Magicycle Deer vs Magicycle Ocelot Pro

Where each one wins

• Magicycle Deer is 5.0 kg lighter.

The Magicycle Ocelot Pro does not lead on a single measured axis here. That does not make it the wrong bike, but it does mean the Magicycle Deer is the one to justify not buying.

What each one costs to own

Over 5 years the Magicycle Ocelot Pro costs about 560 EUR less to own, once purchase, charging, servicing, a battery replacement where one is due, and resale are all counted.

That figure moves mostly on the battery. The Magicycle Deer covers about 55,467 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Magicycle Ocelot Pro, about 55,467 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.

• Pick the Magicycle Ocelot Pro if the five-year total is what you are optimising.

Verdict

On the measured axes the Magicycle Ocelot Pro is the better buy, and the Magicycle Deer needs a reason of its own: a colour, a frame, a shop you trust, a price that moves. None of those are in our numbers, and all of them are legitimate.
