Step-Thru folding e-bikes have seen a huge increase in sales these last few years for the simple reason that they are easier to ride.
Last year we did a post listing some of the more popular step-through folding electric bikes for 2022. While those e-bikes should still be considered in your overall search we thought we would add one more – the Magicycle Jaguarundi Step-Thru folding fat tire e-bike.
Magicycle Jaguarundi Step-Thru: Features Overview
While Magicycle may be another overseas e-bike brand they are standing behind their e-bikes with a 2-year warranty, 15-day return option, and 24-hour customer service. Do make sure that this is the folding e-bike for you as there are conditions for returns.
So the question is what makes this one different? In short, it is not drastically different from the Vtuvia SF20 or the Heybike Ranger. They utilize the same frame and components just with their own brand name.
All these step-thru folding bikes are worth purchasing if this is the style you are considering. Keep in mind when you enter the 4-inch fat tire market you need to be aware of the overall weight of these electric vehicles. While you can remove the battery (approximately 7 lbs) these e-bikes usually weigh around 65 pounds (70+ lbs with battery).
To many buyers’ surprise, a 70-plus pound e-bike can be hard to lift even if it folds.
The Magicycle Jaguarundi Step Thru (like the others) is designed to really hit the trails with those 4-inch fat tires, provide a stable ride, easy to get on and off, and can be unlocked to 28 m.p.h.
The Magicycle Jaguarundi Step Thru is also equipped with hydraulic brakes, a 52V 15aH removable battery, a half-twist throttle, and cruise control. If we were to make one improvement it would be upgrading to a 52T or 56T front sprocket.
Magicycle Jaguarundi Step-Thru: Conclusion
Yes, there are step-thru folding e-bikes similar to the Magicycle Jaguarundi. The most important point is no matter which step-thru folding e-bike you choose they are only as good as you get outside and enjoy them.
