The honest pick.
You want to compare mid-drive and hub-motor behavior on hills
The E3 mid-drive can use the bike's gears; that architecture alone does not prove a grade winner without a matched test.
You need to fold for transit / RV / car-trunk
Folding is the Sinch's defining feature. E3 has fixed frame.
You prioritize the higher published maximum range
Sinch publishes about 55 mi; the E3 supplier estimate converts to 37–50 mi for 25Ah. Test conditions may differ.
You want fat tire (4.0") for sand / snow / rough terrain
Sinch lists a 4.0-inch tire; E3 lists 3.0 inches with supplier-declared puncture resistance. Verify intended terrain and tire construction.
You want to compare the current listed base price
The compared listings show $999 for E3 and about $1,599 for Sinch—a $600 gap.

E3 lists 20" × 3.0" tires while the compared Sinch lists 20" × 4.0" tires. Check each exact model's official intended-use statement and limits; width alone does not prove grip or range without matched pressure, tread, compound, surface and load.
The E3 mid-drive can use the bike's gears, while the Sinch hub motor drives the wheel directly. That architecture alone does not prove a hill winner; compare both on the same grade, load, speed, battery, tires and temperature. Full motor type comparison →
