Short answer: Lectric XP Trike2 wins this one, 9.3/10 against 9.1/10, mainly on brakes and stability and step-over height. Viribus FC1 answers with price and battery size.
What really separates them?
The FC1 costs $500 less and, on paper, gives more: a 750 W motor against 500 W, 706 Wh against 624 Wh, rear suspension, and the same hydraulic brakes, parking brake and differential. So why does the Lectric score higher? Weight and paperwork. The FC1 weighs 129 lb, 43 lb more than the Lectric, which turns "folding" into "stores flat" and nothing more. Viribus states no step-over height and certifies the battery only (UL 2271), where Lectric certifies the whole trike to UL 2849. The Lectric also stops at 14 mph; the FC1 goes to 20. Ground-floor storage and a tight budget: FC1. Anything you must lift, or a first trike for a cautious rider: Lectric.

Which one stops and corners better?
Lectric XP Trike2: hydraulic disc brakes, 180 mm rotors, with a parking brake, and a rear differential. Viribus FC1: hydraulic disc brakes, 180 mm rotors, with a parking brake, and a rear differential. On a trike these three parts do most of the safety work: hydraulic brakes need less hand force, a parking brake holds the trike while you get on, and a differential lets the rear wheels turn at different speeds in a corner.
How far and how fast do they go?
Lectric XP Trike2: 500 W (1,092 W peak), 624 Wh of battery, up to 50 miles (Lectric), 14 mph top speed. Viribus FC1: 750 W (1,200 W peak), 706 Wh of battery, 62 miles with pedal assist, 36 miles on the throttle (Viribus), 20 mph top speed.
