The Aluminum Bike Frame
The Frame of Magicycle Commuter
Quality Control is job one at Magicycle. All resources are focused on delivering a strong, powerful, and reliable ebike to every Magicycle customer. The bike frame is the foundation of that effort, making sure that each Magicycle begins with the perfect combination for frame strength, durability, longevity, and beauty...aluminum.

When designing the frame, every pound counts, and aluminum is lighter than steel. By nature, aluminum is a less dense metal as compared to steel.

Economy
The truth is, it simply costs less to manufacture bike frames when using aluminum. Aluminum frames are easier to mass produce, and yet they provide excellent strength and light weight. Magicycle is dedicated to ensuring that customers have access to electric bikes with the very best "bang for the buck," so it just makes good sense to use aluminum. The combination of low cost and excellent strength is unbeatable.

Aesthetics
Yes, we ebike enthusiasts dwell a lot on power, speed, and range, but we also want our rides to be eye-catching. Aluminum has molding capabilities far beyond that of steel, and that is very important. Aluminum frames can be designed and molded in flowing, aerodynamic shapes that are eye-candy for ebike riders...not to mention, the aerodynamics add to the speed capabilities of any bike.

And the beauty of design goes beyond simple good looks. It also includes strength and safety. Magicycle uses state-of-the-art technology, including robotic welding, to construct a meticulously designed frame that is both strong and beautiful. Every frame is subjected to Vibration Fatigue Testing of more than 100,000 repetitions. Magicycle goes beyond industry-standard testing to ensure the long life, high quality and safety of the frame.

Longevity
Magicycle Inc. is one of the very few ebike brands that manufacture their own frames in their own factory. That's right, Magicycle actually owns the factory. This means the company has absolute control over that quality of every frame, and you can rest assured that a Magicycle e-bike is a wise investment.

The Magicycle frame is formed in the Magicycle factory from 6061 aluminum alloy. This popular bike alloy provides exceptional strength, light weight, durability, and a defect-free highly pleasing appearance. It also provides corrosion resistance. Your Magicycle frame will never rust, no matter how long you leave it out in the weather. However, it is possible that aluminum will corrode, especially if you get deep scratches or chips. Even so, aluminum corrosion is never a problem. It actually strengthens the metal and even protects it from deeper corrosion...strange, but true.

All this is made possible by employing technology borrowed from the aviation industry. This includes hydroforming and cataphracted weld joints…regarded as the best welding technique in the world.. This means that Magicycle customers receive a high-tech frame that is strong, safe, and beautiful for unequaled riding stability and comfort on a very long-lasting frame.

Many ebike manufacturers base the frame sizing on seat tube length. That’s unfortunate, because seat tube length is not a key criteria. Far more important are body-hand distance adjustment and seat low-arc sag design so that riders have enough standover distance for their leg inseam length.

The Magicycle designers take these key ergonomics as the primary criteria. This frame geometry and quality materials make our riding triangle the foundation of “the most comfortable ride ever.” Magicycle owners tend to rave about the high quality of their ebike and the ability to take long rides comfortably without tiring.
