Spec-by-spec comparison

Green marks the better published figure. "Not listed" means the manufacturer doesn't publish it.

SpecLectric XPedition 2Jasion KagoWeight
Rated motor powerThe motor's nominal (rated, sustained) output as the maker states it, not the higher peak figure. Peak figures appear in each bike's notes. A bike whose maker publishes only a peak figure scores as the lowest rated figure in the category. 750 W Not listed 15%
Battery capacityBattery capacity in watt-hours. Where the maker lists only volts and amp-hours, we multiply them (for example 48 V x 15 Ah = 720 Wh) and say so in the product's notes. Larger batteries generally go farther under the same conditions. 624 Wh 2080 Wh 15%
Claimed rangeThe maker's own maximum range claim, usually in the lowest assist level. Real range depends on rider weight, hills, wind, temperature and assist level, so treat it as a comparison figure, not a promise. Where a maker gives a span, we use the top of it. 60 mi 120 mi 15%
Top assisted speedThe highest assisted speed the maker lists, including settings unlocked in the app or display. 28 mph is the Class 3 ceiling, so anything above it scores the same as 28 mph. 28 mph 28 mph 10%
Payload capacityThe maker's maximum load for rider plus cargo. Where the maker gives a gross vehicle weight instead, we subtract the bike's weight and say so in the notes. 450 lb 350 lb 25%
Bike weightLighter bikes are easier to lift, carry upstairs and ride with the motor off. A weight published without the battery is not comparable, so it shows as Not listed. 73.7 lb 94 lb 5%
Motor torquePeak torque in newton-metres as the maker states it. More torque helps on hills and when starting with a load. 85 Nm 80 Nm 10%
Hydraulic disc brakesYes when the maker lists hydraulic disc brakes. They generally need less hand force than mechanical (cable) discs. Yes Yes 3%
Water resistanceThe water digit of the IP rating the maker lists for the bike (the second digit, so IPX5 and IP65 both count as 5). Where only the battery or motor carries a rating, we say so in the notes and leave the bike rating blank. Not listed Not listed 2%
