Hey there, new cyclist here.

I recently purchased the PVY Z20 Plus for my trips to and from work. I have around 25 km each way across the Danish country side, and this has been an unbelievably positive change in my daily commute. I am extremely pleased with my bike. There were concerns about the legality of this particular bike in Denmark, but after thorough research, I am fairly confident that no laws are being broken. The PVY Z20 Plus can be purchased completely legally here because it is EU and CE approved. A bike that can be unlocked to drive faster than 25 km/h, can only be driven by someone with a scooter license or a normal driver's license if you are over 18. You are also required by law to have liability insurance and a helmet. That's it.

First off, it is a bit on the large side for a small person like me - 172cm - and after a few days of riding, I can feel the stretch in my arms and legs, even with the saddle as low as it can be without it rotating in the chassis. I can get used to this though, without any bodily strain. The overall weight of the bike in terms of carrying it, is also above average for me. But the ergonomic grip on the chassis, in front of the saddle, makes for a great and well balanced carrying point. Out of the box, it was easy to assemble, although I did miss a detailed description of this in the manual, just as to be certain no mistakes were made. The optional throttle is also really easy to install, as well as the excellent smart phone holder. (After a few days of riding I even found a USB port on the on board computer display for charging your phone. Fancy!) I did find the handle bars quite hard to fasten tight enough and there is still a tiny bit of rotational veil after locking in the height of them. I really like the folding mechanisms for the handle bar and the chassis. The battery is also easy to remove after folding it.

The riding experience is amazing. Great fat tires for all terrain biking. The front fork suspension is adjustable (can also be locked). No need to worry about high sidewalks edges or anything like that - this bike just eats right through it all. After studying how the electric motor gears work, it can certainly take you places in jiffy. I have reached a top-speed of 51.3 km/h. This was of course down hill on a well asphalted road, way out in the country side with no traffic, with good visibility, no animals or people around, a good helmet and ful control of the bike. What a rush! I feel like I should fiddle around in the sensitivity setting for the motor assist, because I almost feel like it doesn't require any physical energy to get up to speed. Not that this is a negative thing, but it's a bit of a waste of the 7 manual gears to just sit at number 7 all day, since the motor helps you so much, that you never need to go lower. I look forward to getting to know the balance of this better.

As far as signalling goes, I was excited about having indicator lights, but since you can't see them in your display or hear them blinking, it can be hard to be sure if they are on or off, especially if you are wearing gloves and can't feel if the switch is properly pressed. Perhaps a sideways toggle switch would be a better solution here.

Since I often work evenings, I have had quite a few rides through the night. I never thought I would enjoy insulating myself with ski-underwear and wearing 5 layers of clothing, biking in the coldness of the Danish month of March - where Winter hasn't quite let go of us yet - in -2 degrees celsius, with a starry sky and a full moon above. It can really be beautiful. The headlight is super strong, so you can easily see far ahead of you, even where there are no streetlights. I have been able to ride comfortably in a steady 30-40 km/h speed avoiding obstacles and wildlife easily.

The battery life is really impressive. My 26 km on the coldest evenings, through countryside terrain has only taken around 30-35% of the battery life. I have yet to determine how fast the battery charges, but so far I have no worries about this at all.
Now my only worry is making sure no one steals this beast while parking in downtown Copenhagen. I have an Abus Bordo folding bike lock, which is virtually invincible. I have used this to lock it to a metal fence. I was still concerned about thieves with the proper equipment and willpower to steal it regardless of these safety measurements. Tonight I will try and fold it up completely, and lock it through both tires against the same metal fence.

Overall one of the best purchases I have ever made for myself!

Ticked all the boxes for me, relatively light with BMX size tyres and a cadence sensor. The battery life is ok, I get about 20 miles as a 95kg rider using the maximum setting. Build quality was fine on mine too, and the bike arrives almost assembled. The only gripe I have is the motor doesn't disengage from the drivetrain if you only want to use your own power, so you'll be pedaling the motor round as well. The bike also looks fantastic in the black/grey that I have, I literally get kids saying "nice bike" as I go by 😁

Qualità prezzo imbattibile!

Love our new bikes, sturdy but nippy, great power on the villa and super comfortable ! Really pleased with our purchase, arrived when promised and easy to assemble ! 5 stars

Except the battery...it is not lasting long...especially in a country with alot of uphils like Greece, rest It is so good....I did not expected.

Good features but rear suspension is so hard please send me a link for a soft suspension

At least in a first few kilometers it surprised with nice looks and smooth riding.

Surprising well torque sensor and power even in lowest assistance level.

It needs some getting used to from the regular bike in terms of riding position at it is a short distance between seat and handlebar.

Részemről maximálisan elégedett vagyok a két biciklivel, remélem még sok éven át kitart majd.

Von der Bestellung bis zur Lieferung Alles perfekt. Die Montage war auch ohne Anleitung sehr einfach und logisch, die 1. Probefahrt war ein Erlebnis. Die leichtgängige Shimano Schaltung perfekt, der Motor sehr kräftig, man hat das Gefühl, dass er viel mehr drauf hat.
Fazit: Tolles bike, viel Power und ein echter Hingucker! 5 Sterne!!

Portugal deep interior nature! Me and my travel friend!

Excellent driving experience, intuitive to use aids and gears. Excellent behavior from the hydraulic brakes, with grip from the tires, whether on land or asphalt. In terms of engine, it complies with the locked system, and unlocked it's fun guaranteed, with the trotlle it's super fun giving the full sensation of driving a motorcycle. Quite comfortable in terms of seat and suspensions. In terms of battery and duration, I'm still doing tests, but it promises good autonomy. In terms of folding the vehicle and storing it in a car, it is truly fantastic.

Hola, estoy cada vez más contento con la bici no me defrauda en nada tanto en potencia como autonomía la uso para la pesca mayormente en playa y no se le resiste nada soy muy feliz, gracias pvy y feliz navidad

Till now it was a good experience (240 kilometers cycled). Some sounds come from the breaks I don't know if I have to adjust them individually. Otherwise it was a bit tricky to get the bike running because I am not building bikes everyday. And there were no instructions what to do first. But I am happy now with my purchase. The power of the battery is strong in my opinion. But as range was mentioned 120 kilometers... Sometimes when u ride only on battery, well it depends on the speed you also choose but u won't make it 120 kilometers. But I think if you ride efficiently u can achieve the 120 kilometers. I am happy for now, and I hope that the support will be good for this bike. Kind regards from geehategaming

sehr zufrieden, mein Kumpel hat es gesehen und auch gleich gekauft.

Kontra:
Der Service ist absolut top – schnelle und zuverlässige Unterstützung bei Fragen und Problemen. Allerdings gibt es kleine Schwächen bei den Unterfunktionen: Zum Beispiel lässt sich der Gashebel nicht deaktivieren, was etwas störend ist. Der Motor ist leider etwas zu laut, und das Licht könnte ebenfalls besser sein – es reicht zwar aus, ist aber nicht optimal.

Pro:
Abgesehen davon macht das Fahren richtig viel Spaß! Für meine Größe von 1,90 m ist das E-Bike ideal, da es stabil und robust gebaut ist. Insgesamt ein solides Bike mit kleinen Schwächen, das sich besonders für große Fahrer gut eignet. Mit einem Preis von 969 € (inkl. 30 € Rabattcode) ist das E-Bike absolut unschlagbar – hier gibt es wirklich nichts zu meckern!
