Which is better for hilly commuting?

The VIVI FM20UL. Its 1000W peak motor and 65 Nm of torque handle climbs better than the A20's 500W hub motor.

Which has the longer range?

The Aostirmotor A20 on paper, because its 468 Wh battery is larger than the VIVI's 374 Wh. VIVI claims 44-50 miles in pedal assist, but that figure assumes light assist.

Is the VIVI worth the extra money?

Yes for most riders. At $449.99 versus $399.99, the $50 gap buys a much stronger motor, UL2849 certification, and a far better owner rating.

Which is easier to carry and store?

The VIVI FM20UL. At about 55 lb it is roughly 15 lb lighter than the A20, and both fold.

Which handles rough ground better?

The Aostirmotor A20, thanks to its 4-inch fat tires. The VIVI's 2.4-inch tires suit pavement and light gravel.

Is the A20 safe to charge indoors?

Aostirmotor does not list UL2849 or a comparable certification for the A20. The VIVI FM20UL is SGS certified to UL2849, which is the standard to look for.
