What each one costs to own

Over 5 years the Magicycle Jaguarundi costs about 280 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 Jaguarundi covers about 38,400 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.

Verdict

Range here is an estimate under one reference ride, not a measurement. Yours will differ with terrain, weight, tyres and weather, which is what the range calculator is for.
