What each one costs to own
Over 5 years the Engwe EP 2 Pro costs about 616 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 Engwe EP 2 Pro covers about 33,280 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Engwe PRO 2, about 40,960 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.

Which one to buy

Verdict
On the measured axes the Engwe EP 2 Pro is the better buy, and the Engwe PRO 2 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.
