Short answer: Viribus TG1 wins this one, 8.6/10 against 8.3/10, mainly on price and brakes and stability. sixthreezero EZ Transit answers with step-over height and comfort and carrying.
Two light, simple folding trikes with mechanical brakes and 7 gears, at very different prices: the TG1 costs $801 less. The EZ Transit gives you a 750 W motor against 350 W, an aluminum frame, a suspension fork, a 13.5 in step-over against 15 in, and it ships 90% assembled. The TG1 gives you a parking brake, a 395 lb payload against 350 and a rear basket on casters. Both come with 30 days to change your mind: a return window at Viribus, a "30 Day Test Ride" at sixthreezero. Their batteries are close (499 Wh and 468 Wh). If you can assemble a bike, or know someone who can, the TG1 is hard to argue with. If you want it nearly ready and a little lighter (80 lb against 87 lb), the EZ Transit.
