When will there be a new video with the PVYZ20 Max?

[@DeathCab4Cutie]

I just watched another review on this bike. He was quite a big dude, and he got over 30 mph on throttle only. I only weigh 57 kg, so I would expect to reach 34 mph ! (June 20th delivery date)

[@e-VRC]

Impressive. I'd be interested to see if I can get that too 🤞

[@DeathCab4Cutie]

The price is still £949, however they are giving a 70 Euros (£59) discount up until June 25th. Which now makes the price £890... Most Agreeable !

*All about that MAX Life!* 🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️🤙🏽 I love this style of frame/bike with Biiig range. 👌🏽 Suspension looks 🤩 Love the water bottle-lookin battery 😂:more inconspicuous 🤙🏽 Awesome ridim path, that drone footage is nice, follow mode works so well, you should do a "follow" up video on it 😂 avoids the trees so well! Like a much more expensive drone.

[@e-VRC]

Hehe it's like the Engwe bike you liked. Suspension sounds the same too 😂 yeah the drone is awesome. I did do a skateboard video entirely filmed by the drone but I should do a full review really. I might if they bring out a side follow feature.

[@usamahashmi6969]

Hello Evrc, great video as always. Can you please recomend me some bike with great range that i can use for deliveries. Thankyou

[@e-VRC]

Thanks! How fast do you need to go? I have a video coming out today. That bike is great. Pvy z20 plus 1000 also. Lankeleisi x3000 max is a fast option with rear rack. How much you looking to pay?

[@Apostate-51]

Was looking forward to your full review of the Lankeleisi 3000 Max but now that I’ve had a chance to evaluate the new EV laws which have just come in here in Ireland, I reckon this could well be my best option. Your Sandy Lane Hill Test might be the decider. Excuse me if the following are annoying newbie questions (I have no experience whatsoever with e-bikes :-)) but for now, what I’d really like to know about this bike is.. 1. Can you use the walk assist without having the throttle attached to the handlebar? 2. Can the full 80nm of torque be used when limted to 25km/h and without having the throttle attached to the handlebar?

[@pvyebike]

Let me explain it to you: 1. The factory installed grip is without accelerator, you can use pedal assist mode. Throttle handle is an extra gift, it is up to the user to choose whether to install it. 2. If the throttle handle is not installed and the speed limit is 25km/h, it is not unlocked and the torque will be less than 80Nm.

[@paulmills1605]

Lad, any update on full review. I have seen the one done in the rain. I'm considering buying two, but would wish to see a depth review from a reliable source, eg You. Also PVY, hy30 is not a great discount to celebrate 2 years. Engwe have a few hundred off their range of bikes. I can buy 2 L20's with them for 1500.

Hi thank you for the video. Is it worth buying over Z20 Pro for only riding 10 km per day ?

[@e-VRC]

The z20 pro is a decent bike. If you're only going that far then it might be worth saving your money and getting the Pro. The max is a nicer experience on the whole and if you ever do need to go further then it will. So it just depends on how much you want to spend.

[@biswadipmajumdar444]

e-VRC - I was really waiting for this bike to be reviewed.... Please post more stuffs about this. Does this ebike go in a throttle unlocked mode more than 25kms? does it have a horn? and a usb charger? Also as per the PVY site the torque is 80 n.m. Is that true? that's more than that of engwe engine pro 2.0 then.... Also what is the size of the bike when folded, the measurement in the site is 51mm width while folded, that's too big for a bike of this kind. If you can confirm... Then I can think of buying it.. So, happy that you posted this video. I was trying to lookup for a video of this from last few days... :) Also post the video for the new model of FIIDO M1 Pro, which has launched recently, not the old spoky model, which is getting sold cheap in the sale in the USA. Europe has the newer version, but, not sure if I can fit a rear rack in that... so, am considering this PVY one.

[@e-VRC]

Hey. It does unlock. I believe it has a horn and pretty sure I spotted a usb charger. As for torque I'm not sure but I'll take it up the Sandy Lane hill climb for the review so we can directly compare it to the other bike's times.

[@giorginho7mobile]

​@@e-VRCnice! I didn't want to get the pro because of its shortcomings, so I bought a 2nd plus 1000. However, size-wise, this would have been the o e I'd have gotten as my second... Had I waited another month before ordering. Unfortunately at the time nobody told me something like that would be coming, I mean they had just released the libon and the other fat "plus-lookalike" bike, so who would have thought they'd be releasing another one within a month? Anyway.... Love your vids!

