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.
Lectric Ebikes
Lectric eBikes suits riders who want a wide choice of e-bike shapes at a low entry price, with fees from $799. The catch is coverage: the brand lists US and CA for shipping and a frame warranty of 1 year, so plan around that.

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.
Lectric Ebikes
Pros
- Fees start at $799, among the lower entry points in the e-bike category.
- The range covers commuter, city and step through, from folding to cargo and fat tire.
- A throttle is fitted, so power on demand does not depend on pedalling input.
Cons
- Shipping is limited to US and CA, so anyone outside those markets is buying without a listed delivery route.
- Warranty cover is thin: 1 year on the frame and 1 year on the battery.
- Repairs run through a partner network rather than an in house team, so servicing depends on third parties.
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.
Lectric Ebikes
Who it suits
- Riders on a firm budget who want the widest spread of bike shapes from one brand, from a 21.8 kg folding model to a cargo bike rated to 204 kg.
- Commuters who prefer a own motor, since hub placement is what the range is built around.
- Anyone comfortable buying in US and CA and dealing with a partner repair network for servicing.
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders in US and CA who need delivery outside those markets, since that is the full listed coverage.
- Buyers who want long cover, since the frame warranty runs 1 year.
- People who want servicing in house rather than through a partner network.

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.
Lectric Ebikes
What does a Lectric eBikes cost at the entry and the top of the range?+
Bikes start at $799 and the top of the range sits at $1,999. Entry pricing is the stronger side: the brand ranks 43 of 149 on price from, while the top model ranks 54 of 145 on price to. Expect to pay more for the long range, dual battery version.
How far can the range go on one charge?+
The long range dual battery model claims 273.6 km and carries a battery of 1,680 Wh, the largest listed. Real range will vary with load, terrain and assist level, so treat that figure as a ceiling rather than a daily expectation on a commute.
