Having a large spark is pretty normal on DIY ebikes with xt-90 connectors. Having a battery with on/off though helps. The one thing on this bike that surprises me is the settings in the screen is more than what you have on most ebikes. To be able to program your pedal assist levels on the fly without programming cable is huge, and should be on all ebikes.
The nice color screen with customizable power/pas settings was a big selling point for me - I want to dial my first couple levels down to be really low for getting exercise and range, and tune one of the upper levels to match a comfy cadence on the highest gear
@@rjpugz9424 I’m in NY too, western NY. Been lucky with the weather up until today anyway. I think you’ll have times to ride, maybe a sweatshirt but still doable. 👍
@@rjpugz9424 what’s up RJ, ordered my Cruiser 9/30. Through a bunch of emails with their support team they said Fed Ex lost it. A 100.4 lb oversized parcel is just simply..lost.? As of 3 days ago, shipping told me they would have a new one sent out within 2-3 business days. Curious, what did they tell you about shipping time frame? Thanks, Scott
Great review. I just purchased the Cruiser Pro and waiting for it to arrive. I appreciate your analysis on this bike. It is my first Ebike and i am in my 60's. Thank you for your opinion and going over the options.
Might be good to put a big mud flap on the front fender to protect the controller, also might consider creating a plastic cover for it that could maybe zip-tie on - even something crude like a milk jug cut down and painted
@@JimboP-Outside has anyone expressed any kind of complaint with the controller getting buggered up or caked with mud and debris so far? If so, definitely need a solution for that little holiday.
Not sure if you now know but Magicycle does make a skid plate for this now. Only know because I saw it in the accessories list. Of course I had to buy one and about $400 worth of other things. Cant wait for my bike to arrive! Ordered it Friday!
i received this bike on may the 7th was damaged in shipping , today is 6/16/22 support still has not sent the parts , if you receive a damaged bike send it back! support is horrible!
@@JimboP-Outside i have not tried the facebook group , i will try , thanks for that , i have tried the live chat several times with the same promise ,every week i call and e-mail even get tracking numbers that never get picked up from the carriers . just want everyone to know if you get a damaged bike send it back , don't except it .
I’m sure there will be a way to retrofit the new light in the place of the fitted one. Great review, I only wish we could get it in Scotland without the hilarious custom charges.
also, HIMIWAY (clone) has the controller in the same location. Not hearing any complaints from other reviews. I might look at adding "extra" protection for it and the lower cables.
Yeah, I almost think Magicycle is a direct copy of Himiway. I saw one guy even interchange the batteries. They fit each bike perfectly, although different voltages.
glad yours works, I've had mine for almost 2 months and was able to use it for 2 days before the battery and or the charger stopped working. They sent me a replacement charger and it doesnt work either. They now say they will send a new battery, but if I can't charge it what is the point?
You got a really good price on it. I like this bike. One of the very few 52 volt 750 watt bikes out there. Most of the fat tire commuter bike are 48 volt.
First time to your channel, JimboP - and a new subscriber. Nice video! I really enjoyed your thorough and systematic review of the Magicycle Cruiser. You pointed out issues (with solutions) that I haven't seen on other reviews - very helpful! It's obvious that you are an experienced biker. I'm currently looking into getting an e-bike and am considering the Magicycle due to its power and built quality. Your video is helping me with this consideration. I currently ride two very old (but really nice) Schwinns, one is a 1995 Classic Cruiser (100th anniversary bike), and the other is a 1981 LeTour Tourist 10-speed - both in excellent condition. I trade off on each bike all through the riding season, putting about 700+ miles on them per year. When in my 20s I used to do 70+ mile rides, now I do 30 miles or less per ride. I still ride the 10-speed up one of Peoria's longest bluff hills with minimum difficulty. This year I turn 65 and am looking for a bike to do longer rides with somewhat less effort. I'll probably go with the Magicycle, but the Beecool Bee Adventurer cruiser from Manchester is a close 2nd with a little more range and battery. Thanks again and enjoy your rides!
Thank you Larry, really glad the video helped you out. 👍 I had a nice Trek 4600 that I’d ride often, like you, but in my older years me knees get a bit stiff sometimes sore. An e-bike is such a huge relief since I can still ride/pedal but also get a brake from the motor. Good luck with your research, enjoy your new ride!
@@JimboP-Outside in 1977 I purchased an early Trek model before their name was popular. It was a 10-speed touring bike, custom ordered so I could get their 26 inch frame. I kept it until about 13 years ago. It was always a joy to ride but as I got older I no longer wanted to slouch down to ride with the down-turn handlebars. I understand what you are talking about in terms of getting older. I'm ready for some assistance and plan on riding the e-bike into work until I retire later this year. I went ahead and ordered the Magicycle like yours. They are shipping it today and I'll do a video review on my wife's UA-cam channel (Under the Median) when it comes in. Thanks again for all your helpful information!
How did you fit the right side mirror on your bike next to the shifter. The handle bar seems too short starts going down did you move the shifter or grip over? I bought the same mirrors through your links had no problems installing the left one. Thank you. I’m in the Facebook magicycle group also!
