2017 Trekking 5.0 S vs 2018 Trekking 9.0 S

Trying to decide between the two, founds deals in both so they are about the same price. The specs/components seem to be exactly the same. Anyone know the difference between the two?

I'm not seeing any difference in the specs. Unless you prefer the color of the 2017, the 2018 might be a better choice because the battery is "fresher."

I missed that...even more of a reason to go with the 2018 then.
