More hideous Chinese crap design.

[@drzzit9666]

Nice bike, but a 1000w motor would interest me more

[@erpringle]

@@drzzit9666 I don't know why people can't get it through their heads that the motor is not what determines the wattage, it's the controller. A 750 watt motor is rated at that but it's the same motor as the 1000 watt motor 99%of the time. Amps times volts determines watts and most of the time that 750 watt motor is capable of upwards of 1800 watts without getting too hot.

[@microreniassance2929]

For those concerned about the 750 watt motor the motor puts out 1,090 Watts even though it's rated at only 750. It's been tested and that's the output at full acceleration or full power. Like someone said it's the controller that specifies the wattage. You can feed any amount of watts to that motor it's just if you go too high it's going to fry the motor.

[@carpediemarts705]

The 52v makes more of a day in the power than the power rating, but using the extra voltage rather than amps will make the battery last significantly longer.

[@pedrofernandez8729]

Russ is Right on You Tube has been riding one of these for months putting on hundreds of miles day after day with almost no pedaling and it has been absolutely reliable for all those miles. Excellent quality and reliability for the money

[@paulketchum6819]

Agreed. Pedro is right about Russ is Right. I think this is the best ebike on the market today. Ordering this soon!

Customer service is horrible.

[@EagleOne49]

I'm a new subscriber thanks to your awesome ebike reviews. I'm curious about the MagiCycle Cruiser Pro fit for a 6'-2" rider. Would you recommend adding an adjustable handlebar stem should I decide on this bike for a more upright riding position? Thanks in advance.

[@EbikeEscape]

Yes, a riser or adjustable stem, or both.

[@anthonydanna4786]

Magicyle Cruiser pro current price is 1,800 Sales tax included. Good Value and great review.

[@thomasfranta7028]

Looking forward to your thoughts on the new Magicycle Ocelot.

[@EbikeEscape]

They offered us one - we are just swamped (a good problem to have) so likely a winter review if we can swing it.

[@EagleOne49]

Thanks for the thorough review! I just sold my 2018 Voltbike Yukon 750 Limited which was trouble free. Since my 4-year old purchase, Voltbike has introduced a number of new models of fat-tire bikes. Video reviews of these new bikes are missing from YT. Do you have any interest in reviewing Voltbike fat-tire bikes in the future? Thanks.

[@EbikeEscape]

That is not a company we have on our radar. However they appear to make some nice ebikes. We will keep an eye on them in the future.

[@18andlikeit]

Good video! Bike looks great but it's geared to low for the highest gear with a 42t chainring and a 14t rear sprocket gear. A bike with this power needs a 52t to 11t like the Kepler. Much more comfortable with slower cadence at the highest speeds. I don't know why Magicycle picked this gearing for it. You were pedaling way to fast trying to reach 28mph imo.

[@familybusiness1417]

Do you work for Kepler because you are on every video comments with the exact same thing. Not one or two videos but everyone I come across.

[@18andlikeit]

@@familybusiness1417 Kepler isn't a company, it's a bike that Ariel Ryder sells. No I don't work for them. I was going to get the Kepler but decided to build my own Befang mid drive eMTB which is really the way to go imo. Way cheaper to build your own and you'll have the performance of a bike that costs way more. Didn't realize I posted the same thing that many times, but still, what I said is true.

