Observations
  • A value priced step-through electric folding bike from Magnum that comes in two colors, is also feature rich with fenders, rear rack, included lights in the front and rear, front suspension fork, suspension seat post, competitively priced at just $1,599, and uses a reliable drivetrain and electrical system

  • Driven by a powerful Bafang rear hub-drive motor that is rated at a 500-700 watts, 90nm of torque, can be engaged either by the cadence sensor for cadence based pedal assist or trigger throttle, is capable of speeds up to 25mph, uses a high capacity 48v 13ah battery, and has a large easy to read display

  • Mechanically operated by a 7 speed Shimano Tourney derailleur with a grip shift, 14-28 tooth cassette in the rear, 52 tooth chain ring in the front, and 165mm crank arms, 160mm mechanical disc brakes in the front and rear each with motor inhibitors

  • Some tradeoffs for the lower price-point like mechanical disc brakes, slower battery charger, basic suspension fork, no clasp or magnet system to keep it folded up, also the keys have to stay in when riding the bike and the cables could stretch when turning if you have the stem telescoped all the way to the highest adjustment
