- This Electric Bike will go FAR! PVY Z20 MAX First Ride
Here is the PVY Z20 MAX - an ultra long range folding ebike from PVY. With it's 2.3 inch wide tyres this is an alternative to the Fat tyre ebikes with lesser range. The PVY Z20 Max has 2 batteries which give it such a big range. But also it has a torque sensor which means you'll be helping out though you won't be breaking a sweat.
This is an unboxing and first look at the new Electric bike from PVY. A full review will come later.

Can we get the full review now please?
You got me interested in the pvy z20 plus 1000 . I brought it and never looked back ... proper beast 💪.. great review
When will there be a new video with the PVYZ20 Max?
Please sell me one of your used ones that you received.
Need one for a big heavy fella that needs to get healthy again
Follow my FB marketplace page. I don't list many at a time but one might pop up that you're interested in. The Onesport OT16-2 from a couple of videos is on at the moment
Hi, I heard Z20 Max was for small size persons < 180 cm and Z20 pro was for tall person is it true ?
I'm 185cm and thinking the same question.
The Z20 MAX supports riders with a height of 150-200cm.🤝
What's the name of the drone you use? Great review btw!
Thanks. It's the Hover X1 in this video. There's a link in the description.
I'm surprised they didn't make the second bettery the saddle post type....
Rear shock in way
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. I haven't yet until I've seen evrc's latest full review
@@paulmills1605 yeah the one in the rain is the review
I think the bike is very nice, even with the water bottle 😅 when will you take a video with a full bike test? thanks
Should be in June 🤞
So do you have to wait for the big battery to run out before the bottle battery to kicks in?
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)
Impressive. I'd be interested to see if I can get that too 🤞
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 !
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 :)
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. But yes, it would problably be a problem for the motor... I don't really know what to do and what to choose, because I'm pretty short, and I have to choose a bike that fits me :/
Thank you for your first look video
I live in sweden and I am going to buy a PVY ebike.I am stuck between two models ( PVY Z20 max or PVY Z20 plus )
I dont know wich model is more suitable for Sweden. Base on weather specially in winter wich one is better?
You have tasted both.I think you are the right person that I can ask🙂.
I use ebike for commuter not offroad.
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.
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.
@@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!
@@giorginho7mobile thanks. Yeah I knew they were releasing a Max but I had no idea what it was until I opened the box. I was expecting an even better plus 1000
Hello, have you reviewed the fafrees f20 pro by any chance? Thanks.
What’s the drone your using thanks Martyn 😊
Hover X1 I've put a link in the description
@@e-VRC thank you
how is the suspension. Does it really cushion?
@@infatum9 it's decent but loud. My last video was the review of this bike.
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?
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.
Hey ! Love your videos dude you really got me into e-bikes
Can local viewers buy these bikes off you ?
Thanks for watching! Yeah I don't have room to keep them all so many go on FB marketplace afterwards.
I wpuld like to buy this@e-VRC
@@e-VRC Hey thanks for replying ! Can I buy the Duotts C29 off ya if possible ? I live close to around Walsall and can come pick it up
@@Lil_electrician sorry it's already gone
@@e-VRC hahahaha fair play
*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.
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.
Can you deactivate the unwanted, intrusive darned pedal-assist and ONLY use the throttle and/or can the PAS wires be physically disconnected? If not I ain't buying one. 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
If you don't want to pedal, you can use throttle-only mode.
Looking forward to a review. It’s either this or the plus I’m looking at currently to buy..
@@PHastaLaVista review by next Friday 👍
Hello Evrc, great video as always.
Can you please recomend me some bike with great range that i can use for deliveries. Thankyou
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?
thanks for the vid since you already gave it a first spin, Iam just wondering if the throttle will work from zero without using the peddles?
Yeah it does
Does the frame battery can be removed easily? To put the bike somewhere and charge the battery somewhere else as a routine!
@@fatemehakoochekian easy enough. However it's not done in a few seconds like some bikes. With practice maybe 30 seconds but you need space to bend the bike.
Thank you. 30 seconds is fine and I guess I have enough space in our apartment bicycle room and in my workplace parking 😅
@@fatemehakoochekian this bike is my next review which should be out next week. I'll time myself doing it for the video if it helps.
That would be great. Thank you 👍
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.
Hi, Please contact official support and the staff will give you a solution.
