Who each one is for
HAOQI Leopard Pro
Suits you if you want:
- 90 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 68 km estimated, which covers a 34 km each-way commute
What it asks in return:
- 39.9 kg, which is a bike you park rather than carry
- fast class, so it is registered and helmeted in most places
HAOQI Mustang
Suits you if you want:
- 130 Nm of torque, which is steep-hill territory
- fast class, which keeps up with city traffic
- rated to 136 kg of rider and luggage together
- about 42 km estimated, which covers a 21 km each-way commute
What it asks in return:

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 Leopard Pro costs about 840 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 Leopard Pro covers about 51,200 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 Leopard Pro | HAOQI Mustang |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | $1,199 | $2,399 |
| Charging | $68 | $68 |
| Servicing | $972 | $972 |
| Battery replacement | ||
| Resale value | $-293 | $-585 |
| Total | $1,946 | $2,853 |

Verdict
On the measured axes the HAOQI Leopard 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.
