They're solid OGG - I've got one at home & am very happy with it
I managed to crack the little tool tray a bit, but that was because I dropped it from some height onto a hard floor - not because of any design or construction issues. These typically sell out quickly and then appear on ebay for much more afterwards

Was going to say the Lidl one comes with the handlebar thingy as well (mine did) but looking at the pics again I'm not sure tbh
