Help Me Choose Lectric Xpress 750 Or Ride1up
- Battery & Range+1 pts
So I have the V3, and modded it, not because it was bad, but because I wanted to add my own bit of spice to it: My number one reason for going with the Roadster was the light weight. For two reasons: on a dead battery, it's very close to a regular bike in pedal difficulty so I don't ever get battery anxiety because it's almost just as easy to pedal without it. And I live in an apt, I can carry it up multiple flights with one arm if I have to. Other than that I liked the low profile (looks like a regular bike) removable battery and more widely available parts for easier maintenance. For power it'll be a wash if you get the chain driven drivetrain for the V3 (there's an option for single speed rubber belt driven one which is less maintenance but also less power, tops out at 20). But I got the chain drive and even before my upgrades I was able to get 28+mph when I put it in class three mode and I won't say what I can get now... Since they both top out at around 28mph depending on how heavy you are, I'd say the lower weight makes up for the lower torque and the 500W is accurate when put in class 3 mode. Also the V3 comes with a throttle up to 20mph without pedal assist. On eco mode I get, about the 40 miles stated so it's nice that that's accurate. I think just go with whichever you subjectively like more because in terms features they're about even. But if you want to carry it frequently, or don't want to have to dread a dead battery, the Roadster is the better choice.
