Where each one wins

• HIMIWAY Escape PRO is 17.2 kg lighter.
• HIMIWAY Rambler is 6 Nm more torque.

The HIMIWAY Escape PRO leads on 1 of these, the HIMIWAY Rambler 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 Rambler costs about 279 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 Escape PRO covers about 38,400 km before its pack is due for replacement; the HIMIWAY Rambler, about 38,400 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.
