Well as far as I know the magician has the best units of fun pr dollar ratio and they have a lower seat height for us short doods, I'm 5'4" and I can only tiptoe my brothers hawk. Also a magician is what I own so I'm a little biased. It has tires that are not really meant for true off roading. They are down right suicidal in mud and snow but do great as long as you keep them out of anything that goes squish or splash. If you are going to be true off-roading I'd say the hawk. I daily commute most of the year on a magician and love it. Also same engine as the hawk so tons of info and support here. I mean come on, just look at that....