[@e-VRC]

[@nesliving89]

Hi, nice review and thanks for all the informations. I would like to ask you if you recommend the bike for a person that is 1,85 and 110kg ( Knowing that can carry up to 150 kg) . Another question is: leaving in apartment and not having garage where to keep the bike it would be necessary to carry the bike time to time up to the first floor and knowing that the bike is around 27kg would be annoying and unpleasant? The use of the bike is only for vacation on the seaside. Thanks a lot, I would be very appreciative for the answer.

[@e-VRC]

You're only a bit heavier than me so should be fine. I had the saddle pretty low too. Not sure I'd choose this for a vacation bike though especially if you're constantly taking it up stairs. You could remove the bottle battery to help with weight maybe. The much cheaper z20 pro may be more suitable?

[@nesliving89]

Thanks for the answer, about carrying the bike fortunately it will not be too often but maybe 2/3 times in a month. About the z20pro I don't like that doesn't have torque sensor...and seems to me more cheap quality then the Z20 max .

[@e-VRC]

@@nesliving89 yeah it's definitely cheaper quality TBF. If it's just a few times a month then the z20 Max will be a decent buy.

[@nesliving89]

Great 👍🏼😃 probably I'll go for it! Any coupons with some discounts? Thanks again for the advices .

[@hokitojas1985]

Could you please check, if the Z20MAX internal battery fits inside the Z20PRO?

I don't have the pro any more but I doubt it as the pro battery had buttons that stuck out the side of the frame when in the bike.

Hi, Unfortunately, they are not compatible.

[@carlwelch10]

Im guessing the negative was the rattling from the handlebars possibly?

[@polpettaucci6657]

Question: would this bike be a good choice for climbing on mountain roads - not dirt roads, but still (sometimes very) steep mountain roads - for 10 to 15 kilometres at a time? Would the PVY Z20 MAX go uphill without a problem, or would it be difficult and I would have to put in a lot of effort? I can't decide between this bike and the Engwe L20 SE (and the Engwe L20, to be honest)... Thank you e-VRC and thank you to anyone who will help me :)

[@e-VRC]

It really depends on how steep. The hill in the video is easy with pedalling. A bit steeper than that it would still be pretty easy. You don't mean actual 15 km hills do you? That may over heat the motor or controller. I guess you might mean that if it's mountains. Similar story with the L20. Not tried the SE. I don't like how it looks though.

@@e-VRC Thank you for your answer, I'll think about it ;) Sorry about my english (I'm italian) I meant that I would ride it for 10 to 15 kms while climbing mountain roads.

It is equipped with a torque sensor, so if you only use the pedal assist mode, you can also ride easily. 🤝

[@beastlysnetwork3503]

Can it work without the other battery like the top battery

[@pvyebike]

Of course, there is also a battery inside the frame, and they can work independently. If only one battery is used, the battery life will be reduced.

[@reebikadas01]

How to unlock the top speed? Is it P08? Will it get unlocked for the throttle mode? I tried setting 50 for P08, but still getting 25km/h for the throttle. Am I doing something wrong? I tried many times. Does not work.

[@pvyebike]

Hi, Please contact official support and the staff will give you a solution.

[@SamuelSegat6314]

You can try this procedure to unlock: Turn off the power first, then press and hold the brake grip and turn on the power again (please keep pressing the brake grip for 12-14 seconds), then release.

I - the rider-owner - want to decide when I need power not have "pensioners' pedelec" pedal-assist kicking in all the time. It also increases range if ebike-riders can activate power only when we need it or want it using only the throttle with no interfering PAS / pedal assist!! Paul G

Hello PVY Firstly, I would like to inform you that the two days established for picking up the battery at my residence have already expired. However, I would urgently ask you to send me another battery, until we resolve the problem with this one. I bought this bike for work and I'm currently being greatly disadvantaged, as there is a lot of demand for deliveries now with the arrival of the cold weather and unfortunately I need to tackle the mission much earlier than desired, and that's why I miss out on a lot of opportunities to make money, been able to support myself, pay rent and save some. It's been 4 months of a lot of inconvenience, it would be the least you could do for me, which is to send another battery urgently, until someone actually comes to pick up this broken one here. If you can't help me, I won't be able to wait any longer after October, and I'll ask you to refund the amount paid immediately, so I can buy another one right here in a physical store. Please, I am once again kindly asking you to help me, once and for all. This purchase with you was a bad deal that is shaking my mind and causing me depression and a lot of headaches. There is still time if you act correctly, coherently and punctually, thus preserving the name of your brand. Help me this time, sending me the battery as soon as possible, new in the box with charger, and I will still give positive feedback to PVY on social media.
