After our German and Belgian neighbors, it is France’s turn to benefit from the latest Lidl electric bikes, the famous CRIVIT Urban E-Bike. Available in low and high frames, this pair will be launched at a very attractive price of 1199 euros, for a very promising technical sheet on paper.
At the beginning of March, Lidl launched a new generation of electric bikes in Belgium and Germany. Their names ? The CRIVIT Urban E-Bike
Good news: France also has the right to these versions, the brand informs us in an official press release. The launch will take place on March 25, 2024 exclusively on the Lidl website. Above all, its price drops by 100 euros compared to our Belgian and German neighbors: here, the VAE will be available at a price of 1199 euros.
An extremely rare torque sensor at this price
Let’s be bold with words: it’s an incredible price considering the technical sheet of the cycle. Firstly, the CRIVIT Urban E-Bike inherits a torque sensor, which is exceptionally rare on such an affordable electric bike. As a reminder, such a sensor allows you to transmit assistance proportional to the force you put into the pedals.
This provides more natural and dynamic electrical behavior. Above all, it is a technology that we generally see on VAEs sold for around 2000 euros. Obviously, a full test will need to determine the quality of this torque sensor, and see how well it responds to the user’s finger and eye.
This sensor is associated with a Mivice M080 motor with a torque of 40 Nm, a Gates belt transmission, a 360 Wh LG battery (100 km range in Eco mode) which is inserted into the seat post, Schwalbe Big Ben tires or Shimano T200 hydraulic disc brakes. All of these components are relatively common on much more expensive frames.
A well thought-out stop function
Lidl does not forget safety, with a rear light fitted under the saddle and benefiting from a stop function. In other words, this light will increase in intensity when you brake, in order to better warn users behind you. Count on a weight of 21 kg and an SP Connect support to attach your smartphone to the handlebars.
As a reminder, the Lidl CRIVIT Urban E-Bike will be available on Monday March 25 exclusively on Lidl, at a price of 1199 euros. Purchasing aid can drop its price below 1000 euros.
