PVY Turbo-charges its Z20 e-bike with fat tires, dual shocks and more powerful battery

The latest addition to the PVY Z20 e-bike series has less of an urban, yet still foldable, build compared to its predecessors. It is touted as their more "powerful" sibling with a 48V battery, compared to 36V in its MAX sibling.

Accordingly, it is rated for up to ~62 miles (or 100 kilometers) of range, and to get up to its 15.5 mile per hour (or 25km/h) standard speed with the 80Nm torque sensor missing from its PLUS and MAX siblings.

Then again, its actual rated capacity is 13Ah, compared to up to 25.6Ah for the dual-battery MAX; in addition, it still has the same 250W motor and ~331lb (150 kilogram) payload as its other Z20 siblings.

Nevertheless, it is now the only member of its family with 20x4-inch tires, and also benefits from 7-speed Shimano gears, a full-color LCD display and an IP5X headlight.

The PVY Z20 Turbo has been released to pre-order in Europe thus far at a price of €1,199, or €1,099 with the code TURBO100 for a limited time. Meanwhile, the comparable Himiway D3 Cruiser has been released to Amazon for $1,199.