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.
looking forward to the full review
So did you do a full review on this bike mate
It'll be in 2 videos time.
@@e-VRCThanks for the reply buddy, I'm ready to pull the trigger on this but I really want to see how it goes up that hill compared to the engwa x which seems a very heavy fold bike by your video, anyway enough of my rant lol I will just hang on for your verdict , I do like the dual battery tho because I will be traveling far 👍
Well....I've bought one.
I wanted range to commute as it's a 40 mile round trip.
It's flat where i live and there's lots of cycle paths.
It folds and can be taken on the train.
I didn't want fat tyres.
I now wait....
I would buy one too. But they are not available till early June. I don't want to pay
for the bike, only to be told, it will be available in late June, then July. When you
put your money down, you are commited to wait for them to deliver. I like to have
seen them in stock. Because in the meantime, I might have found an alternative
@@DeathCab4Cutie Thank you for your support, the stock will arrive at the warehouse soon.
@@pvyebikeDid you get them in stock, I bought one yesterday, I don’t mind waiting but I would be happy to know if it’s going to be around 1/2/3/4 weeks so I have an idea
@@slimbo689 Still waiting. been 5 weeks now.
Well I only ordered yesterday so if it's been 5weeks there are obviously a lot of people waiting before me so now my concern is you get a bunch in stock then they all get delivered to people añd I'm waiting on the next delivery, it's a shame I might have to cancel because I ordered 6 accessories as well
Hi. I have just received my MAX and have unlocked it by increasing the P settings but it still appears limited to 25kmh on the throttle. Do you know what I may be doing wrong? Cheers
I'll take a look tomorrow and get back to you
@@e-VRC thanks but I have managed to sort it. Full power baby!! 😀😀
@@robertbrooke1289nice one. I had a play, did you hold the brake for 15 seconds when turning it on?
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.
Can you roll it around when folded?
Whats with all the clunky sound in the forrest
@@josh786manchester review out tomorrow. I mention that at the end.
Hi thank you for the video. Is it worth buying over Z20 Pro for only riding 10 km per day ?
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.
@@e-VRC Thank you !
i wouldn't trust that thing to go to the end of my driveway🤣
Haha why?
Can it work without the other battery like the top battery
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.
Great preview looking forward to your full review I am thinking of pulling the trigger on this to add to my ebike collection I have a Eliglide T1 & Engwe E26 love them both, but want to add a folding bike with plenty power and range at 80 NM that is more than than the E26's 70 NM if true
It will be interesting to see if the Max can beat the e26 up the Hill
@@e-VRC I can understand why you have not done the full review yet I bought it on the 20th May using your discount code (thanks) was told it was on back order begining of June now that has slipped to the 10th of June going on Holiday 29th of June and want to take it with me hope it arrives in time (Edit now UK expected arrival 20th June)
@@Maverick_247Did the bike arrive in time
@@slimbo689 No Mate I paid for it in mid May they said delivery beginning June then 10th June then 20th then 30th as I was wanting it to take on holiday on the 29th I asked and got a refund ordered the ADO air 20 would rather have had the MAX but the ADO is coming tomorrow no point in taking orders and peoples money if you have no stock. I think this is why I can only two reviews on you tube
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.
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?
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 .
@@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.
Great 👍🏼😃 probably I'll go for it!
Any coupons with some discounts? Thanks again for the advices .
I want only to ask you if the bike has the App control like the pvy libon or not ?
What is it like to peddle without assist?
It is equipped with a torque sensor, so if you only use the pedal assist mode, you can also ride easily. 🤝
Can i just say the drone is V impressive
Agreed it's amazing. If it could follow me from the side it would be almost perfect. Coming soon apparently 🤞
Fiido L3 pro or this
Not tried the Fiido
Im guessing the negative was the rattling from the handlebars possibly?
The rattling was from the suspension and mudguards
Please don't worry, the screws are adjustable and the noise will disappear after adjustment.
From the mudguards
@@e-VRC I assumed the rattlng was your phone-stick on the bars.

Yeah would be nice to have the option of just 1 battery.
You do have the option of just 1 battery and it’s cheaper and as far as the battery on top looking ridiculous, well if I’m sat on a park bench and that thing comes flying past me I’d just presume it’s a water bottle and I’d probably be to busy looking at the rest of the bike anyway.
You have such a powerful bike and you don't test hill climbing capabilities???
