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.
Superhuman Bikes
Superhuman Bikes makes belt-drive e-bikes for US riders who want a light, cargo-capable commuter rather than a budget bike. It suits buyers who will use finance, and prices start at $1,000, a mid-market entry for a range that reaches $6,000.

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.
Superhuman Bikes
Pros
- Belt drive comes with hydraulic disc brakes, a combination that suits stop-start city riding and keeps an oily chain away from clothes.
- A removable battery and a claimed range of 112 km mean charging does not have to happen where the bike is parked.
- A top payload of 124.74 kg makes the range a real load carrier rather than just a ride to work.
Cons
- Frame warranty is 1 year and battery warranty 1 year, which is thin cover on the most expensive part of the machine.
- The money back window is a 14 day period, so a sizing or fit problem has to be settled quickly.
- Servicing runs through partner dealers rather than an in-house workshop, so your local options decide how easy repairs are.
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.
Superhuman Bikes
Who it suits
- Riders who want a belt drivetrain, a throttle and a removable battery on the same bike rather than a bare commuter.
- People moving heavy things: the top payload is 124.74 kg, which covers panniers, a laptop and shopping in a single trip.
- Buyers willing to stretch up, since the range reaches $6,000 and includes heavier trail models as well as the entry bike.
Who should look elsewhere
- Kalkhoff riders who want more frame styles: Kalkhoff lists city, hybrid and step through, a broader set of shapes than commuter, road and emtb gives a Superhuman Bikes buyer.
- Anyone who needs a cargo or folding bike: Tern lists cargo, commuter and folding, and those types sit outside the commuter, road and emtb offered here.
- Riders who want fat-tire or folding wheels for sand and snow: HK Beirui Trade Co. lists commuter, folding and fat tire, so start there instead.

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.
Superhuman Bikes
How much does a Superhuman Bikes e-bike cost at entry?+
Superhuman Bikes bikes are sold outright, so the figures are purchase prices rather than a plan with an opening payment and a later renewal. The range starts at $1,000 and the top is $6,000. The gap between both ends is wide, so the model matters as much as the badge.
How far does a Superhuman Bikes e-bike go on a charge?+
The claimed range is 112 km, and the largest battery in the range is 840 Wh. The battery is removable, so you can charge it indoors or at work rather than only beside the bike. Claimed figures come from test conditions, so allow for hills, load and cold weather before planning a day around 112 km.
