Just tested G-line electric, Vektron P5i and 20Pro.

What I look for: light/highly adjustable/super assist on hills/ no batt anxiety

G-Line £3.7k
Pros: Freaking fast acceleration past the speed limit when I want it; very agile; compact and lightest
Cons: handlebar not adjustable. I prefer upright position ( less load and strain on shoulder and neck)

P5i £4K
Pros: highly adjustable/somewhat smoother and quieter ride than G-line
Cons: noticeable “deceleration” past the speed limit. ; less nimble than g-line but no biggy.

20Pro £3k
Pros: surprisingly comfortable for me (5’10). Loved the ride the most even though the adjustability is not great. Auto gear shifting is good. Cheapest b/w the 3 by £1k!
Cons: I like the auto gear shifting but it also seems to lag behind my intentions. No manual shift/ not sure how it’ll react on slopes.

Any user experience on those please? What are your thoughts? (I’m leaning on UTO 20Pro)

Just tested the Brompton G Line Electric, Tern Vektron P5i, and UTO PRO20.
What I’m looking for:
Lightweight
Highly adjustable riding position
Strong assistance on steep hills
No range anxiety
Brompton G Line Electric (£3.7k)
Pros
Incredibly quick acceleration up to the assistance limit.
Very agile and fun to ride.
Most compact when folded and the lightest of the three.
Cons
Handlebars aren’t adjustable. I prefer a more upright riding position to reduce strain on my shoulders and neck.
Tern Vektron P5i (£4k)
Pros
Highly adjustable fit.
Slightly smoother and quieter ride than the G Line.
Cons
I noticed the assistance tails off quite noticeably once you reach the speed limit.
Feels a little less nimble than the G Line, although that’s not a deal-breaker.
UTO PRO20 (£3k)
Pros
Surprisingly comfortable for me (5’10”).
My favourite ride of the three, even though the fit isn’t especially adjustable.
Automatic shifting worked well overall.
Around £1,000 cheaper than the other two.
Cons
The automatic shifting sometimes lagged behind what I wanted it to do.
No manual gear override.
I’m not sure how well the automatic gearing copes with long or steep climbs.
Has anyone owned or spent significant time with any of these bikes? I’d love to hear about long-term reliability, hill climbing, battery range in real-world use, and whether you’d buy the same bike again.
At the moment I’m leaning towards the UTO PRO20.
