In April 2025, Lidl, a European supermarket chain, expanded its line of electric bicycles with the Crivit Classique, a more affordable model aimed at daily commuters. This new model follows the previously launched Crivit X.3 and Y.3, which were more expensive and targeted a different market segment. The Crivit Classique keeps key features like an open frame and a removable battery but uses simpler components to cut costs. After more than a year on the market, the bike is now more accessible through a flash sale and discounts offered during the French Days shopping event. Originally priced at 1,199 €, it is now available for 924.99 €. The discount is automatically applied at checkout, and users can further reduce the cost by creating a free Lidl Plus account and using a "Free shipping" coupon, which eliminates standard delivery fees but leaves a 39.99 € transport fee. The Crivit Classique offers a range of up to 70 km on a single charge, weighs 24 kg, and features a 250 W motor with 40 Nm of torque. Its open frame design allows for easier saddle mounting, which is helpful when the rear rack is loaded. The bike is designed for people between 1.60 and 1.90 meters tall, according to Lidl’s technical specifications. It includes adjustable handlebars, a suspended fork to smooth out rough roads, and standard equipment such as front and rear lights, reflectors, a rear rack, a bell, and fenders. The bicycle uses a seven-speed Shimano Tourney derailleur, which is part of the entry-level range, as well as Tektro mechanical disc brakes operated by cables. These brakes require regular adjustments as the brake pads wear. The 355 Wh battery can be removed with the seat post, making it easier to charge at home, especially if the bike storage area lacks an electrical outlet. Lidl states the bike can travel up to 70 km on a single charge, but this range depends on factors like terrain, load, and the level of motor assistance chosen. Users should plan accordingly and allow for some buffer rather than relying on the maximum range. The Crivit Classique detects pedal rotation but does not use a torque sensor to measure the force applied, which means the motor assistance is not as finely tuned as on more advanced models. Users can choose from three levels of assistance, with an optional 20-second boost and a walking aid to help push the bike. Priced at 929.99 €, the Crivit Classique is seen as a good option for city travel on relatively flat routes. However, the way the assistance is activated may lead users to adjust their expectations, especially if the route includes long hills or requires carrying luggage.
