Just bought this bike (using your code ^^). Cant wait to ride it, after owning my EP2 pro for around a year, its not really performing too good anymore, so cant wait for this little bike as an upgrade!
Thanks for the review, it's very useful to me because this bike is one of my possible choices. What I miss from the video is what's up with the support for the bike and accessories, what is the long term ownership cost? I heard bad things about these topics and I'm not sure if I should buy this bike or some other, more established brand. 🤔 Any thoughts?
I find if you have any doubts its best to look elsewhere as what you are doubting is likely to happen and you doubt because the storys you've heard make sense and your wisdom is saying leave it.
Hey man do you have an estimated date for when the PVY Libon review will drop? I’m very interested in seeing if the 500 watt version can be restricted to 250 watts and/or has a removable throttle. Thanks!
I admire your commitment to persevere through that rain. I reckon on a dry day you'll get a better time up that hill. Nevertheless impressive hill climb ability for a 250w.
Hi lad, I've been following ya for a while. I've bought a pvy z20max. It's nice bit of kit. Can I tap your knowledge, how to de restric the speed please. I'm unsure I will use it at excessive speeds, but the sequence will be helpful. Also I bought using your evrc50 fyi. And will do for second bike. Cheers, great videos
i just bought this bike last friday and it got here today and its all faulty :(, i can change both batteries to full and when i get it all ready and about to start the bike, it doesnt turn on, i have no idea if it a baterry connection issue or just the desplay and the buttons dont work
@@e-VRC Thanks for your reply. I bought one a few weeks ago mainly on the strength of your previous review and looking at reviews of other e-bikes and I’m happy with it apart from the derailleur gears have stopped shifting altogether which I need to get repaired. Other than that it’s been no problem.
@@e-VRC I'm not so concerned with speed, getting caught with it unlocked would get me a fine similar to driving a car without insurance and a license. This one has a better range and a torque sensor, but I'm worried about it dealing with hills. I'll give this video another watch tomorrow. Cheers
This bike is looking nice but im thinking of picking up the ADO air 20 pro for my journey to work, have you had good experiences with ado or heard anything good about them?
Hi i have purchased pvyz20 max but the pedal assist is not working. I have tried on all assist level but the motor is not giving any power although everything is on. Can anyone help?
@@e-VRC thanks for your reply. I need it only locked to be legal. Our streets here got 25% gradient. My scenario is: To work: 2miles downhill, 1 long stairs, 40min train, 3 miles flat street And all the way back home these way. And this 25% uphill is killing me after work. It should be not to heavy because of the stairs. Max 25kg. I m 100kg with 1,73m. Strong but not very sporty.
@@Sk1llBrEaKeR based on what I've tested maybe the Pvy z20 plus 1000 as it comes locked to '250' but really it's more powerful but the website also says it's 250w.
Mine does not start up without the bottle battery. I also noticed that the bottle battery did not charge when I put the charger in the frame plug. Is this normal?
@@MrHornisse yes, mine will work fine without the extra battery, however it has to be charged seperately. Unless the key position has something to do with it. What position did you have the key in to charge both batteries together, please?
Generally if you can get some high view videos then they'll contact you. Don't put the bike name on the thumbnail put a selling point and a clearer pic without the same headshot on each. However if you're contacting them, let them know what videos you're willing to make for them: unboxing, review, various tests. They like lots of videos.
If only this bike was 48V. How's the braking power? What about front fork? I don't like that you need to have the key to give power. It should have a power switch on the batteries.
I hope PVY gave you the nod to make this video because they are finally going to fulfil orders I ordered this mid May with a beginning of June delivery estimate then it was the 10th June then 20th June then 30th June then 4th of July then the 12th July so as I say hopefully your making this video as they are finally going to start shipping tomorrow
@@Phallenuk Have you found out how to unlock it? I saw a German video and he was explaining it and I had English subtitles on so it was not great and hard to follow but I did catch he managed to get the 30mph once unlocked. I have not found much info on this bike even this video says it can be unlocked without telling us how I am in the UK seems to be a problem getting the bike in the UK in the EU seems to be ok now after a similar delay
@@Maverick247 Hold the left brake and turn on the bike, keep holding for 10-15 seconds. The PO8 setting doesn't seem to do anything. Also the rear hub has no power ratings visibly printed on it. When I changed the freewheel to a 11-28 I found the rating hidden behind it. I do wonder if the UA-cam reviewers were sent faster prototypes. I could be not fully unlocking it, something in the settings I missed maybe. It is a nice bike though and fine for my usage but my version is not 30+ mph.
By the sound of the video you prefer the Engwe E26 for the build quality? Just ordered the E26 which in the UK is £1300 wonder what your thoughts would be compared
I'd go with the E26 if budget was no problem. More expensive but there's nothing I don't like about that bike. Apart from maybe you don't need the key to run it.
Love your commitment despite the weather ❤

@@Mr.Craftastic I'll be doing a comparison with this bike in a couple of weeks. Proper review will come later. You can do those things though 👍

I admire your commitment to persevere through that rain.

i want a torque sensor that is set extremely high, so i get all the power at a light torque.

Does the bike utilise both batteries or is the bottle battery for when the main battery is flat?
@@KimSenior that's a good question. I'm not 100% but when both are connected and have power they usually act as one high capacity battery

*That weather* 😭😭
That bike frame 🤩🤩
Real world spec 😪😪
I need to do it more often tbh and not be scared of it. Not like it's a board.
When in rain you should clear the camera lens when riding. And are you using both batteries at the same time, as you're not explaining this?
@@davep8361 I had the same thought when I watched it back 🤦
I can't decide between this and the PVY Z20 Plus. :-/ They're the same price for me in Poland.
@@Obi-Wan_Pierogi plus 1000 is faster and heavier. This has better range. The suspension is annoying on this one too.

So it's illegal on UK roads
They have classed it as 250w so if the bike is locked as it is when it arrives and the throttle is taken off then it's legal
If money,weight was not a problem but main focus is reliablebility and build quality which one would take for daily work commute?

For me the Ridstar beats Engwe, and this one into a cocked hat
I've just put together the Ridstar Q20 pro. Looks great. Hoping to ride it this weekend.
Not real weather .....shite weather!
