Two months ago, the German brand Lidl announced the sale of its first electric assist bikes on its website. They are now available in France, priced at 1,199 euros each.
Two models are marketed under the Crivit brand. The first, the CRIVIT Urban E-Bike X and the second, the CRIVIT Urban E-Bike Y. They are sold at a price of 1,199 euros, 100 euros less than in Belgium or Germany.
The main difference is not the price but the frame of each bike. Model Y has an open frame, making it easier to mount, unlike its counterpart X which has a high frame, as seen on many bikes.
A bike with more than interesting features
The electric bike is equipped with hydraulic brakes made by Tektro. It has a range of 70 km with a removable 360Wh battery. The battery charges in 3.5 hours, enough to recharge the bike during your workday.
The weight of the bike may seem heavy, at 20 kilos, but it is within the average weight of electric assist bikes.
