Magicycle CT-1
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!
Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Magicycle CT-1. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
8 reasons to buy
- Testers enjoy the smooth ride and comfortable upright position.
- The CT-1 has an adjustable stem for quickly modifying fit.
- Users can switch between torque and candence sensors via the display.
- The CT-1 comes with a 55lb-rated rear rack, lights with brake activation, and fenders.
- The claimed weight of 54lb is low for a commuter e-bike at this price point.
- Buyers can choose from an above-average five colors.
- The Logan hydraulic disc brakes work well in testing.
- The claimed 400lb payload capacity is high for commuter e-bikes.
4 reasons not to buy
- A reviewer says the CT-1 struggles on steep inclines compared to other 750W e-bikes.
- With only 6.5” of seatpost adjustment and a minimum saddle height of 31.69”, riders at either end of the 5’5” to 6’8” height range are unlikely to fit.
- One owner’s battery fails after seven weeks, and the replacement fails shortly after.
- Magicycle doesn’t provide an online owner’s manual for the CT-1, and the specifications are incomplete.
Bottom line
The two reviewers of Magicycle’s CT-1 fail to provide a clear picture of the bike's performance, and the lack of an owner’s manual or clear specifications online doesn’t help. Based on the limited testing, the smooth ride, upright riding position, accessible frame, and practical accessories make the CT-1 well suited to comfort-conscious commuters. Braking power is good, but the climbing performance is underwhelming for a 750W e-bike, and range isn’t tested. On paper, the Magicycle CT-1 is a well-rounded commuter e-bike at a decent price, but a dearth of clear information makes it a slightly riskier buy.Expert Reviews