[@familybusiness1417]

@@18andlikeit I know what Kepler is and what the specs are as well as other bike companies as I follow this. You have an agenda because you are in all the threads quoting the exact same thing word for word. I didn't read much of your comment because you are rambling. Stop trying to persuade people so aggressively and to address Ariel Ryder the Kepler is back ordered and there are massive complaints about people not having any info from them on when they are getting bikes. Some have been waiting 4 months as well as receiving no CS once they get the bikes because they have problems that aren't being addressed by the company. People are saying they are like a Chinese drop ship company and once you get it the transaction is done. What warranty? Be a better person

[@andyd8185]

Great Video .. as always... love to hear how detailed you get with all the different parts of the bike. I have a burning question that I'm sure many people looking to buy will ask you now that you have reviewed the latest ebikes ... Would you pick the magicycle or Himingway or Rad 6 plus ? all step thru... I am partial to Himingway but please relay your thoughts because I have some reservations about the magicycle having its controller on the outside front of the forward frame.... seems like trouble over the long run... Thankyou in advance for your reply. Andy

[@EbikeEscape]

Rad is going to have the largest customer service team, which is something that can’t be downplayed. However there are faster and better spec’d bikes on the market. Himiway has continually impressed us with their bikes. They seem to have some great value and pretty high feature sets for the price. MagiCycle uses a 52v system. Once you have ridden a 52v ebike, it is hard to go back. The controller being on the outside is a double edged sword. If you are just riding fire roads and around paved roads, it will not be a issue. And even in the case where there is a accident with it, at least it is easy to get to to replace…… unlike some other brands where it is tucked way up in the head tube. What I am getting at here, is without knowing your exact situation and knowing what you value about ebikes or the companies, I can’t give you an exact answer. However I hope the above column helps you at least a little bit with your decision. -JT

[@andyd8185]

@@EbikeEscape Thankyou I appreciate your thoughts and being 6’2” and 260lbs I am looking for my first ebike and I don’t want to have any problems if I can help it. I do want a powerful bike considering I am a bigger guy.. that said I am not a mountain biker and more over a green grass dirt trail and paved road rider. Do you think rad will come out with a new bike soon..? I know you are a rad bike lover.. what do you think

[@EbikeEscape]

The RadRover, RadCity, RadWagon and RadExpand were all just refreshed within the last year or so. I believe if they are to release anything new it might be something based around the RadRunner or it could be something new entirely. Not sure if it will be later this year or early next year. Shipping logistics is still tough. Also worth checking into Aventon bikes. They offer some good ebikes for value also. And are investing heavily into their customer service currently.

[@1norgman]

Hi, I have a question… I’m considering a Cruiser Pro (Mid Step-Thru) for my 5’-7” wife and I wanted to know is the step through height too high and do most people end up swinging their leg over the back rack….Thank you!

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Need to get ahold of an AR Kepler to review. If you lived by me I would loan mine to you for a few days.😂

[@adaboy4z]

$2k plastic fenders, basic shifter, exposed controller (rubber protective plate $40 should be included). 🤷‍♂️

[@raymondjones21]

Are any bike fenders not plastic? Just wondering. And Shimano 7 gear shifter is not "basic" though not the best. I now ride my Magicycle about 5 miles per day and the controller works just well but maybe I need one plate.

[@adaboy4z]

@@raymondjones21For $2K many bikes come with a higher tier shifter, aluminum fenders etc...

What bike do you like better at $2k? If you prioritize battery capacity, this can't be beat.

How do u turn the headlight on?

[@richardannett2493]

I keep wondering whether I can get a good workout on an ebike with a cadence sensor. Can't quite figure this out. What do you think and how should I do this?

[@EbikeEscape]

Depends on the bike. Can always ride in PAS and shift up to make it harder!

[@craig9160]

Nice bike but i am just not feeling that color. I really like the khaki/sand/desert powder coat paint jobs on other bikes such as Aventon and Magnum. Excellent review though thanks man.

[@EbikeEscape]

It is always awesome to see color options for ebikes. This blue is not for everyone.

[@joecoleman3834]

I love my Magicycle cruiser, but you’re right that the brakes suck. My Hemiway cruiser has the same brakes, but they work well. The only difference I can see is that the pads are different colors. Do you know if the battery in my Magicycle cruiser is interchangeable with the Magicycle Pro? Also, are both of the Magicycle bikes the same color? Where can you get accessories at a discount?

