Man, really nice video. Not a lot of wasted time on BS. Direct and to the point and probably the best reviewer I've seen. Cool bench with the plants on each end. I'm a new fan of the channel. Peace

[@SMG-lz1zq]

Wow, the Magicycle as the new kid on the block is coming out strong! Nice display, power, and what a deal especially with $200 off with your code. What's not to like!

[@CitizenCycle925]

solid competitor for sure, i guess we will see more feedback soon because i think a bunch of people bought these.

[@yangtaylor6105]

Having my bike for 1 month, the quality is impressive which is far beyond my expectaion, love it!

[@dalesmith336]

Just got the Magicycle pro and it is everything you said in review. The hydraulic brakes are a must. The only thing I would comment about is the display can’t be read with polarized sunglasses. It becomes totally black.

[@ericechipman1183]

Another great video ,thank you, now if you could find us brake pads replacement that would be great for the magic cycle

[@JimboP-Outside]

Awesome video, thank you 👍 Got my Magicycle about a week ago. Other than the brakes, I’m enjoying it.

[@michaelh8299]

Which is more comfortable for a long ride, Magicycle or the Biktrix Stunner?

[@Michael._The_Storyteller]

great Video, I think this is the Company that Makes the Bike for Himiway, The Battery is the same, the first time I saw this Co. and this bike it had the Himi frame this looks just a little bit different, but that price is a huge factor for so many people these days. again much love for the videos from the PNW

Just ordered a Cruiser Pro. It comes with hydraulic brakes. I guess Magicycle heard about the braking concerns and addressed them by coming out with the Pro series bike.

[@kjohns1413]

That display and the settings I'll admit are impressive. My DIY bikes dont have any of those settings. BBSHD you have to program it manually. Someone should do a tear down to see the controller, battery cells used. Let's see what kind of quality these bikes are.

[@CurtisDrew1]

I am with you Frank. I am 6'2" 235 lbs and bulked up so I need a taller size bike I can ride without a lot of bending over. I'm 70 YO, so my days of riding my road racing bikes are behind me now. I just want one I can ride comfortable into town 24 miles to hang out with the Grandkids. My wife is 5' 2" 105 lbs so we need to find diffferent bikes for our extremes.

[@BillSferrazza]

10I have been going back and forth between the Snapcycle r1/s1 and the Magicycle Cruiser. I test drove two e-bikes locally, a Biria folding bike with a cadence sensor and a Trek cruiser with a torque sensor. My wife and I found the Biria to have almost too much power when the assist kicked in. Even in PAS 1. Is this common on all bikes? We would both still like to use the bicycles to get some exercise and have the pedal assist there for when we need it. The torque sensor was a much more linear feeling. I see the Magicycle has a way to set the power of each PAS leaves where the Snapcycle does not. I d appreciate any input as we are completely new to e-bikes. Thanks again!

[@irishdevil258]

First thank you for your thorough videos, you are awesome! I'm so torn though. I will definitely be purchasing an Ebike. I want something strong on hills and fast on flats but I'm only 5'6" and worry about having to stand on my tip toes. My top 3 picks are Magicycle, Ariel X48 (rather have x52 but the price is high), or that EMX (I think that's what it's called out of Canada). Do you have any suggestions given what I'm looking for and for my size?

[@yeowzaa7686]

G'day Mr Irish ,I own a very similar spec fat bike and I'm 5'5" and 62 years old ,when pedaling I have full leg extension on my pedals ,When stopping at red lights I use the kerb (gutter) to stand on while seated and if no curb I just stand on one pedal and step down to the ground off the seat ,very easy very safe .I was hesitant too about the size as I'm not very heavy but now I've passed 4000 km (2500 ml)accident free and still going hard. My bike specs ~13amp 48 volt still charges to 55.4volts after 2 years It has an 11~34 cogs on the back and 28~38~48 sprocket on the front which gives me 52+kph about 31mph.it has 203 mm discs and as much carbon fibre parts as I could find online plus extra lights ,alarm and assorted crap. I've not changed my tyres yet (kenda) 80%wear rear and the front still looks new but I have snapped 2 front brake cables . Don't let the size put you off the most fun you will ever have on a bike .good luck with your choice and I hope this helps.

