The VERPAL, at up to 20 miles on its 12 Ah battery. The Quickie does 7.5 miles on one 10 Ah battery and 15 miles only if you add a second battery.

Is the Quickie worth over $2,000 more?

Only if low lift weight and a flat fold are your top priority. The VERPAL costs $959.99 at Walmart and beats it on range, capacity and motor power.

The VERPAL, rated to 330 lb. The Quickie is rated to 136 kg, about 300 lb.

Which climbs curbs better?

The Quickie lists a 1.5-inch obstacle climb. VERPAL does not publish an obstacle-climb figure, so the Quickie is the safer claim.
