Round 3: Speed rule
Winner: Konnan Thunder 1000W
The Thunder comes electronically limited to 32 km/h. The K6S listing says 55 km/h, above the 32 km/h limit for riding without a license or plate.
Round 4: Suspension and comfort
Winner: Konnan Thunder 1000W
The Thunder has front and rear suspension. The K6S has suspension only at the front, and one buyer complains about the ergonomics, with knees high when pedaling.
Round 5: Reviews and trust
Winner: Honeywhale K6S
The K6S is rated 4.7 with 126 reviews. The Thunder has no reviews on the listing yet, so there is no usage history.
Verdict
On paper, the Konnan Thunder wins four of the five rounds: bigger battery, lower price, limited speed and dual suspension. What counts against it is the lack of reviews. The K6S has a track record, but advertises 55 km/h and costs more.
