Who each one is for
VIVI ACE01
Suits you if you want:
- 90 Nm of torque, which is steep-hill territory
- rated to 150 kg of rider and luggage together
- about 42 km estimated, which covers a 21 km each-way commute
VIVI F26FUL
Suits you if you want:
- 75 Nm of torque, enough for rolling ground
- rated to 150 kg of rider and luggage together
- about 50 km estimated, which covers a 25 km each-way commute
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 VIVI F26FUL costs about 210 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 VIVI ACE01 covers about 38,400 km before its pack is due for replacement; the VIVI F26FUL, about 46,080 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.
| Over five years | VIVI ACE01 | VIVI F26FUL |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | $1,000 | $700 |
| Charging | $68 | $68 |
| Servicing | $972 | $972 |
| Battery replacement | ||
| Resale value | $-244 | $-171 |
| Total | $1,796 | $1,569 |

Which one to buy
- Pick the VIVI F26FUL if you ride to the edge of the battery and dislike planning around it.
- Pick the VIVI F26FUL if you would rather charge less often than carry less weight.
- Pick the VIVI ACE01 if you carry the bike up steps, onto a train, or into a flat.
- Pick the VIVI ACE01 if your route has real hills, or you carry cargo or a passenger.
- Pick the VIVI F26FUL if the five-year total is what you are optimising.
Verdict
On the measured axes the VIVI F26FUL is the better buy, and the VIVI ACE01 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.
