Magicycle CT-1 Commuter
The Commuter That Reads Your Legs.
"Stop Dreading Your Commute. Start Owning It."
Your commute is draining you. Bumper to bumper traffic, packed subway cars, and parking fees that eat your paycheck before you even clock in. The Magicycle CT-1 is the electric commuter bike built to replace all of it. A torque sensor ebike system reads your pedaling effort in real time and delivers smooth, proportional power that feels like your legs got an upgrade, not a replacement.
This isn't another throttle and forget electric bike that turns you into a passenger. The CT-1's switchable dual sensor system lets you toggle between torque sensing for a natural, athletic pedal assist electric bike experience and cadence sensing for a more relaxed cruise. Built on a lightweight 6061 aluminum step through electric bike frame with a 750W electric bike motor that peaks at 1,100W, this commuter ebike hits 28 MPH and covers up to 60 miles on a single charge.
"We designed the CT-1 for the rider who wants to arrive at work without sweat stains but still feel like they actually rode a bike. The torque sensor is the secret. It makes the motor invisible. You just feel stronger."
THIS RIDE IS FOR YOU IF...
- Your car commute costs you $300+ a month in gas, insurance, and parking. You want an electric bike for commuting that actually saves you real money.
- You've tried other ebikes but every one feels like a moped, not a bicycle. You want a pedal assist electric bike that matches your effort, not overrides it.
- You live in a walk up apartment or condo and need a step through electric bike that's easy to mount with a removable battery you can charge at your desk.
- You want a reliable commuter ebike for adults that handles rain, potholes, and year round riding without flimsy components failing when you need them most.
BUILT FOR THE REAL WORLD
Every Component Earns Its Place
Most electric commuter bikes ship with the bare minimum and leave you buying accessories for months. The CT-1 arrives fully loaded with metal fenders, a 55 lb capacity rear rack with integrated tail light, front LED headlight, and a backlit LCD display with USB charging port. Everything a daily rider needs from the best electric bike for commuting in its class.
The step through electric bike frame isn't just about easy mounting. It's 6061 aluminum alloy, the same aerospace grade material used in performance cycling. Light enough to maneuver through city traffic at 54 lbs total, strong enough to carry riders up to 400 lbs. Five colorways from understated Space Gray to head turning Tiffany Blue mean your ebike for city riding doesn't have to look like everyone else's.
DUAL SENSOR INTELLIGENCE
Torque + Cadence. You Choose.
Here's what separates this torque sensor ebike from every other electric bike in its class. Most ebikes use a basic cadence sensor that delivers the same power whether you're barely spinning or hammering uphill. The CT-1's torque sensor measures exactly how hard you're pushing and matches the motor output to your effort. Push harder, get more power. Ease up, the motor backs off. It feels like riding a normal bike, except you're covering twice the distance.
But sometimes you just want to cruise. One press of the "i" button switches to cadence mode for a more relaxed, consistent assist on flat stretches and leisure rides. Seven pedal assist levels let you fine tune the balance between exercise and effortless riding. Plus a thumb throttle gives you instant power when you need to jump off the line at a green light or merge into traffic. This is the electric bike with throttle and pedal assist that adapts to how you actually ride.
KEY FEATURES
750W Hub Motor (1,100W Peak)
Brushless gear hub motor delivers smooth, quiet power up to 28 MPH. Peaks at 1,100W for hill climbing and acceleration when you need it most.
48V 15Ah Removable Battery
Removable from the top of the downtube for easy charging at home or the office. Up to 60 miles range on a single charge. 5 to 7 hour full charge.
180mm Hydraulic Disc Brakes
2 piston hydraulic disc brakes front and rear with 180mm rotors. Consistent, powerful stopping in wet or dry conditions. No cable stretching, no pad adjustments.
Switchable Torque + Cadence Sensor
Press the "i" button for 2 seconds to switch between torque sensing (natural, effort based) and cadence sensing (consistent, relaxed). Two ride modes in one bike.
Shimano 7 Speed Drivetrain
Shimano intelligent 7 speed gearing gives you a wide gear range for flat cruising and steep climbs. Reliable shifting in any weather, minimal maintenance.
Mechanical Suspension Fork
Front suspension fork absorbs bumps, cracks, and potholes so your hands and wrists don't have to. Essential for daily commuting on real city streets.
WHY THIS BUILD MATTERS
The CT-1 is engineered for riders who commute every day, not just sunny weekends. Here's the technical breakdown of why this torque sensor ebike outperforms every other electric commuter bike in its price range.
Torque Sensor Efficiency
Cadence sensors waste battery by delivering full power even when you're barely pedaling. The CT-1's torque sensor proportionally matches motor output to your effort, extending real world range by 20 to 30% compared to cadence only systems. That's the difference between making it home and walking.
400 lb Payload Capacity
Most commuter ebikes max out at 250 to 300 lbs. The CT-1 supports 400 lbs total payload, including rider, gear, and cargo on the 55 lb rear rack. Built for real people carrying real stuff, not just lightweight test riders on a smooth track.
6061 Aluminum + Step Through
The 6061 aluminum alloy frame keeps the bike at 54 lbs while handling heavy loads. The step through geometry eliminates the awkward leg swing that makes high frame bikes dangerous in traffic. Mount and dismount in a second, even at a stoplight.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a torque sensor ebike better than a cadence sensor ebike?
A torque sensor measures how hard you're pedaling and adjusts motor power proportionally. Push harder, get more assist. A cadence sensor delivers the same power regardless of effort as long as you're pedaling. The CT-1 is the rare electric commuter bike that includes both sensors so you can switch between natural, effort based assist and relaxed, consistent assist with a 2 second button press.
How far can this electric commuter bike go on a single charge?
Up to 60 miles depending on pedal assist level, terrain, rider weight, and wind conditions. Using torque sensor mode extends range significantly compared to cadence mode because the motor only activates proportional to your actual effort. Real world commuters typically see 30 to 45 miles per charge.
Is the CT-1 a good electric bike for commuting to work?
The CT-1 was designed specifically for daily commuting. It arrives fully loaded with fenders, rear rack, lights, and a backlit display. The torque sensor provides natural pedal assist so you arrive without breaking a sweat, and the 48V 15Ah battery covers most round trip commutes on a single charge.
Can I charge the battery at my office or apartment?
Yes. The battery removes from the top of the downtube and weighs about 7 lbs. Bring it inside and charge at your desk, apartment, or anywhere with a standard outlet. You can also charge it while still on the bike. Full charge takes 5 to 7 hours.
Is this step through electric bike good for taller riders?
Yes. The CT-1 fits riders from 5'5" to 6'8" thanks to the adjustable stem and seatpost. The step through frame design makes mounting and dismounting easy at any height, especially useful when stopping in traffic.
Does this pedal assist electric bike also have a throttle?
Yes. A thumb throttle provides instant power without pedaling up to 20 MPH. Perfect for starting from a dead stop, merging into traffic, or taking a break on long rides. With pedal assist engaged, the 750W motor takes you up to 28 MPH.
Is this electric bike compatible with other Magicycle accessories?
Yes. The CT-1 uses standard mounting points compatible with all Magicycle accessories and universal ebike accessories including baskets, phone mounts, mirrors, and locks.
