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.

Read the full AsVIVA review

engwe-bikes

ENGWE bikes suit riders who want city, folding, fat tyre and cargo e-bikes from one brand, with direct sales, finance and a claimed range of 350 km on the longest-range model. Buyers planning to keep a bike for years should weigh the 1-year frame warranty against the price before committing, because cover is thin.

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.

engwe-bikes

Pros

  • One brand covers city, folding, fat tyre and cargo bikes (city, folding and fat tire), so a household with mixed needs stays inside a single catalogue.
  • The claimed range reaches 350 km on the longest-range model and the battery ceiling is 720 Wh, with a removable pack for charging.
  • A mid motor (mid) meets hydraulic disc brakes (hydraulic disc) and an EU 25 assist class, which is the calmer setup on European roads.

Cons

  • Warranty cover is thin, with 1 years for the frame and 1 years for the battery, so a long ownership carries repair risk.
  • Repairs run through a partner network (partner) rather than ENGWE workshops, so turnaround depends on local partners.
  • The entry price of €999 sits above the €876.09 median across the site, so the cheapest ENGWE bike is not a budget buy.

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.

engwe-bikes

Who it suits

  • Riders who want a single brand across city, folding, fat tyre and cargo bikes, rather than splitting the list between Kalkhoff and TERN.
  • Cargo carriers and folders who care about a removable pack and a stated payload of 150 kg, where Kalkhoff at city, hybrid and step through carries no cargo shape.
  • Scooter buyers as well, since the same maker sells a road legal kick scooter listed for de.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone after a dealer network or step-through and eMTB shapes should look at Kalkhoff, whose range covers city, hybrid and step through.
  • Riders who want a commuter-first catalogue with cargo and folding but no fat tyre bikes should compare TERN at cargo, commuter and folding.
  • Buyers who want an eMTB option alongside folding and fat tyre should weigh HK BEIRUI TRADE CO., listed at commuter, folding and fat tire.

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.

engwe-bikes

How much do ENGWE e-bikes cost?+

Prices start at €999 and the top of the catalogue is €2,348. Both are one-off purchase figures for the bike itself, so there is no renewal charge after delivery. Finance is available, which spreads the entry price over time rather than reducing it.

Which ENGWE bikes are on sale?+

The range covers E26 3.0 Pro, P275 Pro, LE20, P275 SE, with types listed as city, folding and fat tire: city, folding, fat tyre and cargo. That spread means one maker can cover a folder for the train and a cargo bike for the school run without changing brand.