Hey Tom! Yes, these were both tight fits. Only way I could install was the left one wrapped around the outside of the handlebar while sitting on the bike, but the right side had to be installed on the inside of the handlebars. Not sure if this makes sense or if I can post pics, but if you look at time stamp 2:22 which is somewhat of a closeup of the mirrors, you should be able to see what I mean. If not contact me on FB and I’ll send pics. 👍
Great informative post thank you Jimbo. I hear the freebie lock is on the cheap side? Do you know if the manufacturer has option for turn signals? Or…maybe after market set around? Thanks a heap, Scott
Thanks Scott 🙏 The freebie lock is certainly not the most secure, I would think a decent set of bolt cutters wouldn’t have much of a problem with it. Still, since I don’t plan on leaving my bike outside unattended for any amount of time (maybe quick errand, a coffee, bathroom break, etc.) it’s good in a pinch. Plus it’s free. But this is personal preference only…..if you intend to leave your bike out like perhaps going into an office building for a day, you would absolutely want to upgrade to something more robust. Regarding the turn signals, while I‘ve seen aftermarket sets for e-bikes in general I don’t see any offered by Magicycle at the moment.
@@JimboP-Outside from the ridiculous amount of time I’ve spent researching these bikes, I never thought there would be so many things to consider. Customer service is paramount to me (sides with product quality), I was reassured with Magicycle as I placed my order on a Sunday afternoon and they followed up with a initial invoice within the half hour. Had my cc get denied strangely but after speaking w/the bank we were fine. Last thing, if you had to guess, how long will it take to ship in your estimation? I know they’re flying off the racks.
@@skelley164 I’ve found Magicycle to be very responsive to emails, gratefully. For example each time I reinsert the battery into the bike (I prefer to charge in the house) it sparks. I told them and their engineers are developing a fix. Also, the mechanical brakes are not so great. They listened and will be upgrading at a later date. To your question though, I ordered on September 22nd and it was on my driveway on October 1st. Hope yours arrives soon, I really think you’ll enjoy it. I went for another 12 mile ride yesterday and had a great time!
@@JimboP-Outside awesome, looking forward. I saw your videos, or somebody’s regarding the disc brakes, was thinking I would swap out hydraulic calipers only. Also, I heard a couple people comment regarding that arcing or spark occurrence when reinserting the battery. I wonder if it is a real potential hazard issue? I think I heard somebody say their Himi did the same thing now and then? Idk. Thanks man
@@skelley164 This is exactly what I did…..I swapped just the calipers for Juin M1 hydraulics. Not only do they brake better, but they’re very quiet too. Regarding the arcing, I haven’t heard of any actual issues related to it. But I asked another UA-camr who just reviews e-bikes and he said several of his bikes do the same.

@@jamesnewsom5899 I actually made a video of the spark and sent it to Magicycle. They made me an offer…..take the video down and we’ll send you a bottom battery bracket (not sure of the correct term) which will have an on/off switch. And they did! Problem is, the switch broke after one use. I posted a video of it here on my channel.
I’m 6 foot 1 inch or about 2 meters. This is a somewhat tall bike, and my version is not a step through so I’m lifting a leg over. It’s not too tall for me, plus you can always lean it a bit to get on. If you have serious concerns it would be best to try one or a similar bike.
New subscriber here. This market is not that big. Those ebikes are "luxury" in a normal world where average pay is 7000$ a year. I love the brand they put a lot of thoughts into it, only missing the mark with hydraulic breaks pretty much. I much prefer hub motors vs mid drives in case your chain brakes motor got your back. Mid drive in the other hand are better for changing flats and 160nm of tourge compare to hubs that max out at 95nm at best. I am looking at Eunorau Fat-HD.
What up Mark; ordered mine yesterday afternoon for $1399.00. Like your 2nd light option. (I have a 100 Lumen head light) like it actually is on my head. Wonder if that would help? Has 3 adjustments of white light, a reddish colour option, or a flashing neon blue colour option. So any subtle tips when assembling? Also, any issues with your stock disc brakes? I’m also hoping the rear facing bike camera they have now conveniently somewhere it won’t hinder anything? I really don’t want to mount one or two wide mirrors as I’m gonna be hauling this bad boy up a flight bid stairs every day. Customer service team responded back to me within 30 minutes on a Sunday. So far so good. So tell me what you think when you have the time. I’d I don’t hear back; enjoy and happy cruising - Scott K Oh, one more thing, I’m not a fan of the amount of propaganda stickers on the sides. Was going to take it off aside from MAGI (maybe). Either that, or they’re all going. Looks a little cheesy imo.
Yeah, I agree. Almost a direct copy of Himiway. In fact a watched a video of a guy swapping the batteries between each. They fit perfectly although the voltage was different.
Why? Riding on sidewalks are legal where I live and abundantly safer. Plus, the road has plenty of sharps to cause a flat. I ride on sidewalks, same as everyone else in my area.
