Who each one is for
VIVI F26FUL
Suits you if you want:
- rated to 150 kg of rider and luggage together
What it asks in return:
- 40 Nm of torque, so long climbs will ask for your legs
- about 22 km estimated, so it wants a charge most days
- 374 Wh, a small pack to keep an eye on in winter

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 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.
| Over five years | VIVI F26FUL | VIVI M026SH |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | $700 | $519 |
| Charging | $68 | $68 |
| Servicing | $648 | $648 |
| Battery replacement | ||
| Resale value | $-171 | $-126 |
| Total | $1,245 | $1,109 |
Run these numbers on your own mileage
Which one to buy
- Pick the VIVI M026SH if you ride to the edge of the battery and dislike planning around it.
- Pick the VIVI F26FUL if your commute has fast stretches where the assist cutting out matters.
- Pick the VIVI M026SH if the five-year total is what you are optimising.
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.
