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.
Tenways
Tenways suits European commuters who want a mid-drive e-bike with a belt option, a removable battery and a cargo choice at the top, without paying flagship money. Entry pricing of €1,199 sits close to the market median, and the frame warranty runs 5 years. Service is partner based, so check a local workshop before committing.

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.
Tenways
Pros
- The line spans commuter, city, hybrid, step-through, cargo and longtail types, so one maker covers most daily riding.
- Belt drive is part of the range, which suits riders who want a chain-free drivetrain.
- Removable batteries and hydraulic disc brakes both feature across the line.
Cons
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, so there is no phone line for a bike that needs a workshop.
- Service runs on a partner network, so a local Tenways workshop is not guaranteed in every market.
- The top of the range, €4,999, sits well above the €2,191.53 typical ceiling for commuter e-bikes.
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.
Tenways
Who it suits
- Commuters in Austria, BE and BG who want a mid-drive bike with a removable battery and hydraulic disc brakes.
- Riders who need real carrying capacity, since the Longtail Duo takes 220 kg.
- Buyers who prefer a chain-free drivetail, as belt drive is part of the range.
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders who want mountain terrain, since Kalkhoff carries emtb models that Tenways does not list.
- Anyone wanting a folding bike, as Tern and HK Beirui Trade Co. both list folding while Tenways does not.

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.
Tenways
What does a Tenways e-bike cost?+
Prices start at €1,199 for the entry bike in the range and run up to €4,999 for the AGO Performance at the top of the line. Both ends are one-off purchase prices, not subscription fees. The Longtail Duo sits inside that span as the cargo option, and the site lists 3 alternatives for side-by-side reading.
Can I pay for a Tenways in instalments?+
Finance is available, so the entry price of €1,199 on the cheapest bike in the line can be spread rather than paid in one go. Terms are set at the point of purchase rather than quoted as a standard rate, so check the figures you are given before you commit. The top of the range is €4,999.
