An all rounder with great tech
After so much of reading online reviews and YouTube videos, finally ordered PVY Libon. The main reasons for this choice is that i needed a folding ebike that offers good mileage per charge and powerful motor. Not a fan of cadence sensor so PVY works great on that front with a wonderful torque sensor. I wasn't particular about chain or belt, but it comes with belt drive and that is so so free from clutter that usually the chain involves. Ride is very nice with ample pick up, which surprised me. It easily takes you to top speed of 25km (legal limit in the UK) within seconds. The only limitation is if you want to speed up the pedal ghosts and makes it difficult to surpass 25km even with manual effort. I haven't tried unlocking but the int'l version leta unlock the motor to achieve 500w high speeds of more than 25km. The bike is small enough to fit in the boot of a car when folded and can easily carried on a tube if one wants. Battery has enough juice for long rides. I went for dual batteries and it gave me around 90km on both batteries together, on a road with a mix of flat and slopes - which is really good in my opinion.
Overall, a great bike and I would heartily recommend.

Robust build and handy tech
I ordered the PVY Z20 max after a lot of online research, reading reviews and watching YT videos. Most of the ebikes are made in china and almost all of them are similar technically and lookwise. What makes PVY Z20 Max standout is the additional removable battery, which doesn't look ugly or like an alient element attached to the bike. It looks natural like a water bottle attached to the bike.
The customer service is quick to respond to queries re delivery etc. I got response even during weekends.
It was an easy and quick 15 min job to set up once received, as the bike is consigned pretty much preassembled. Just needs to fasten the bits and bobs.
First impressions - the torque sensor is awesome, you don't feel like pedalling at all and it kicks off instantaneously. The menus are basic and the colour screen is really good, offering various information. Braking is perfect, with the hydraulic discs.
It comes with normal handles and with a cut off at 25km to comply with EU and UK laws. This can be easily overridden ( refer to online YT videos) and with throttle fixed (supplied as standard) it takes the experience to another level. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Room for improvements: (1) saddle adjustment is limited and the catch seems to loosen a bit at times. (2) 7 gears and still not adequate. The gear ratio appears to be too small and even tlat 7th gear I need to peddle too fast to achieve higher speeds.
Overall, I am quite happy with the purchase and with the experience the bike offers. Hope it lasts long - only time will tell.
