Who each one is for
HAOQI Cheetah Pro
Suits you if you want:
- 160 Nm of torque, which is steep-hill territory
- fast class, which keeps up with city traffic
- rated to 181 kg of rider and luggage together
- about 61 km estimated, which covers a 30 km each-way commute
What it asks in return:
- fast class, so it is registered and helmeted in most places

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 HAOQI Cheetah Pro costs about 350 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 HAOQI Cheetah Pro covers about 56,320 km before its pack is due for replacement; the HAOQI Mustang, about 38,400 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.
| Over five years | HAOQI Cheetah Pro | HAOQI Mustang |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | $1,899 | $2,399 |
| Charging | $68 | $68 |
| Servicing | $972 | $972 |
| Battery replacement | ||
| Resale value | $-463 | $-585 |
| Total | $2,475 | $2,853 |

Verdict
On the measured axes the HAOQI Cheetah Pro is the better buy, and the HAOQI Mustang 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.
