Lidl is positioning itself in the urban e-bike segment with its Crivit Urban E-Bike X.3 and Y.3 platform, which differ in terms of frame shape: classic diamond frame and step-through (Y.3). Both frame shapes are available with a maintenance-friendly Gates belt drive, but also with Shimano Cues derailleur gears. All Crivit e-bikes are powered by a Mivice M080 rear hub motor. The two model variants with belt drive are currently on offer on the Lidl website for 1699 euros - those with derailleur gears for 1799 euros.

The pre-mounted SP Connect SPC+ mobile phone holder and a smart tracker stash are further smart features of the X.3 and Y.3 e-bikes. An integrated AVS luggage rack, a bell and mudguards round off the package perfectly.
The Crivit X.3 Urban e-bike
The Crivit Urban E-Bike X.3 makes it easy to go uphill and downhill: whether on the way to work, on the way to the shops or on a date with friends. The 355 Wh battery is located behind the seat tube and can be easily removed for charging.
Crivit e-bikes are equipped with a torque sensor. This guarantees a natural riding experience - independent of gears. The harder you pedal, the more support you get from the motor. The built-in Mivice rear hub motor is powerful enough with up to 40 Nm, even for a lot of luggage or inclines. The e-bike motor offers three support levels: ECO, TOUR and RACE. In addition, the boost function offers full support for a short time (max. 20 seconds) in any riding situation. The support levels can be changed using micro-buttons on the handlebars. The integrated LED display shows the assistance level and battery status at the same time. The frame is ideal for a body height of 170 - 195 cm.
Maximum load:
- Max. User weight: 116kg (incl. load)
- Permissible total weight: 140 kg
The colours are available: All Black, Ash Grey or Olive Green.
The Crivit X.3 Gates drive unit
The Crivit X.3 Gates uses a belt drive, which is characterised by its durability and low maintenance requirements. Instead of a conventional chain, a carbon belt is used which, according to the manufacturer, is particularly robust and low-wear. Gears are not required on these models as the motor provides assistance depending on the pedalling power. The entire bike, fully equipped for everyday use, weighs 23 kilos >> The Crivit X.3 Gates is available here.
The Crivit X.3 Shimano Cues derailleur system
The Crivit X.3 with derailleur gears has a Shimano CUES 9-speed gear system in addition to the rear hub motor. The cassette with 11 to 36 teeth promises enough range for all kinds of tours. The gears and necessary components add around one kilo to the weight: the e-bike therefore weighs around 24 kg >> The Crivit X.3 Cues is available here.
The Crivit Y.3 Urban e-bike
The low-slung frame of the Crivit Y.3 ensures a more comfortable entry, a safer riding experience and a relaxed look. The Crivit Y.3 Urban e-bikes do not differ from the X.3 models in terms of equipment. Here too, there is a choice between belt and chain drive. The weight of the complete bike is also around 23 or 24 kg. The frame is ideal for a height of 160 - 190 cm.
Maximum load:
- Max. User weight: 116 kg (incl. load)
- Permissible total weight: 140 kg
