https://electricbikereview.com/magnum/classic-48/ The Magnum Classic 48 is 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.

Great review thanks!!
$2100 in Canada!
Just starting to look at electric bikes, really like the ability to fold it up and put in back seat or back of suv. 59 lbs seems light to me.
Is this a newer version of the previous review you did in 2017? I notice this one has spokes while the other one had aluminum
I can't decide whether to get the RadMini Step Thru or this Magnum Classic 48 Low Step? Both are priced similarly as of right now, but the Magnum includes more features for its base price. Can anyone give me some advice or what you'd personally pick as your e-bike?
Does the key just lock the battery in or does it also open and close an electrical circuit.
I was 135lb in 9th grade
Something in-between Blix Vika+ and RAD Step-through.
I just got the new premium. Itβs amazing. Fast. Stable. Rode about 11 miles today
Utah looks lovelyβ£ that oversized chain guide is visually appealing as an element, too.
Maybe itβs because Iβm old, but step through always said female bike to me
Good power, good price.
Ooo, you're so lucky ππβοΈ
It looks you were at Liberty Park in Salt Lake City.
Where to buy this suspension seat post?
Thanks. Bro
I'm so glad you are not wearing the Devo helmet like your co-host
An adjustable front light on the handlebar is more likely to be accidentally pointed upwards and blind other people on bikes or motorists, so I would say the position is a feature.
