Where each one wins
- HIMIWAY A7 PRO is 13 km/h faster.
- HIMIWAY A3 is 7.7 kg lighter.
The HIMIWAY A3 leads on 1 of these, the HIMIWAY A7 PRO on 1. Neither sweeps it, so the choice comes down to which of those you actually use.
What each one costs to own
Over 5 years the HIMIWAY A3 costs about 701 EUR less to own, once purchase, charging, servicing, a battery replacement where one is due, and resale are all counted.
That figure moves mostly on the battery. The HIMIWAY A3 covers about 38,400 km before its pack is due for replacement; the HIMIWAY A7 PRO, about 38,400 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.

Verdict
On the measured axes the HIMIWAY A3 is the better buy, and the HIMIWAY A7 PRO 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.
