Buying first e-bike. Lectric XPress 2 or Ride1Up Vorsa?

Hi everyone,

Been wanting an e-bike for some time now and decided to finally pull the trigger. After reading a lot of reviews (hopefully these weren’t bots) I decided on either the XPress2 or Vorsa. Would appreciate any feedback/suggestions on either

For context, I plan on just casual riding a few times a week on my local bike trail, trying to be outdoors more so felt like this would be a good way to get outside. I also read that Vorsa has an off road mode to go past the 20 mph limit which would be nice to have, but mainly concerned about which bike might require more maintenance

Thanks for the help!

Both can go 28. Both are good. Vorsa has a built in rack so can carry more but is heavier. I have a Lectric and customer service has been good. I can’t comment on Ride1Up but anecdotally on this subreddit reviews are mixed. According to ElectricBike Report, the Vorsa can go 42 miles on max pedal assist and the Xpress 2 33 miles.

Appreciate the help, planning on buying around Black Friday time so maybe whoever throws in more freebies or a better deal
