt like if you had a car you did not need a bicycle or there was no longer a use for a bicycle.

got this bike and I was riding it for a few days to get a feel of it and I didn't like it compared to my other ebike. I asked to return it these guy said it has to be less than 10 miles and when i talked to the agent about returning it he never mentioned once about riding it less than 10 miles for it to be accepted for return. It's like their hiding that 10 miles so if you go past it you have no other option but to pay for a bike u don't like. In addition, I ordered a front basket with this bike and it's been 4 weeks and I still haven't received it. Also, the free bag didn't come till after 21 days. Terrible customer service and bad product. Wouldn't buy from here again if they don't want you to know that you can't return it past 10 miles atleast make it 20 miles.

The 2 year warranty is also pretty much useless here. And if a part goes wrong, you have to jump through hoops to prove it and you have to pay for the spare and the delivery too.

I would and did choose Bolton(Area 13). Had to replace my PAS on yjr Hemi Cruiser. It was not hard, but not knowing much about ebkes it took effort. Part was free. "shipping" was $16(the part is plastic and about the size of a half dollar.The 1st ride I did after replacing PAS I went uphill for a mile and a half the motor overheated. Hall sensors maybe. So with 160 miles on it it's awaiting me to troubleshoot and repair.Since I was afraid of losing the summer I decided to retrofit my MB with a kit.I needed someone I could trust to pick parts better than myself and Himiway. So I picked Area !3. When whomever handed out customer service Area 13 must have gotten Himiway"s share of customer service along with there on. Had to buy a puller for 1st repair, got to get a larger one for the motor. The Himiway battery is working well on my Area 13 build.

The best way to change the power is to change the controller and imo the best way to go is a phaserunner controller because of the tweak ability of it. Yes, it is more money but it is worth it to me. You can get up to 90 amps and it is compatible with up to 72 volts I believe and they are very compact. It has field weakening for an added boost and it is completely computer programmable. Well worth the money. I have one on my home built bike and love it. I prefer the himiway for it's 17.5ah Samsung battery. Even at 48 volts it's a better battery with more range. Added amps would make up for the 52 volts. Himiway all the way for me. Great video.

You say that you can't feel a difference in the batter, but a higher-voltage battery 52v provides greater efficiency, with the battery using less electricity to provide the same or better power for the bike. If I had the option, I'd always choose a higher voltage battery just for efficiency and less stress on the controller, IF the controller isn't a cheap on. :)

If Himiway was serious about the issues with Magicycle, an attorney would have written and sent the letter. Instead, a PR Spin Doctor, sends a letter to a disinterested third-party - Bolton eBikes? Hilarious! Magicycle copies Himiway after Himway copies Rad. The Himiway bikes appear to be made by Haidong. Since Haidong and Himiway share the same warehouse address in CA, it wouldn't be a surprise Himiway is the marketing arm of Haidong. (Or by coincidence, they are located in the same warehouse complex?) All Maigicycle has to do to kick Himiway's silly ass is actually provide meaningful customer service and not procrastinate, stall and delay in the same manner as Himiway. I have no idea of what it's like to deal with Magicycle. But after beating my head against the wall over multiple issues with my Himiway Cruiser - "Friends Don't Let Friends Ride Himiway".

Every eBike manufacture uses the same suppliers for the equipment, such as the LG or Samsung batteries. Just like the PC, nobody make they own parts, they all came from different suppliers, such as the chips or the video cards. Same as the automobiles, many parts are from different suppliers, like Magna? So I guess Himiway can't say Magi copied their brand. I agree with the website, but not the bike. I have compared many 20" fat tires Ebikes, the Himi Big Dog and the Magi Ocelot Pro were my final picks, I have decided to go with the Magi because it has a more clean look and better reviews, and yes, they both look completely different, except the parts that came from the same suppliers.

Five Guys burgers vs. In N Out Dbl Dbl... Hard to compare when one is $8 and the other is $4. Five Guys might be better (but) at twice the price? Err, no way. Magicycle is way cheaper. Basic math is it's a better deal. You do need to go into the setup and change the initial setup for the PAS settings. It jumps on PAS 1 (too much). I set mine closer to the Rad Rover 5 settings (5 levels at even settings). I did the Bolton Junitech brakes too and it was very much needed. One thing I don't like is the PAS sensor will not kick in at times. If I'm going 22 mpg and set PAS to highest stetting - it knows I shouldn't engage because I'm traveling over 20 mpg. It almost feels like it want to downshift to slow you down like a manual transmission on vw bug. Not cool - but very good bike for the price. Got mine for 1200.

Nice to see you as your normal self before you got hit by medical problems. My eldest son is a translator in Mandarin so he has dealt with a lot of Chinese manufacturers so it's interesting that there are lawsuits between these two Ebike suppliers and I say suppliers because neither of these two companies actually manufacture anything. Design perhaps but China does not honour patents so it should be thrown out.

Why does everyone keep saying magicycle is cheaper? Just went to both sites, both are the same price. What am I missing here? Also, not sure a company that outrights steals the competitors site, and doesn't even bother to at least change the all the names, can be trusted.

I did recently buy a Bolton and, after watched this vid, have no regrets whatsoever. I researched ebikes hard. Yes, we could buy direct from china. Good luck if issues arise. Good luck also finding parts later. I want someone in the USA I can talk to if an issue arises. I have been very happy with my bike. P.S. I’m 73. If I can do it , you can do it.

Is MagiCycle so fly by night that they have to stoop to stealing Himiway's web content? I I know these brands are discount, but that's really discount. I would rather pay up for quality rather than deal with a brand that is so utterly ghetto.

I'm ~380lb, living in a mountainous area, and trying to get into ebiking, on the bolton site the only thing I found was "The Lancer" 19in. Which IS actually rated for my weight, but even at 3000$ it still lacks all the basics like fenders and racks and the seating position looks kinda aggressive but I can't tell. All of these points are moot anyways caz the 19in lancer is sold out.

I purchased my Himiway in 2019, love it. I'm now in the market for one for the wife. Looking at the Magicycle because of the 52 volt system. I'm 6' & 270Lbs. any added torque for the hills would be a benifit worth dropping to a 15mh over the 17.5mh battery on the himiway??
