That figure moves mostly on the battery. The VIVI F26FUL covers about 19,947 km before its pack is due for replacement; the VIVI MT26GUL, about 26,613 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.

Which one to buy

Verdict

On the measured axes the VIVI MT26GUL 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.