[@EbikeEscape]

I do believe the batteries are the same. There is the obvious Ah difference, but the fitment and frame appear to be the same. Yes both are offered in the same colors. Blue and White. We have a accessories on sale page and I hate to say it, but amazon is your best opportunity. ebikeescape.com/ebike-accessories-on-sale/

[@BullzOfSteel]

I couldnt find the adjustable stem on their website for an accessory? What brand would work for this model?

[@EbikeEscape]

There are quite a few options out there. And it may be worth looking at how you want the cockpit adjusted. But here is an adjustable stem that should work for you: amzn.to/3E4tMyj (affiliate link)

[@BullzOfSteel]

could u do a comparison of this with the Ariel Rider Kepler?

[@EbikeEscape]

If they ever get the Kepler back in stock we will definitely consider it. Currently out of stock until Mid to End of October.

[@BullzOfSteel]

@@EbikeEscape and sadly those are all back orders. Im thinkin about ordering one later tonight, worried if i keep waiting they might have more back orders till after christmas :O. I keep seeing many good reviews on it and it just seems sooo similar to the magicycle cruser pro, but im actually curious on how both could be compared to each other due to how similar they seem. Though the keplar does have a better/safer placement for the computer, and has those adjustable handbar stem like you wished magicycle had. seems to have more torque, and speed, while also being able to throttle over 20 mph (not that you should), and its 100 dollars less. So im leaning heavily towards the kepler due to these different factors which all seem more positive.

[@kevinlangdon7096]

Do you know if the Magicycle Cruiser 52v battery is interchangeable with the Ariel Ryder Kepler 52v battery?

[@EbikeEscape]

We are not sure. We are hoping to review a Kepler later this year. If we do, we can see about comparing the two.

[@kevinlangdon7096]

@Ebike Escape I have the keeper 52 and love it! Just can't find a 2nd battery. Magicycle battery looks identical

[@King-dz3zk]

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 put it at 20 miles

[@microreniassance2929]

Turn the stem handlebar boss over. The factory assemblers are getting it wrong. Problem solved with the height and the screen angle.

[@EbikeEscape]

Good tip

[@karenaknight4383]

I love electric bicycle! Do you?

[@SolarizeYourLife]

Tubeless?!? And I prefer a belt drive, wish they would offer a gearbox version...I would add a hood to the display...

[@EbikeEscape]

Unfortunately, you cannot use a gearbox version without a mid-drive motor (as the hub motor and gearbox would take up the same space). Check out Vvolt. They might have something that fits what you are looking for a bit more.

The Kepler is a fast and capable ebike. But unfortunately, it doesn't fit into current US ebike regulations and it has been out of stock for a couple of months. -JT

[@erpringle]

@@EbikeEscape if you upgraded the controller to a 33 amp instead of the weak ass 20 amp in the magicycle, it would be the same bike. The only reason the motor peaks at 1000 watts is the 20 amp controller. Do the math, 20x52 is 1040 watts. If you put a 30 amp controller in it you would have 1560 watts peak power. Amps x volts = watts. That motor is quite capable of 2000 watts without running too hot, trust me.

[@wyattatkinson7322]

40 dollars that stupid skid plate? C'mon should be included with the bike honestly since they went with the whack idea of putting the controller outside the frame!

[@EbikeEscape]

That would be nice

Thanks for sharing your experience. Can you discuss more of what happened?

[@JoeyToronto]

​@@EbikeEscape I bought a bike but cancelled it 12.5 hours after because I wanted to buy a cheaper bike. They charged me a cancellation fee because their policy says after 12 hours there will be a penalty of %5 even though I cancelled 12.5 hours after, then they took forever to refund me and when they did they refunded partial of cost, instead of USD, Canadian dollars. I contacted their chat and they kept me waiting for an hour with no resolution and said their internet is not working. NEVER AGAIN. I filed a dispute with my cc company to recoup whatever they owe me.
