    A great-looking e-bike. Russ, salads are great, but watch the add-ons! Because I lack strength (because of age and health issues), the weight of the e-bike is a problem. My e-bike is 60 pounds, and that's my limit. I have a ramp to load the e-bike, which is fine. Temperatures in Northern Virginia are in the 60s and 70s, and yesterday in the 80s. The date is 4/22/23.

    Gorgeous bike Russ. With a second battery to extend your range, I think this Magicycle Deer will be your go to #1 bike. You'll go 70 miles on one trip, and with full suspension and a bikearoo saddle, will be a very comfortable ride. A front basket and the 2nd battery on rear rack you'll be set for long excursions. I think MC has an upgraded battery bag too. Ride on Russ🚲

    Hi Russ, enjoy your reviews but you didn't talk much about the rear suspension. Is it just a steel spring or a small hydraulic shock or piston? Is it adjustable or replaceable and will it last the lifetime of the bike? What if there is a large weight difference between riders? Is the bike rideable if it breaks? Maybe Magicycle can inform us through you. Thanks so much!

    • @RussIsRight
      @RussIsRight  Год назад +2

      It is not adjustable and is just a spring. No idea how long it will last since it's essentially brand new. If you are heavy like me, you'll notice the smoother ride, but I can't say how it will be for a lightweight rider (since I am not one... ha!)

    • @RussIsRight

      I prefer the responsiveness of the Deer 26 but the suspension of the D7. The Deer has a quicker response time when you push the throttle or the pedals. The motor reacts immediately. It also has cruise control which comes in handy. The D7 has a slight delay before it responds. And it doesn't have cruise control. But the suspension of the D7 with its air suspension in the rear and inverted front fork suspension is better. No bike seems to have everything.

Why bikes manufactured in 2 different factories differ in features is beyond me, but there was no mention of the differences. When I received the D7, it had the King Cobra display, different forks, the plastic fork protectors weren't installed and no manual. After a week of dealing with customer service, I returned the D7 and currently awaiting a refund. I may try the Deer since Himiway left a bad impression.
