Who each one is for
Rattan LF 750W PRO

- 85 Nm of torque, which is steep-hill territory
- folds, so it fits a boot, a train or a hallway
- has a throttle, so it moves without pedalling
- fast class, which keeps up with city traffic
- rated to 136 kg of rider and luggage together
- about 45 km estimated, which covers a 22 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 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 Rattan LF 750W PRO covers about 33,280 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Rattan LM 750 PRO, about 33,280 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.
| Over five years | Rattan LF 750W PRO | Rattan LM 750 PRO |

| Purchase price | $1,399 | $1,499 |
| Charging | $68 | $68 |
| Servicing | $972 | $972 |
| Battery replacement | ||
| Resale value | $-341 | $-366 |
