Where each one wins
- Hiboy P6 is 18.1 kg lighter.
- Hiboy P6 is 144 Wh more battery.
The Hiboy P7 does not lead on a single measured axis here. That does not make it the wrong bike, but it does mean the Hiboy P6 is the one to justify not buying.
What each one costs to own
Over 5 years the two land within 5% of each other, which is inside the error on any of these inputs. Cost is not the deciding factor here.
That figure moves mostly on the battery. The Hiboy P6 covers about 46,080 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Hiboy P7, about 38,400 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.

Verdict
On the measured axes the Hiboy P6 is the better buy, and the Hiboy P7 needs a reason of its own: a colour, a frame, a shop you trust, a price that moves. None of those are in our numbers, and all of them are legitimate.
Range here is an estimate under one reference ride, not a measurement. Yours will differ with terrain, weight, tyres and weather, which is what the range calculator is for.
