Questions and answers
- Which is better for a short city commute?

- Which handles hills better?
- The Velotric Fold 1 Plus. Its 750W motor, 75Nm torque and Shimano 7-speed gearing let you downshift on climbs. The XP Lite2 is single speed with a 300W nominal motor, so steep grades are hard work.
- Is the Fold 1 Plus worth $550 more?
- Yes if you need 28 mph, 68 miles of range, 450 lbs payload or a 7-speed drivetrain. No if you mainly need a light bike you can fold and carry, where the XP Lite2 wins.
