The Crivit Classic e-bike, or Basic Urban electric bicycle, is now available at Lidl's online stores in several European countries. This cheaper model has a rear motor with three assistance modes and a boost tool. Other features include a suspension fork and Kenda tires, as well as accessories like lights and a luggage rack.