@@yeowzaa7686 thank you! I appreciate your input. That definitely gives me more confidence in my selection.

[@surfinguitarist]

Hey Bryan, Thanks, another great review. I purchased a Magicycle and I'm waiting for it to come in right now. I already know, from all of the reviews I've read, that I will want to upgrade the brakes and probably to hydraulic. Have you done any hydraulic brake upgrades on any of your ebikes? Any recommendations?

[@CitizenCycle925]

I added hydraulic calipers once to a bike which improved the braking a little bit, never added full hydraulic brakes though, I would like to tackle that project at some point. Just need to find some that fit

[@miltonsokolovich4065]

I think I'm sold the magicycle will be mine soon

[@E-Ryders]

I bumped the controller amps to 20 instead of the max 22, heard some people having motor issues and noises with the max 22 setting.

Maybe that's what was causing the motor noises, maybe I'll turn it down.

Man I love your info and comparisons , thanks to you I bought a himiway cruiser back in April of this year mainly for the speed it gets up to and the large battery. I've got 2000 miles on it now and had very little problems with it . Customer service is what made me hesitant but they've been really fantastic and quick to respond . My main issue is I can't find any tires for it in stock anywhere can you help ? Since you mess with so many different ones I figure your the one who can direct me to whatever company sell them . I would be forever in your debt. Oh by the way I'm planning on making me a frankenstein bike of my own after winter thanks for the inspiration .

[@CitizenCycle925]

Glad you are enjoying your himiway and that it has been mostly trouble-free. I see a couple 26x4 tires for sale on Amazon and Walmart websites. They are definitely out there are you looking for a specific brand? Why not build the Frankenstein bike through winter that way it's ready to ride for summer...

You had me until you mentioned the motor. Don't know if it could be just in a few bikes or if it could be a design flaw in the motor itself. Would hate to have to replace the motor as soon as I receive the bicycle

[@johngoodwyn8246]

Hey CC can you try some different brake pad's and give a review,also i know owner's of these bikes have gone with hydraulic caliper's and know there are several offerings. I do have this bike on order. Thanks for all you do.

[@CitizenCycle925]

I did throw a new set of brake pads on it yesterday and gave it a try they were a little bit quieter but it didn't really help the stopping power at all probably need to change to hydraulic calipers to get better stopping power

[@Hoggdoc1946]

Also look at the rotor and make sure the pads are hitting all of the braking surface. If not the caliper brackets need to be machined to drop the pads down.

You know how we think, think about it. Itll be small headache, so i understand. But your near the merchandise that the rest of us in the boones arent. Im 300 miles from a reliable ebike shop. And they are not helpful, the only place that really went the extra mile for me, was The Electric Boarding Co. In Florida, and for context , i am in kentucky.

I JUST ACQUIRED A SNAPCYCLE AND IT HAS THE TECTRO MECHANICAL BRAKES AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE VERY DECENT STOPPING POWER HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOISY AND DO NEED ADJUSTMENTS MORE THAN I PREFER YET, I FEEL PAYING $150 OR SO TO UPGEADE TO HYDRAULICS WOULD NOT BE SUPER COST EFFECTIVE HOWEVER, IT SEEMS WITH THE $200 DISCOUNT ON THE MAGICYCLE, SUCH AN UPGRADE TO HYDRAULIC MAY BE A GIVEN, EH? "WINK"

[@seriouskite]

