The frame is solid, the welding is well done the puddles look very good with no spatering. The motor is quite and responsive. Once you adjust the suspension to your liking it is awesome. The only negative is the wobble when you remove your hands from the bar. I already new about that way more pros than cons.
The bike is as advertised! Great ride! Tons of torque and very quiet. The only thing I would tell magician to do different is to put your kick stands on before you ship it out. The cable that is by the back nut is extremely hard to put on for most people. You would be doing everyone a big favor last comment. I’m glad you changed the tire tread pattern. It’s as quiet as the mini.
I love the bike great off the line. Quiet motor. I wish it had regenerative breaking only for the reason the breaks are so loud. I’ve had an Lectric, two Juice bikes, Ariel rider grizzly, Walkey, this is better then them all.
Overall, the Alpha Mini by Magician Bicycle is a powerful and premium built e-bike. At this price point ($2400 + tax and shipping) my expectations were fairly high, and in most areas, they were met. However, in a few areas i feel the company needs to improve. The bike lacks both turn signals and a warning device - either a horn or at the very least, a bell. These components are standard equipment on nearly all e-bike brands sold today - especially bikes priced over $999. These are vital safety features and their absence on a bike of this caliber is a puzzling disappointment. I shouldn’t have to go out and buy aftermarket items like this that would have cost so little to include and are must-haves with so many e-bikes on the road today. Non-essentials such as phone holders, locks, and baskets are often given as “gifts” by other brands but these weren’t included either...
The instruction manual was one of the most poorly designed i have ever seen. Customers come in different levels of mechanical aptitude, making assembly manuals very important for some, including myself. But this booklet was missing entire parts of the bike that required user assembly, forcing me to go online and seek assistance from other customers. That is unacceptable.
Finally, the bike itself came delivered with a small amount of packing material in the shipping box - much less than I expected. The box had lots of empty spaces which should have been filled in but weren’t. Fortunately, my bike only suffered a few minor scratches but it could have been worse. Bikes are subject to a lot of movement from its long journey from China and keeping the bike as immobile as possible is crucial in reducing damage in transit. An extra dollars worth of packing material would be helpful and frankly I was surprised to see as little as I did. I mentioned my concerns to Magician Bicycle and they were prompt and helpful each time I emailed them, which is a positive. But prevention is worth a pound of cure. I would hope the company seriously consider my criticisms if they hope to have me as a repeat customer.
Overall, my Alpha Mini has much going for it. But it is at the high price point of 90% of e-bikes sold online today and it was disappointing to see this company ignore some important yet inexpensive safety features and other touches I had expected on a premium item such as this. Not deal breakers, but clearly disappointments.
It's an excellent bike for it's price range. Very sturdy.
Great components too. It's a little big for me but I love it. So many compliments.
A bit disappointed. Came in a package that was obviously opened and the plastic bracket that houses the cable release was cracked in half. Looks like somebody had returned it and simply repacked and shipped. No paperwork and just a bunch of loose parts. Hoping I can get a replacement bracket I'm fine with the rest of the seat post.
I have about 100 miles on the Alpha Mini now. I am very happy with it! Bike is made very well.This bike is super quiet,smooth,fast,handles good and can climb any hill with ease. You can very easily get 30+ miles on a full charge. Customer support has been good. Take your time setting up the bike and adjusting everything.Make sure every nut and bolt is tight!

After everything was done and bike ready to ride. A+
This bike can't be beat for the price. Its super quiet motor will get you over the toughest hills without heating up. It is a blast to ride for sure and has a nice look to it. The 'mini' size definitely accommodates most adults and the lower COG gives great stability on the road. I researched ebikes for months and kept coming back to Magician. I'm not looking for speed, just the power when I need it and it delivers! P.S. Remember to be responsible:)
I love everything about it. It's definitely high end for me. It arrived in perfect condition. Love the ride and torque it produces. The only thing I would change is an option for street tires instead of knobbi tread. I hope your company is a continued success, and replacement parts will always be available.
I like it so much I think I'll buy another one, but in Orange.
This is our 6th, my wife and I, ebike and this Magician Atlas is by far the best for both trail riding and riding near the beaches. Every aspect of this bike is upgraded over our older bikes, Sram drivetrain, 4 piston Hydralic brakes with 203 MM rotors, thru axel wheels, available 29" wheelset. I did do a few upgrades as expected new seat and added a dropper post. This bike is heavy for some people but I use it all the time riding trails thru Rancho Penasquitos Canyon and riding all the way to North Torrey Pines Beach. the 52V 20 amp hr. battery offers a ton of power and all the range I want to be riding, doing a 40 mile ride using the throttle on top of tour power setting is not a problem, and I am a 61 yr. old 6'3" 300 lb. broken up ex college athlete and this bike makes me feel like I'm 15 yrs old again. We have had ebikes since April of 2020 and I target 2500 miles a yr., on Strava, ridden in San Diego and Las Vegas, and this bike has lived up to, and exceeded, its claims. I was worried about purchasing this bike because some of the fraud claims on youtube, but being able to purchase and drive to ontario and pick up the bike the next day, calmed my nerves, I've found they are a very real company with a lot of Inventory in Southern California, I plan on buying another smaller Magician Atlas 17" in the next few months for our guests and to upgrade my wifes Biktrix juggernaut. Thank you Magician for being patient and answering all my questions.
Love the bike its fast and stable at high speed the only issue i have is the BaFang system the motor is Great but BaFang can do better with its system and App.
Personally i like the simple system my old ebike had with PAS when ever i need to slow down i just quickly press down button with my thumb to PAS 1 and thats it i can only go up to 15mph when i'm on the side walk for some reason with this BaFang system i cant do that its locked out.
This is my second ebike this year and after using this, I sold my other immediately. Super-fast and such a great riding experience. I am an ex-motocross rider.
Smokin' torque. I live in the Appalachian mountains and it accelerates up the roads here! Best ebike I have had if you have hilly terrane. Works great on roads, trails, dirt etc.!
I ordered this battery as a extra battery for my Magician Alpha Mini. Arrived to my house in a timely manner.
3.5 because front tire seems to be unbalanced. At speeds of 25-35 you can hear the brake rotors rubbing on the brake pads and u can notice a little bit of shake. Also 2nd week of riding and the tires popped. Tire has pour puncture resistant. besides that great and fast bike but super heavy.
