PVY Z20 Plus review: An inexpensive and powerful e-bike with great features bar one major flaw

PVY Z20 Plus review: An inexpensive and powerful e-bike with great features bar one major flaw

Powerful fully-equipped off-road bike. The Z20 Plus is PVY's new foldable bike which is also supposed to be suitable for off-road use. We observed: The model is comfortable to ride, but it could run into some legal issues depending on where you are based. Update: Do not purchase PVY bicycles. They are not EN 15194-compliant and thus not legal to ride in the EU. Returning one will be difficult to do, too.

PVY Z20 Pro review: Convincing, extremely affordable and foldable e-bike with potential for improvement

Very cheap and well equipped. With the Z20 Pro, the manufacturer PVY offers a new foldable bike with an electric motor at a really competitive price. Our everyday test shows that the manufacturer delivers a strong overall package, but the low price requires compromises in several areas. Update: Do not purchase PVY bicycles. They are not EN 15194-compliant and thus not legal to ride in the EU. Returning one will be difficult to do, too.
