Where each one wins
- VIVI H7UL is 1.5 kg lighter.
The VIVI MT26GUL does not lead on a single measured axis here. That does not make it the wrong bike, but it does mean the VIVI H7UL is the one to justify not buying.
Who each one is for
VIVI H7UL
Suits you if you want:
- 65 Nm of torque, enough for rolling ground
- rated to 120 kg of rider and luggage together
What it asks in return:
- about 27 km estimated, so it wants a charge most days
- 374.4 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 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 H7UL covers about 19,968 km before its pack is due for replacement; the VIVI MT26GUL, about 19,968 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.
| Over five years | VIVI H7UL | VIVI MT26GUL |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | $519 | $510 |
| Charging | $68 | $68 |
| Servicing | $972 | $972 |
| Battery replacement | ||
| Resale value | $-126 | $-124 |
| Total | $1,433 | $1,426 |

Which one to buy
- Pick the VIVI H7UL if you carry the bike up steps, onto a train, or into a flat.
Verdict
On the measured axes the VIVI H7UL is the better buy, and the VIVI MT26GUL 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.
