Where each one wins

The Bezior X1500 does not lead on a single measured axis here. That does not make it the wrong bike, but it does mean the Bezior XF001 is the one to justify not buying.

Suits you if you want:

Bezior XF001
Suits you if you want:
- rated to 200 kg of rider and luggage together
- about 35 km estimated, which covers a 17 km each-way commute

- 40 Nm of torque, so long climbs will ask for your legs
Each line above is read straight from the specification: torque, weight, payload, battery and our range estimate. Nothing here is a preference, and neither bike is being recommended over the other.
What each one costs to own
Over 5 years the two land within 5% of each other, which is inside the error on any of these inputs. Cost is not the deciding factor here.
That figure moves mostly on the battery. The Bezior X1500 covers about 32,747 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Bezior XF001, about 32,000 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.
| Over five years | Bezior X1500 | Bezior XF001 |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | $1,980 | $1,980 |
| Charging | $68 | $68 |
| Servicing | $648 | $648 |
| Battery replacement | ||
| Resale value | $-483 | $-483 |
| Total | $2,213 | $2,213 |

Which one to buy
- Pick the Bezior XF001 if you carry the bike up steps, onto a train, or into a flat.
Verdict
On the measured axes the Bezior XF001 is the better buy, and the Bezior X1500 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.
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.
