Which is better for hilly commuting?

The Heybike Ranger S 2.0. Its 750W rated motor peaks at 1400W with 80Nm of torque, and it has 7 speeds and hydraulic brakes. The Bropath's 500W motor and 3 speeds suit flat, short rides.

Is the Heybike worth $790 more?

If you ride often, yes. You get roughly double the range, fat tires, front suspension, hydraulic brakes and a 400 lbs capacity. For occasional short trips, the Bropath covers the basics for $209.99.

Which is easier to carry?

The Bropath. It folds in about 10 seconds and uses 14-inch wheels on a steel frame. The Heybike folds too but weighs 72 lbs, which riders complain about when lifting.

How far can each go on a charge?

Heybike claims 55 miles max from its 692Wh battery. Bropath claims 20+ miles in pedal-assist mode from 576Wh. Real range drops with throttle use, hills and cold weather on both.

The Heybike has the sturdier spec sheet: aluminum frame, hydraulic brakes, 400 lbs capacity and a UL2849-certified battery. The Bropath's steel frame and small wheels are built for light, occasional use.

Can either carry a heavy rider?

The Heybike is rated to 400 lbs. Bropath does not publish a load capacity, so treat it as a light-duty bike.
