Sad to say I just sold my Magnum Ui6. My vision has continued to degrade and I can no longer ride safely. Hated to do it, but it was for the best. Going back to my slow recumbent trike.

At $13,500 I would hope the Specialized is a good bike. The Aventon looks more my style, and a great value. also the range on the Specialized is up to 80 miles, but I guarantee with those drop bars on it MY range would be about 5 miles.

It is an emotorcycle. Nothing wrong with that but it is not a bicycle.

80 will be fine but, take it off the bike and store in inside the house. Cold/heat can hurt the 18650 cells in your batter.

I would assume you will see similar life from your new bike, just give it the same care as your old one. 11 years ago I was riding my Orbia road bike, wish I had discovered ebikes then.

About 43lbs with battery. Used to care, but don’t anymore.

Great video, good to get a peek behind the scenes. Got my Ui6 August 16th of last year. I have enjoyed 4000+ trouble free miles. Bought it from a LBS, and never had to use the warranty but was glad it was there. I think Magnum is the best bang for the buck in eBikes. There are better bikes, but...

I shift gears fairly often to keep Cadence up. Mashing the pedals is not really the best for the bike, or your legs.

Fun article, thanks for posting! A buddy and I would walk to a corner store about 6 blocks from home (raised in ST Louis) . We woul pick up enough soda bottles on the way (2 cents per bottle) to get candy. We were Kings!

Yes, you are unlucky. That would be unacceptable to me, unless it was a very low end bike. I would not buy that brand again for sure. In 4000+ mile I have replaced the brake pads twice (lots of stop and go riding), that’s it. Everything on the bike is original just as it came from the dealer. I...

Zero interest from me. I like the bike I have.

I simply cannot ride a road bike anymore because of the riding position. But, I could replace my eBike with a decent hybrid, and ride pretty much the way I ride now. I just don’t want to. :) The fun and safety factors keep my on my eBike.

4000 mile update All good. Going to replace the brake pads as soon as they arrive, and probably the rear tire in the next 1000 miles or so. Did a long ride a few weeks ago and still get 60+ miles on a charge (PAS 2/3). Still all original, and no issues. Still very happy with my purchase:)

Ui6, and very satisfied.

A big surprise to me was the real life range of my Magnum. Even after over a year and 4000 miles, I went 62 miles last Saturday and was on the last bar. When i bought the bike, I had hopes for 40 miles when new, and down there as time and miles past. I was happily wrong.

When I had road bikes I always got at least 5000 miles. I’m at around 4000 now on my eBike, and still perfect. I ride pavement only, never clean the chain, and lube with Blaster dry lube from Lowes. It is just a cheap lube, not marketed for bikes, but after 10 years Of excellent results I’m not...

I look like a dotk with, or without, a helmet. So it doesn’t bother me. The main reason I wear one is because I like my helmet mirror, secondary Reason is the potential safety benefit. Just like seat belts, airbags and safety shoes, in certain unusual circumstances a helmet could do more harm...

I disagree with your throttle opinion, but thought I’d share an opinion of my own. If you want to eBike/commute faster than 30mph, buy a small electric motorcycle.

As in most thing for me, I keep it simple. Bucket of plain water, soft rag.

$2000 Buy from a local bike store if at all possible. My Magnum Ui6 was $1700 out the door, a year and 3,600 miles later I’m still loving it and no issues. I ride very upright, ride on light traveled roads/streets and rarely a short distance on large shoulder of highway. For my safety I stay...
