What people ask about the PVY Z20 PRO
How much does it weigh?
The PVY Z20 PRO weighs 22.2 kg. That is light for a folding e-bike. You can lift it, but it is not a feather. Compare that to the median weight of 28.6 kg for its type.
How much torque does it have?
The motor delivers 50 Nm of torque. That is exactly the median for folding bikes. It is enough for moderate hills, but not for steep climbs. The motor is a hub motor, which is common at this price.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class. The top speed is 25 km/h. That means it assists you up to that speed, then stops. It has no throttle, so you pedal to move.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims a range of 80 km. Our estimate is 27 km, with a band of 24 to 31 km. That estimate is 66% below the claim. The estimate comes from a formula, not a test. You can adjust assumptions with the range calculator.
What does it cost to run?
The price is 846 USD, which is 21% below the median for its type. Running costs depend on electricity and maintenance. The battery is small, so charging is cheap. Use the cost calculator to see yearly costs. The warranty is not listed, so factor that into your decision.
Where it falls short
The biggest weakness is the battery. At 374 Wh, it is 44% below the median of 672 Wh. That directly cuts the estimated range to 27 km, which is 44% below the median of 48 km. If you need to travel farther, you will run out of power.
Who should buy it
This bike fits riders who prioritize easy carrying and short trips. It is not for long-distance commuters. It is for someone who lives close to work or a station.
- You need to carry your bike up stairs or on public transport.
- Your daily ride is under 20 km and you can charge at work or home.
- You want a folding bike that is cheaper than the median.
Look elsewhere if you need a long range. A bike with a larger battery will cost more but go farther. Also, if you cannot charge often, the small battery will frustrate you.
