PVY purports to solve a number of last-gen e-bike problems with the new Libon, namely those related to awkward, heavy frames, motor noise, maintenance and range anxiety. The e-bike is equipped with an up-to-date carbon belt and a full-aluminum frame in order to address these issues, and also boasts a "multi-function" IPS display. Its single- and dual-battery SKUs are now available as crowdfunding rewards.

PVY's latest e-bike has finally been unleashed onto Indiegogo today (April 3, 2024). The Libon has been revealed to have 2 versions: Single Battery and Dual Battery.

The former has just 1 36V/10mAh battery hidden in its seatpost, whereas the latter has the same, but also packs a second 36V/10.4mAh pack in its folding frame. Accordingly, the Libon Dual Battery is rated to get up to 2x the Single Battery's estimated 130-kilometer (km, or ~180-mile) max range.

The Single Battery SKU is rated to weigh 16 kilograms (kg, or ~35 pounds (lb)), whereas the Dual Battery version has just 2.5kg (5.5lb) more mass. Either SKU is cleared to bear a payload of up to 150kg and to go at up to 25km per hour (~18 miles per hour) out of the box.

The Libon Single Battery has been released at a Super Early Bird Price of $1,299, whereas that of its Dual Battery counterpart is $1,509, or up to 42% off its eventual retail price.

PVY asserts that it will start shipping either SKU directly worldwide from May 2024, and has already gathered just over $21,500, or ~43x its original $500 goal, in backing on the first day of its campaign thus far.