RE: display have you gone into advanced settings and can you bump up the speed? I saw this display is Himiway compatible, if so and being "brains of the operation" we may have a Himi fix for the after February delivery folks (me). Finding out the Himi display going to 46 max (mine) 99 (yours) is a delimiting to the limiter. If a big IF this Magicycle display or another display is compatible to Himi we can bypass the limiting 46 and go to 99. The extra 10 mph bullet in the holster is worth it. As always nice work , edit is a biotch but you have improved over the years (YEARS- WoW) and really good quality. As always if this is a FIX, set it up where we can purchase thru your affilliate program. Or maybe another display with your spare HIMI to unlock the full potential. Ride-0N

[@ozzie444]

Here is the solution to the Himiway new models having the speed restriction lowered. Actually the Magicycle appears to have very similar display and very likely from the same manufacturer......kzbin.info/www/bejne/bauVaXlrqq9lrNE

My understanding...having done months of research, was that Magicycle "ripped off" many of the trademarked protected and intellectual properties from Himiway Bikes. I'm also to understand...after watching many KZbin vids that MC also ripped off Himi's website with copy right infringement. I'm a little confused now.

Hi, I’m researching to buy my first ebike, thanks for all your thorough reviews! I am looking for a leisure bike, fat tire for mostly road and easy trails/gravel roads use. I am 6’6” and weigh 230, inseam measures 35”. I am interested in Magicycle as it looks to be able to handle my size and handle bars are up higher than most bikes, I would like to ride in as much an upright position as possible. Does the seat go high enough for my size? Are cables slack enough in front to add a handlebar extension? Did you change brake pads and did it improve braking? Do you think it would be a good first bike for me? Thanks for your time!

I'm sorry how much are they again and what is the the approval code you said you get $200 off

[@williamjohnston3770]

This is the best review to give a hi level comparison of performance. One of my main concerns with most of these bikes isn't just that they're made in China, but that they really don't have a US support base once you own it 15 months down the road and a motor, battery or controller dies and if the support it they want you to send it to China. Thanks for sharing and putting in the time for the rest of us newbs.

[@Hoggdoc1946]

You are 100% correct, thats why it is important to buy a bike that uses standard components like the Himiway and Magicycle. That way even if you can't get support you can find replacement parts. BTW unless you with a uber expensive EU bike your choices are limited to Chinese brands.

[@realeyesrealizereallies6828]

Magicycle owns the factory, it's a good choice with good customer support...

When you cycle thru the PAS levels via the up button... do the levels stop at the max PAS level automatically or will it return to 0 and keep going up over and over?

[@SMG-lz1zq]

I know with my 2020 Radrover after you go up to level 5, you have to use the down button to get back to 0. I would assume this is the same.

[@Hoggdoc1946]

Some observations from a Himiway owner. If he hasn't programmed the controller on the Himiway to 25 amps from stock 20 amps he is missing a bunch of power. The Aventon has terrible customer service as witnessed by complaints on a number of forums, The Magicycle is from a brand new company that claims having a history of building ebikes buy aI have found no record of that.

[@sobebikes3225]

Another super fantastic review my friend! So want to ask you if that magic cycle battery will work on the Himiway? I'm not sure if he tried it or not, Thanks in advance my brother🍻

[@CitizenCycle925]

I put the magicycle battery in my himiway cruiser and it worked. Although I don't know the repercussions of putting a 52-volt battery into a 48-volt system, It's probably not ideal, but it does fit in there and power the bike on.

[@teymac8127]

I thoroughly enjoy your reviews on the sub $2500 ebike market. Since you frequently reference the RadRover in your reviews I would like to see your take on how the RadRover 6 Plus stacks up to the new competition. I know from watching other reviews that the Rover is still not one of the faster bikes in it’s class, a factor that is important to me, but certainly not all other potential bike shoppers. Furthermore, it has had some significant improvements with the addition of hydraulic brakes and semi integrated battery. I think potential shoppers might benefit, and enjoy your every man take, about whether it represents a good value in spite of it’s short coming’s.

[@markwexy1621]

Good stuff. I have a Magicycle. I tore off the tacky sticker decals on the battery and fork and now it looks way cooler.
