Where each one wins
- SAMEBIKE MY275 is 5 km/h faster.
The SAMEBIKE LO26-II Spoke does not lead on a single measured axis here. That does not make it the wrong bike, but it does mean the SAMEBIKE MY275 is the one to justify not buying.
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 SAMEBIKE LO26-II Spoke covers about 26,613 km before its pack is due for replacement; the SAMEBIKE MY275, about 26,613 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.

Verdict
On the measured axes the SAMEBIKE MY275 is the better buy, and the SAMEBIKE LO26-II Spoke 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.
