Our verdict on each
CANYON
CANYON suits commuters who want a belt drive option and a brand that sells direct rather than through dealers alone, with plenty of models inside the range. The 6 year frame warranty is the number buyers remember, and finance is available to spread the entry cost.
Magicycle Business
Magicycle Business suits riders who want fat tyres, a cargo bike or a folding frame from one maker and are happy buying direct. Bikes start at $1,049 and top out at $1,849, with finance available so the entry model can be spread over instalments.

Pros and cons
CANYON
Pros
- Entry bikes start at $1,299, with named models such as Precede:ON Comfort 5, Strive:ON CFR, Endurace:ONfly CF 6 sitting above that price.
- Frame cover of 6 years alongside a 30 day return window.
- Sold direct rather than dealer only, and listed in the United States, DE and GB markets.
Cons
- The spread from $1,299 on the entry bike to $10,999 on the top model puts the upper price out of reach for plenty of riders.
- Battery cover of 2 years sits well below the 6 year frame cover, so a pack problem arrives earlier in the bike's life.
- Assist is limited to EU 25, so riders wanting more power or a faster cut-off should look elsewhere.
Magicycle Business
Pros
- Brakes are hydraulic disc, the spec most riders expect on wet city roads.
- Nominal power of 750 to 1,000 W sits above the site median of 500 W, so hills and loaded rides are less of a struggle.
- The line covers commuter, city and step through, so one maker supplies a folding bike, a fat-tire bike and a cargo bike.
Cons
- Support runs on email and help centre only, so there is no phone line for a fault or a puncture far from home.
- Buying is direct, so there is no shop where you can sit on the bike before committing.
- Sales reach US and CA, which rules the brand out for anyone living elsewhere.
Who each suits
CANYON
Who it suits
- Commuters who want a mid-drive motor and a belt drive option in a bike that can be charged at work.
- Riders with a long-term plan, since the frame warranty runs 6 years and finance is available.
- Anyone after trail-capable electric bikes, since city, hybrid and emtb includes emtb models alongside city, hybrid and road.
Who should look elsewhere
- Tern, which lists cargo, commuter and folding for anyone after a cargo, commuter or folding frame rather than a city or road bike.
- KALKHOFF, whose city, hybrid and step through add a step-through shape that is not part of CANYON's city, hybrid and emtb.
- HK BEIRUI TRADE CO., whose commuter, folding and fat tire cover fat-tire and folding bikes for riders on looser ground.
Magicycle Business
Who it suits
- Riders in the US and Canada who want fat-tire or cargo power and will handle their own servicing.
- Commuters who need a removable battery so the pack charges indoors between rides.
- Buyers who want several body styles from one maker without moving up to a premium city badge.
Who should look elsewhere
- Kalkhoff, if you want a hybrid or electric mountain bike, since city, hybrid and step through covers frames this range does not list.
- Tern, if a folding frame is the priority, as cargo, commuter and folding is built around cargo, commuter and folding bikes.
- HK Beirui Trade Co., if you want the same fat-tire and commuter ground from a maker that also lists an electric mountain bike, per commuter, folding and fat tire.

Questions about each
CANYON
What does a CANYON e-bike cost at the entry point?+
CANYON's entry bike is listed at $1,299 and its top model at $10,999. Because the range is that wide, the entry figure is not a guide to what the brand charges for a mid spec machine. Compare the specific model against rivals rather than setting the cheapest number beside a competitor's whole catalogue.
Can I pay for a CANYON bike in instalments?+
Finance is offered on the range, so a purchase can be split into payments instead of paid in full up front. CANYON sells direct, which means terms come from the brand rather than a dealer negotiation. Availability depends on the market you order in, and CANYON lists US, DE and GB.
Magicycle Business

Prices run from $1,049 for the cheapest model up to $1,849 at the top of the range. The listed bikes are Ocelot Pro, Deer 2.0, Cruiser Pro, CT-1 Commuter. On starting price the brand sits at 72 of 149 brands compared, and at 47 of 145 on the top price.
Which kinds of bike does Magicycle Business make?+
The range covers commuter, city and step through, so fat-tire, cargo, folding, step-through, city and commuter bodies all sit under one maker. The folding frame suits riders who combine cycling with a train seat or a small flat, while the cargo bike takes a payload of 227 kg.
