Even before you set your eyes forth on the bike, you need to be well aware of what you’re paying for. While specifications aren’t the best way to gauge the experience you’d be paying for, it provides good insight into what you can expect.
Battery:
As is evident, the Mokwheel has a far-superior battery spec—implying that you can go for faster speeds for longer.
Range:
Speaking of which, it even goes faster than the Radrunner Plus or the Himiway Zebra. The Mokwheel has the same range as the Himiway, which is a lot more than the Radrunner.
Power:
All this, and yet the Mokwheel is better, at least power-to-weight wise! It seems like a one-way story so far if the difference in the price isn’t a huge factor for you, doesn’t it?

The specifications don’t always tell us the complete story. Where the story ends with specifications, a new chapter starts with the extra features. Does the plot end the same way here too?
Throttle:
Thumb throttles have a lot of advantages. For one, you're not going to get that sore wrist some people complain about with twist throttles. When you use a half-twist or a full-twist throttle, after going in a straight line for a while, your wrist is putting pressure on the throttle, and it can get sore holding it steady in that position.
Capacity:
The Radrunner Plus is also (arguably) the more comfortable of the three. The integrated seat post makes for a rather comfortable riding experience. But that is just about it. The Mokwheel and the Himiway can carry more weight, the hydraulic disc brakes carry more bite, and for the right crowd, the full twist throttle on the Mokwheel also enables for a more intuitive riding experience—albeit not as safe as a half-twist.

The extras are what will determine your experience with the brand. You don’t just buy the product; you give yourself a chance to invest in the value of the brand too.
Warranty:
While this is extremely subjective, the fact that all three brands offer free shipping and a year or more of warranty speaks volumes. They are here to not only provide a solid riding experience, but also earn your trust in the process.
Shipping:
The Himiway and the Mokwheel are quicker to process your order and give you 24 more hours of headspace in case you wish to return it. They also give you an extra year of warranty, in case things aren’t according to your wishes. Safe to say, all the three brands are similarly if not equally reliable. You won’t be making a mistake that way.
Conclusion
At the end of the day, you have to put a price-for-value evaluation to know if your purchase is worth it or not. Apart from the price, Mokwheel Basalt ST has better battery specs, more speed, and a longer range, as well as a greater warranty. Is it worth the extra cost? That is something you have to decide.
