The fork and seat post, for example, did not withstand in our accredited test laboratory and could therefore potentially lead to accidents in the field if the quality is delivered as it is.

That's right, this is not the first time that the German consumer magazine SWR “Marktcheck” has carefully examined e-bikes from the discounter Lidl. The difference between the report broadcast on August 6, 2024 and the previous test: the new edition of the single-speed bike is now supposed to be able to bear 140 kg instead of the 120 kg permissible total weight, what it does not reliably over the long term, according to our first test.

Missed the programme? No problem:

You find Annika Erbach’s and Daniel Gueldner’s report broadcast in “Marktcheck” in the ARD-Mediathek (ARD media centre).
