Lidl has added a compact commuter to its Crivit lineup: the Crivit Folding Electric Bike 530 Wh. Built for urban riders who want portability without sacrificing power, this folding e-bike brings a practical mix of range, features, and everyday convenience at a budget-friendly price.
At its core is a 250W Ananda M131 rear hub motor delivering 40 Nm of torque, capped at 25 km/h (about 16 mph) to comply with EU e-bike regulations. You can switch between three assistance modes—Eco, Tour, and Race—depending on terrain and battery goals, and there’s a handy Boost button for short bursts of extra power. A walk-assist setting helps when pushing the bike up ramps or through crowded areas.
The 530 Wh battery is rated for up to 80 km (around 50 miles) of assisted riding, making it well-suited for daily commutes and weekend errands. A full recharge takes approximately 5.5 hours. On the cockpit, an LED display keeps things simple with current assistance mode and remaining battery level.
Practical components round out the package: a 7-speed Shimano Tourney drivetrain for versatile gearing, Tektro MD-M300 mechanical disc brakes for dependable stopping, and 20 x 2.25-inch Kenda K841 tires for a stable, cushioned ride on city streets. Commuter must-haves come included, such as a 40 lux front light, rear light, bell, double kickstand, full fenders, and an AtranVelo luggage rack for bags and baskets. The aluminum frame keeps weight to a manageable 23.3 kg (about 51.4 lbs). While the folded dimensions aren’t listed, the bike is recommended for riders between 160 and 195 cm tall (roughly 5’3″ to 6’5″).
