Our verdict on each
AsVIVA
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.
BikeBerry
Bikeberry suits commuters who want many e-bike shapes under a single roof at a low entry price, and it falls short for anyone after a single maker's engineering or a mid-motor drive. It scores 9.1 here, with the range opening at $399.

Pros and cons
AsVIVA
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.
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.
BikeBerry
Pros
- A single seller covers commuter, folding and fat tire, so several body styles can be compared in one place.
- Finance is a yes on the range, which puts the $399 entry point and the $8,999 top of the range within a monthly budget.
- A 30 day return window sits alongside a 1 year frame warranty.
Cons
- The frame warranty runs 1 year and the battery 0.5 years, the thinnest part of the package to read closely.
- The 350 W nominal rating sits below the 500 W median across the site, on a bafang motor in a hub position.
- Claimed range is 48 km and the largest pack is 270 Wh, light for loaded hills and long routes against the 436.7 Wh site median.
Who each suits
AsVIVA
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.
BikeBerry
Who it suits
- US riders who want a folding, step-through, fat-tire or cargo e-bike from a single seller and can live with a short warranty.
- Buyers on a budget who value the $399 entry point and hub-motor simplicity over mid-drive refinement.
- People who want throttle and belt drive options within a single catalogue.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not for riders who want one maker's engineering: Kalkhoff builds city, hybrid and step through under a single brand rather than reselling labels.
- Not for cargo-first riders: Tern concentrates on cargo, commuter and folding and treats the load as the main use.
- Not for anyone who needs eMTB geometry: HK BEIRUI TRADE CO. lists commuter, folding and fat tire, which adds eMTB frames to the shapes carried here.

Questions about each
AsVIVA
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.
BikeBerry
How much does a Bikeberry e-bike cost?+
Prices open at $399 and the range runs to $8,999 at the top. Bikes are sold outright, so those are the amounts you pay at purchase rather than an opening rate that renews higher. The gap between the two ends is wide, so the budget decides whether you look at small folding models or the loaded cargo and high-power machines.
What kinds of e-bike does Bikeberry sell?+
The range covers commuter, folding and fat tire, putting commuter, folding, fat-tire, step-through and cargo shapes under a single seller. That lets a rider compare frame styles in a single place instead of visiting separate brands. The shop stocks from 30 brands, so the badge on the frame is often another maker's, which is worth checking before you commit.
