Magicycle Cruiser - Range Test Throttle only

[@davidrim8309]

That was good. You should have brought the HW battery with you for the ride home 😜

[@buffalomind6838]

Ah, that’s a great idea. Maybe he likes torturing himself. 😉 In general if you can it is a backup for whatever might be thrown your way during your outing.

[@miltonsokolovich4065]

Smart

Great test! Sorry you had to pedal it back without power. These bikes require a lot of effort to ride without the electric motor assisting. I recently received the step-through version to test. I have 100 miles on it so far and love it. It's my first e-bike so I'm getting used to managing the extra power. I'll be using mine as a commuter bike until I retire at the end of this year (2022). Thanks for all the great detailed information. The brakes have been improved on the current models. I heard that the earlier models suffered with poor brakes. I can skid my tires on mine - found out about that when a car pulled out in front of me and I had to make a quick stop. Take care!

[@boostercontrol100]

Awesome your videos so enjoyable. I rode yesterday been couple weeks had a blast.

[@markwexy1621]

Consider doing a follow-up video of your throttle only range test after riding it a couple hundred miles. I've noticed an increased range from my Magicycle the more miles I've racked. Maybe a break in is required. My percentage indicator seems lower than it really is while riding. But then after resting a minute jumps to what seems like a more accurate reading.

[@miltonsokolovich4065]

I like videos when I can watch you ride and check out the scenery

[@Michael._The_Storyteller]

Thanx for going through the Pain LOL another very useful video. I have my tires at 22 PSI, but I'm going up to 27 and see how that helps, I'm a big guy at 240+ if I need a smother ride I'll get a new center post to go with my Cloud9 seat.

Thanks again . Your reviews are the best !

[@jcc777]

Much appreciated real world test.

[@jbwjr54]

That was great! 24-25 miles that’s not bad!

[@rickgarcia8481]

That's damn impressive. Great job

[@rodbuck1986]

I have had my Magicycle Cruiser since the beginning of April, I have about 700 miles on it and routinely get 55-60 miles out of the bike.I do pedal maybe a bit more than the average rider , and don’t go any higher than PAS 2,and do love gunning that throttle for the speed factor a lot of times.I think a mileage range like that is great for combination battery/human power.Oh ya, I’m 68 years old and in great shape!

[@mickeyscott7479]

24.5 with the brake dragging is pretty damn good. I just ordered this bike and got the extra battery.

[@maxinesfeathers]

Great showing range test, MORE Please

[@ozzie444]

I would have figured you'd get around 30 miles. 52V x 15ah = 780Wh (Watt hours) / 25 Wh per mile = 31.2 miles. I use that formula. Of course it depends on where I'm riding; how much uphill vs downhill etc., but so far it's been fairly accurate. It can help you plan your route and avoid having to manually pedal or walk the bike home. I find an eBike is a lot harder to pedal than a regular bike when you've got no power cuz you're pushing the motor also.

[@buffalomind6838]

Thanks for your work . 24 miles is impressive considering it weighs a lot. Also as much as we want these electric vehicles to last 50- or better yet 100 miles it’s not feasible unless you had an insane electric battery strap to the bike, but then again the weight would be 40+lbs on its own. I look forward to the day where the efficiency of a small weight battery that has the capacity of a 100amps+ battery 🔋 strapped to any bike of your choosing. I have to go back and see what range you got out of the huge 21amp Beecycle which is a great amp to have. I can do without the color of the bike and maybe the top bar swoop.

[@fackeyutub-emael6545]

Delfast has an ebike

[@adamwaterhouse7412]

So that was pretty neat. But I'm more impressed by pedaling up to 28mph there. I think that's the real story on a 74lb bike...

[@CitizenCycle925]

It was downhill but I'm still surprised I got it that fast 😂

[@ericechipman1183]

When I shut my magic cycle off even for just a couple of minutes the battery build back up, I'm wondering what would have happened if you would have done that

[@madderbob100]

It doesn't build back up. The cells in the battery level out-but they will drop back down quickly once you get going again

[@danimayb]

It all comes down to voltage, Every ebike system will have a cut off point where it will give you no more power to safe guard the battery - The battery itself has a management system that will shut off at a certain voltage, And a typical controller will have a setting for that too.. That's when the fun is over and time to charge. When a battery is fully charged it will be at it's highest voltage, As it gets used that voltage will deplete.. But as you draw power the voltage will sag and bounce back again when realigning, That is what you see on an ebike display with an energy bar. So, The lower you are on voltage the lower towards the cut off you'll be when drawing power with that voltage sag, This will result in cut off temporarily and then you'll get power back when realignment gets you back to safe zone.

[@heidifilangie7547]

Only 24 miles? I was expecting a longer range than Himiway Cruiser. So Himiway's 28.5 miles still remains the top 1 in range for now? 🤔

[@2fasttjm972]

For sure that's why I bought the Himiway Cruiser, definitely the best Bang for the buck,💯% and when I use pedal-assist" I get 62 miles of range🤯and then some.🤠

@@2fasttjm972 62 miles for the weight of the bicycle is impressive indeed. What level are you using though as if it’s level 1 I wouldn’t call that impressive but torturous. Lol

[@buffalomind6838]

Not even close. The Bee Cool AKA Bee Explorer goes 40+ miles.😯

[@Top5ebikes]

I was able to get 25 miles out of the Magicycle (kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIKlYZiPZ6d8pKc) so pretty much the same result as you. Thanks for the video! You are one of the few other ebike channels doing these type of videos so we appreciate these as much as you! Also, I had a ride a heavier bike about 7 miles home after the battery died so after that happened I started riding closer to home haha

[@khronin]

You should add another hub motor and battery.I did it to mine after watching one of his videos and it makes a huge diffrence.You get incredible range and the weight of a front hub motor greatly reduces wheel hop when on offroad trails.

[@hankm16]

@@khroninik it been a while since you comment this but could you make a video on your Magicycle

[@flaxseedoil1000]

Have about 60 miles on my cruiser. Is it normal to turn it off, then back on and see the battery percentage increase? Mine will jump 10-20%. tia

[@firsttpt]

What was the total actual time for the final miles? For example, A MAX range of 20 miles, covered in an hour , is a very different result from traveling 20 miles in two hours. Without the time (mph) factored in, a lower powered bike with a smaller /lower amperage battery that has its "flat out" speed limited for economy by the factory ", might seem to be a better performer.

[@lonestartex1]

What was your PSI? Around 28mph for 24 miles is not bad

[@CitizenCycle925]

22psi

[@daveruttman6501]

Id love to see a range test with a Chinese mid drive motor. Seems like it might be more efficient? You could do throttle only and shift gears.

[@CitizenCycle925]

Is it possible to turn off and then ON again after a minute to "extract" a few more, yards?

[@2fasttjm972]

You should have took the Himiway battery with you for after the test, this way you could have cruised home🤔

[@AccordionSqueezer]

You should run the Himiway cruiser, and the Magicycle with that 52v17.5ah battery that you got from electrobikeworld... see if you can get 25 to 30 miles per charge like I do...

Nice area!

Try testing the HJM Bike

Those some loud tires

should turn around and head back at the halfway point:) or carry another battery

Was that 750 watts

What was the top speed that you were riding at?

The motor is extremely loud

[@grindzgaming6118]

When you are riding you rarely notice the noise

[@RVEnthusiast]

Wondering if his mic is picking up more noise than you would normally hear. some mics pic up everything and amplify if so much.

[@CitizenCycle925]

Some of that noise might have been tires also

[@stevesmith2097]

Nothing new. It's a non-branded battery.
