Variations in the Models
The four Crivit e-bikes show some distinctions. The X.3 and Y.3 belt versions come with a Gates SideTrack carbon belt, which is claimed to be long-lasting and requires no maintenance. The other two models have a Shimano Cues U4000 9-speed derailleur. The X.3 bikes feature a stepover frame, suitable for riders between 170 to 195 cm (around 5’7″ to 6’5″) tall, while the Y.3 models are step-through, recommended for those standing 160 to 190 cm (approximately 5’3″ to 6’3″) tall.
Power and Features
All of the models are fitted with a Mivice M080 motor located at the rear, offering 250 W power and 40 Nm torque. This setup allows for assistance at speeds reaching up to 25 kph (about 16 mph), providing three different modes along with a 20-second boost option. The 355 Wh battery is expected to offer an assistance range of 100 km (around 60 miles); it can be taken out for charging, with a full charge taking around 3.5 hours. Additional features include Schwalbe Big Ben 27.5″ tires and Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes. Plus, there are accessories like a headlight, tail light, a rear luggage rack, an SP Connect smartphone holder, and a Fidlock “Bike Base” magnetic mount (currently priced at $14.89 on Amazon). Customers can select from various frame colors, with the bikes weighing between 23-24 kg (roughly 51-53 lbs).
Pricing and Availability
Right now, you can purchase the Crivit Belt Drive X.3 and Y.3 e-bikes for a special price of €1,299 in both the Netherlands and France, where they usually cost around €1,499-€1,599. The Shimano X.3 and Y.3 e-bikes are pricier in these regions, with a recommended retail price of €1,599-€1,699; however, they are currently marked down to €1,399. It’s uncertain how long these discounts will remain in effect. In Germany, the belt drive versions are listed at €1,699, while the Shimano models are available for €1,799.
