Rattan LM/LF Ultra vs. Lectric One: Why Rattan LM/LF Ultra is the best folding bike under $1500?

Rattan ELectric bike team designed LM/LF ultra to be the ultimate folding bicycle. Lectric, one of the most renowned e-bike brands in the U.S., has made a name for itself with its flagship folding model, the Lectric One. This e-bike has been widely loved by the market, but now it faces fierce competition from the Rattan Ultra.

Who is the True Long-Range Champion?

The Lectric One proudly carries the "long-range" label, boasting an impressive 30-mile range. However, the Rattan Ultra takes things to another level with its superior battery, delivering an astonishing 120-mile range.

But that’s not all—the Rattan ultra also comes equipped with 4.0 all-terrain fat tires, ensuring a smooth and stable ride no matter where your journey takes you. And with a top speed of 32 mph, it adds an extra thrill to every ride.

Comfort and Ride Quality 

We built our Ultra for everyday riding, daily usability, and comfort: 

  • Front suspension fork and seatpost suspension (compared to Lectric’s no suspension) smooths out more bumps and provides a comfortable ride. 
  • The 1000W powerful motor(compared to lectrics 750w), It conquers all terrains and tough road conditions with easewhether climbing hills, tackling off-road trails, or cruising through sand.
  • Thoughtful geometry and gearing make the ride feel smooth, nimble, and natural over variable terrain.

Which one is best for you?

If you're looking for an e-bike with exceptional range, the Rattan Ultra clearly dominates with its far superior battery life. Not only does it outperform in endurance, but it also delivers a better riding experience and more powerful performance—all while costing nearly half the price of the Lectric One.
