- Lectric XP4 750 Long-Range: Size chart starts at 4'10" (passes the 5'2" screen)
Choose the Fold 1 Plus if

- Its brand-suggested height range goes higher, to 6'5"
- Not in our data yet: what the weight limit includes.
Choose the XP4 750 Long-Range if
- It lists 10 Nm more motor torque. Brands measure torque differently, so whether it climbs better is untested
- Its battery stores 232 Wh more energy; real range also depends on the motor, your weight, assist level and route
- Not in our data yet: what the weight limit includes.
Neither, if
- You'll carry it up a flight of stairs every day: both are over our 50 lb one-flight screen. Find one that passes for my stairs

Why we compare these two
Two folding e-bikes whose size charts start lower than almost any other bike in our catalog with a strong motor. Shorter riders who also need to store a bike in a small space compare these. See the full commuter e-bikes for shorter riders (5'2" and under) guide.

Returns, if you ride it and change your mind
Velotric Fold 1 Plus:
If you ride it and send it back: 14 days from delivery. Stated restocking charge $200 if unused; prepaid label after approval. Ridden: Velotric's page is unclear about returning a ridden bike, so don't count on it. Velotric may also deduct delivery signature, return shipping and insurance, and doesn't publish how much. Refusing delivery costs $200. Unclear in the policy: Policy lists a 22% fee for used bikes but also lists 'used products' as non-returnable. Seller's return policy (read 2026-10-31).
Lectric XP4 750 Long-Range:
Returns at this price: Lectric decides returns case by case and says all sales are final once a bike ships. A return needs a good reason Lectric accepts, written authorization first and the original packaging; the bike must be unused (an e-bike that has been ridden is not eligible) and not kept 14 days. A restocking fee of up to $300 may apply and you pay return shipping.
If you ride it and send it back: Buyer pays return shipping plus a restocking fee of up to $300 at Lectric's discretion. A return is not guaranteed: the bike must be unridden, kept under 14 days and returned for a reason Lectric accepts. Seller's return policy (read 2026-10-31).

- Lectric XP4 750 Long-Range: does the 330 lb weight limit include the bike itself?
