Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Magicycle Deer 2.0. In summary, this is what cyclists think. Published Jan 05, 2026 by Jordan Grimes.

8 reasons to buy

  • The Magicycle Deer 2.0 is available with 20” or 26” wheels, each with a different rider height range.
  • Like Magicycle's other 2.0 models, the Deer 2.0 has both torque and cadence sensors, easily toggled with the bar-mounted button.
  • A tester praises the responsiveness of the pedal assist in cadence-sensing mode.
  • An expert relishes the Deer 2.0’s power, easily cruising at 30mph over flat pavement.
  • This bike is available in an above-average five colorways.
  • The pedal assist modes and top speed can be customized via the display.
  • The Deer 2.0 has lights with brake activation, a rack with bungee cords, and fenders.
  • The Bengal hydraulic disc brakes provide ample stopping power in testing.

6 reasons not to buy

  • One tester finds the acceleration overly aggressive in the stock PAS settings.
  • The 1,000W motor and ability to exceed 28mph don't comply with e-bike laws.
  • The Deer 2.0 gets an extra gear and a larger chainring but has the same narrow 13-28t cassette as the original Deer.
  • This is a very heavy electric bike in both the 20” and 26” configurations.
  • The 20” Deer 2.0’s 31.9” minimum seat height is likely to be too high for riders at the low end of the 4’10” to 6’2” height range.
  • Magicycle customer support has a poor reputation among buyers, who complain of lengthy or unfulfilled warranty claims.

Bottom line

With the Deer 2.0, Magicycle has made a few minor changes to its highly regarded original Deer, including more gears, switchable torque and cadence sensors, higher nominal motor power, and a thumb throttle to accommodate the trigger shifter. The comfortable full-suspension platform and 4” Kenda Krusade tires are suited to pavement and light off-road trails. Inexperienced riders may find the strong acceleration overwhelming, but thankfully, this is customizable. With a price that’s higher than many competing e-bikes, the exaggerated height range and poor customer support are disappointing, as this appears to be a solid, well-equipped fat-tire e-bike.

Magicycle Deer 20 – 2.0 Version! – Review

[The] overall performance seems very similar to the [previous version], but you do add the ability to jump from torque sensor to cadence sensor. These are features that are beneficial to some people, but not to everybody…
