Lectric XP4 750 Long Range vs Cyrusher Aura

Two commuter e-bikes at a similar price, compared on the same normalized specs. Both scored by us, both reviewed in full.

The verdict

Genius scores put these a point apart (89 vs 88), so the real decision is whether you value the Lectric's lower price and longer claimed range or the Cyrusher's lighter frame and wider tires.

Buy the Lectric XP4 750 Long Range

Buy the Lectric XP4 if you want the cheaper bike with more range on paper: it's $100 less, claims 25 more miles, and edges out the Aura on torque (85 Nm vs 80 Nm) and battery capacity (840 Wh vs 780 Wh).

Buy the Cyrusher Aura

Buy the Cyrusher Aura if you'll be lifting or carrying the bike often (it's 8 lb lighter) or want fatter tires (26"x4.0" vs 20"x3") and slightly more payload capacity (350 lb vs 330 lb) for stability over range.

The differences that matter

  • Lectric XP4 750 Long Range costs $100 less.
  • Cyrusher Aura is 8 lb lighter, which you notice lifting it or carrying it up steps.
  • Lectric XP4 750 Long Range claims 25 more miles of range, though both figures are the manufacturer's optimistic "up to" number.

The short version on each

Lectric XP4 750 Long Range

What's good

  • The 840Wh battery is genuinely large for a folding commuter, so you can chain together several days of short rides before you need to plug in.
  • A 750W rear hub motor with 85 Nm of torque pulls a loaded bike away from a stoplight and up moderate hills without straining.
  • The folding frame collapses small enough to ride along in a car trunk or slot into a hall closet, so bike parking stops being your problem.

What to know

  • At about 71 lb it's heavy for a folder, so think of the fold as a way to store it or load it into a car, not as something you'll routinely carry up a flight of stairs.

Cyrusher Aura

What's good

  • Low step-through frame and 26" x 4.0" fat tires make it easy to get on and comfortable over rough streets
  • Big 780Wh battery with up to 60 miles of claimed range, so you're not charging constantly
  • A throttle lets you ride without pedaling up to 28 mph, great for hills and pulling away from a stop

What to know

  • Cyrusher's own spec sheet disagrees on battery size and torque, so the safe move is to plan around the conservative numbers we cite
  • As a Class 3 bike hitting 28 mph on the throttle, it may be off-limits on bike paths that cap e-bikes at 20 mph, so check your local rules if your commute uses them
