Mukkpet Stepwagon vs Mukkpet Suburban
The Mukkpet Stepwagon and the Mukkpet Suburban are close enough that no single figure decides it. The table below shows every axis, and the differences that are inside the margin are marked as ties rather than dressed up as wins.
Range is our estimate under the reference ride, not the manufacturer's claim. Cost is over 5 years at 3,000 km a year, on the same formula the cost-of-ownership calculator runs. How we work this out

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 Mukkpet Suburban costs about 406 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 Mukkpet Stepwagon covers about 38,400 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Mukkpet Suburban, about 38,400 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.

Verdict
On the measured axes the Mukkpet Suburban is the better buy, and the Mukkpet Stepwagon 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.
