Our verdict

AsVIVA sells city, commuter, folding and step-through e-bikes direct from Germany, priced from €898 for riders who want a European commuter at a fair entry point. Finance and delivery across several European markets sit behind the sale, while a hub motor keeps the bikes modest on steep hills.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The range runs €898 to €1,778, so a buyer can set a budget before choosing a named model.
  • AsVIVA sells direct (direct), which keeps the price with the maker rather than with a dealer.
  • Batteries reach 620 watt hours for a claimed 120 kilometres, and the battery comes out for charging.
  • Brake options cover hydraulic disc and mechanical disc, and belt drive on the urban city bike suits riders who would rather not service a chain.
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so questions before and after delivery have a route.

Cons

  • A hub motor (hub) at 250 watts of nominal power leaves steep gradients and heavy loads to the rider's legs.
  • Booked servicing goes to a partner network (partner), so repairs sit outside the maker's own workshop.
  • Delivery stops at DE, BE and FR, and no route is listed for buyers elsewhere in Europe or beyond it.
  • The shapes AsVIVA builds (city, commuter and folding) skip the cargo bikes Tern lists (cargo, commuter and folding), so a load carrier should look there.

Who it suits

  • City and step-through riders who want a direct purchase and a claimed 120 kilometres of range.
  • Buyers in Germany, BE and FR who would rather use finance than pay the €898 entry figure in a single payment.
  • Riders without a garage, since the range lists a removable battery.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone after a cargo bike: Tern builds cargo, commuter and folding, and AsVIVA's city, commuter and folding carries no cargo model.
  • Trail and hybrid riders: Kalkhoff covers city, hybrid and step through, adding an e-mtb and a hybrid to AsVIVA's list.
  • Buyers wanting fat tyres: HK BEIRUI TRADE CO. lists commuter, folding and fat tire, reaching shapes outside AsVIVA's range.

Plans and prices

AsVIVA's bikes are priced outright, starting at €898 and running to €1,778, with nothing to renew after the sale. The reference models in that span are two city e-bikes, an urban city bike and a folding bike, which lets a buyer match a budget to a named bike instead of a bare range. The gap between entry and top is wide enough that a commuter and a folding buyer can both stay inside one maker's list.

How it compares on our data

On entry price AsVIVA ranks 69 of 149 brands, and on top price it ranks 58 of 145. Neither end of the ranking is a corner, since the brand sits in the middle on both measures, which is where most complete bikes for commuting sit. A similar position on entry and top suggests a range with depth rather than one lone model carrying the brand.

Core features

The battery reaches 620 watt hours and comes out of the frame for charging, with a claimed range of 120 kilometres. Weight starts at 29 kilograms and the load limit is 150 kilograms, which covers a daily ride with panniers. The urban city bike runs belt drive, so there is no chain to oil. Frame warranty runs 2 years, buyers get a 30 day money back period, and finance is available so the entry price can be spread.

The company behind it

AsVIVA trades as AsVIVA Brands GmbH and sits in Germany, with the business founded in 2004. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a question can go by email or phone or be looked up in the help centre before a sale is closed. One named company sells and answers for the bikes, which keeps the paperwork on a single entity rather than a marketplace listing.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an AsVIVA e-bike cost?+

Entry is €898 and the top of the range is €1,778, and both are outright purchase prices for the bikes themselves. The reference models across that span are two city e-bikes, an urban city bike and a folding bike, so a buyer can match a budget to a named model rather than a bare range.

Is there a subscription or renewal to pay on an AsVIVA bike?+

No recurring charge applies: the €898 to €1,778 figures are purchase prices, so there is nothing to renew once the bike is paid for. Buyers who prefer spreading the entry figure can use finance, which turns the purchase into instalments instead of a single payment.

Where does AsVIVA deliver and how do you buy?+

Delivery covers DE, BE and FR, a run of European markets that includes the home market and several neighbours. AsVIVA sells direct (direct), so the bikes come from the maker rather than a dealer, and anyone outside those markets should read the shipping terms before ordering.

How is the bike serviced once it is delivered?+

Servicing runs through a partner network (partner), so booked work goes to a partner rather than to the maker's own workshop. Support for questions sits on email, phone and help centre, and frame warranty runs 2 years from the sale. Riders far from a partner should settle that before buying.

What is the warranty and return position?+

Frame warranty runs 2 years, and buyers have a 30 day money back period on a new bike. A claim starts through support on email, phone and help centre, by email or phone. The money back period is the quicker route when a bike simply does not suit the commute.

Which kinds of bike does AsVIVA make?+

The range covers city, commuter and folding. Reference models include two city e-bikes, an urban city bike and a folding bike. That mix suits a city commute, a step-through frame and a bike that folds away, while leaving out the cargo and mountain shapes some rivals build.

What motor, battery and range do the bikes use?+

Motors sit in the hub (hub) with 250 watts of nominal power, and the range draws on bafang and own units as well as its own. The battery reaches 620 watt hours for a claimed 120 kilometres, with weight starting at 29 kilograms and a load limit of 150 kilograms.

Are the bikes legal to ride on the road where they are sold?+

AsVIVA lists its bikes in the EU 25 assist class and delivers across DE, BE and FR. Buyers outside those markets should check their own rules before ordering, since the assist class quoted here is written for the European market rather than for every country AsVIVA could ship to.
