Lectric XP4 750 Long Range vs Ride1Up Turris
Two commuter e-bikes at a similar price, compared on the same normalized specs. Both scored by us, both reviewed in full.
The verdict
These two are close enough on quality that the decision comes down to whether you'd rather have more range and a lower price (XP4) or a bike 20 lb lighter to haul around (Turris).
Buy the Lectric XP4 750 Long Range
Buy the Lectric XP4 if range and payload capacity matter more than curb weight, it's cheaper, holds way more battery, and claims 35 more miles, plus it can carry 30 lb more cargo. The fat 20x3" tires also mean it can handle rougher terrain.
Buy the Ride1Up Turris
Buy the Ride1Up Turris if you have to carry it up stairs or lift it onto a rack often. At 54 lb versus 74 lb, that 20-lb difference is real, and it edges out the XP4 slightly on torque and Genius score.
The differences that matter
- Lectric XP4 750 Long Range costs $96 less.
- Lectric XP4 750 Long Range carries 168 Wh more battery, which is the main thing that sets how far you get.
- Ride1Up Turris is 20 lb lighter, which you notice lifting it or carrying it up steps.
- Lectric XP4 750 Long Range claims 35 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.
Ride1Up Turris
What's good
- 90 Nm of torque from a 750W hub motor gives you real pull from a standstill and up climbs, which is exactly where a commuter earns its keep.
- At 54 pounds it's noticeably lighter than most 750W commuters, which makes it easier to handle at low speed and around tight spots.
- A throttle plus switchable Class 2-3 settings let you cruise with no pedaling up to 20 mph or pedal-assist up to 28.
What to know
- With no suspension fork, the 2.4-inch tires handle all the bump absorption, and because this bike can hold 28 mph, you feel rough pavement more at speed than on a slower commuter.
- Ride1Up doesn't publish a peak-power figure, so there's no burst number to compare against rivals that advertise one; the 750W sustained rating is what to go on.
