Bike Size Charts

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!

Bottom line

The Magnum Metro is a commuter e-bike equipped with a rack, fenders, and lights for urban riding. It is available in three step-through builds, the Metro 750 (960Wh), Metro X (720Wh), and Metro S (624Wh). Experts enjoy the smooth, comfortable ride quality delivered by the 2.4" tires, suspension fork, suspension seatpost, and upright position. The Metro also wins praise for its power and range. However, beginners should beware of the overwhelming acceleration. Reviewers note that the Magnum Metro is pricier than some competition. But overall, users report being happy with the value it offers.

Magnum Metro 750 Review – 2023

Often a statement we avoid, but it was just a seriously solid all-around bike. No glaring deficiencies, meaning it’s a highly capable commuter and light-duty explorer.
