PVY Z20 Pro Evo – Is This The Folding eBike You Have Been Dreaming Of?

New Release Alert!

PVY is releasing a new folding eBike called the Z20 Pro Evo. This eBike starts shipping mid to end of April 2025 depending on your location. So what’s new with this eBike and is it for you? Let’s find out!

PVY Z20 Pro Evo

Ah, commuting, isn’t it grand? Whether it’s for work or play you need to get somewhere but how? For those of us who like to get out and experience the fresh air of the outdoors, commute to work using green sustainable methods, or want the ability to get quickly from point A to point B without walking, the PVY Z20 Pro Evo might be the eBike you have been dreaming of. This eBike blends convenience, power, and style that caters to both urban and off-road adventures.

Performance

How do you balance power and creating an eBike that folds and can easily be transported in a car, bus, or train? The answer is some creative designing! The Z20 Pro Evo comes equipped with a 250W brushless motor (unlockable to 500W) which provides quick acceleration and strikes a nice balance between power, size, and weight. In addition, this motor provides enough torque to climb a 15 degree grade which is plenty for commuting or a little off-roading.

Torque Sensor

For those of you who are new to eBikes, there are two main types of sensors that tell the eBike if you are pedaling. The first type is a cadence sensor which works by detecting the speed at which you are pedaling. This type of sensor creates a delay in triggering the electric assist and sometimes adds assist when you don’t want it to. This leads to a less natural feeling while riding and can be frustrating when the eBike gives you a boost when you don’t expect or want it. The second type is a torque sensor. The torque sensor measures the amount of force you are applying to the pedals so it knows exactly when you are pedaling and how hard you are pedaling. This type of sensor eliminates the delay and starts assisting immediately when you start to pedal. The Z20 Pro Evo incorporates a torque sensor which I believe is a huge selling point for this eBike as it provides a nice smooth and natural electric assist when you pedal.

Battery Life

Given that this is a folding eBike, it needs to be transported which means the battery needs to be small to keep weight down but have enough capacity to keep the eBike going over a long distance. The battery within the Z20 Pro Evo does exactly that. This eBike is equipped with a 36V 14.5Ah battery which equates to 522W of power. The combination of this battery and the motor provides a range of up to 80 km (50 miles) on a single charge. This range is a balance between pedal assist system (PAS) mode and throttle mode. If you want to go heavy on the throttle and light on the pedaling, your range will drop slightly to 50-60km (31-37 miles). However, if your goal is to pedal and just use the PAS mode the range extends to 120km (74 miles) which is impressive. If you need to commute a long way to work, the battery charges in 5 hours so you’ll be able to charge during work and get home without any kind of range issues.

Speed

Speaking of throttle assist, what is the top speed of this folding eBike? Max assist speed is listed at 25km/h (15.5 mph) which lands this eBike in the Class 2 Type of eBike given that it has both pedal and throttle assist. The Z20 Pro Evo comes with 7 gears allowing a nice range of gear selection depending on the speed and terrain you are riding.

Comfort

Now that we know this eBike can climb hills, get you from point A to point B, how does the eBike feel? PVY incorporated front suspension with a fork shock that provides a more comfortable experience while riding over bumps along the way. In addition, this eBike comes with 2.5″ wide tires that adds additional shock absorption. Comfortable and ergonomic grips keep your hands feeling great as you ride.

Safety Features

Being safe while riding is always important and the Z20 Pro Evo eBike incorporates some safety features to help on your adventure. The eBike comes equipped with mechanical disc brakes which provide confident stopping power. Also, front and back LED lights keep others around you aware of your location and if you are slowing down or stopping.

LCD Display

The Z20 Pro Evo eBike includes an intelligent LCD display that shows data like speed, battery level, and distance traveled. There are three riding modes to choose from, Pedal Assist, Full Electric, and Manual Pedaling, which allows you to select the right setting for your needs.

Who Is This eBike For?

Now that we know all about this eBike, who is it specifically made for?
