Where each one wins

• VIVI M026SH is 5 km further on range.

The VIVI F26FUL leads on 1 of these, the VIVI M026SH on 1. Neither sweeps it, so the choice comes down to which of those you actually use.

What each one costs to own

Over 5 years the VIVI M026SH costs about 126 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 F26FUL covers about 19,947 km before its pack is due for replacement; the VIVI M026SH, about 19,947 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.

Which one to buy

Verdict

On the measured axes the VIVI M026SH is the better buy, and the VIVI F26FUL 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.
