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.
Mokwheel
Mokwheel suits US riders who want fat-tire, folding and commuter shapes from one maker, with a claimed range of 129 km and a hub motor across the range. Riders outside US should look elsewhere, and anyone wanting an electric mountain bike in the line has Kalkhoff, whose city, hybrid and step through include that shape.

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.
Mokwheel
Pros
- Payload is rated to 254 kg, which leaves room for a rack, panniers or a child seat rather than a rider and a backpack.
- The lightest listed bike is 14 kg, and the fat tire, step through and commuter list includes folding and step-through shapes to go with it.
- Mokwheel's fat tire, step through and commuter run wider than Kalkhoff's city, hybrid and step through, which stop at city, hybrid, step-through and electric mountain bike.
Cons
- Sales cover US only, so a rider elsewhere has no local dealer to fall back on and shipping terms decide whether the price is workable.
- Service sits with the brand's own network (both is direct and retail, but own is its own), so a local bike shop may not be able to handle a fault.
- The lightest bike is 14 kg, so the folding option is about storage rather than carrying it up stairs or onto a train.
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.
Mokwheel
Who it suits
- Riders in US who want one maker to cover a fat-tire, a folder and a step-through commuter.
- Commuters on a budget who want a belt drive option and a removable battery on the same order.
- Riders who value phone support alongside email, phone and help centre when something goes wrong.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers after an electric mountain bike: Kalkhoff lists that shape in city, hybrid and step through, while Mokwheel's fat tire, step through and commuter stop at hybrid and city.
- Anyone needing a cargo bike: Tern covers cargo, commuter and folding in cargo, commuter and folding, a category Mokwheel does not list.
- Riders outside US, where Mokwheel's listed sales and support do not reach.

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.
Mokwheel
What does a Mokwheel e-bike cost at the entry end?+
Entry bikes are advertised at $1,199.99 and the top of the range sits at $3,299.99, both in US dollars. The spread is wide because the line covers several shapes rather than a single specification, so the number worth comparing is the one on the model you have in mind. Finance is offered, which spreads the entry figure rather than demanding it in one payment.
What range can you expect from a Mokwheel?+
Mokwheel claims 129 km, and the largest battery in the range is 941 Wh. The battery is removable, so it can be charged away from the bike at a desk or a kitchen rather than waiting for a socket near the frame. Real distance depends on load, hills and assist level, so treat the claim as a headline figure.
