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 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 VIVI Gopina covers about 19,968 km before its pack is due for replacement; the VIVI M026TGB, about 19,947 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.
| Over five years | VIVI Gopina | VIVI M026TGB |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | $510 | $500 |
| Charging | $68 | $68 |
| Servicing | $648 | $648 |
| Battery replacement | ||
| Resale value | $-124 | $-122 |

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.
