TWO Great Long Range Ebikes. But which is the BEST? PVY Z20 MAX vs PVY Libon
The dual battery PVY z20 MAX can do 200km but the Prototype PVY Libon can do 260km but is it actually better despite it’s greater range and price? This is the battle of the long range electric bikes from PVY, which ebike will be victorious?

Which bike would you get if you had to choose? Let us know in the comments.
Libon has more a commuter look and Max generally looks more cool
🤟🏽⚡️🤙🏽
Nobody wants a stressed out motor 😭 hard enough gettin stressed out as a human 😂
I like 1 v 1 comparisons 👌🏽👌🏽
I bought the ADO Air 20S to take on holiday as PVY let me down with their constant pushing back of their delivery dates for the MAX. I have them both now I would get the Air 20S (international version) over the Lisbon it is more or less a copy of it anyway, but the ADO has been out a while and has no kinks and is a fine bike, I love riding it.
The MAX has been a bit disappointing its torque sensor is nowhere near as responsive as on the Air so much so I use the throttle a lot. Also what a crazy Idea to only have the throttle working on power level zero only. I hate that. My suspension on the MAX is not as bad as yours pretty good actually but the key position to switch on the bike could not be in a more awkward position. Also there is no way the MAX has a 750W motor unlocked or 80NM either, I have an Engwe E26 70NM and 750W and it blows the MAX away. I am a heavy rider on power lever 3 (have chosen 3 over 5 levels in the settings) I get 20 miles on the Bottle battery only and 30 miles with the frame battery 50 mile total.
I’m amazed to see the max appears to have a rusty cassette, or is it just an illusion from the camera?
I'm happy with my bike.
I've had my Max for about 4 weeks and done 300+ miles. This is my first ebike so I've nothing to compare it to. The torque sensor seems pretty instant to me.
My suspension seems okay and much quieter than yours. The battery clonks a bit inside the frame so I've shimmed it and its quiet now.
Using the throttle and PAS 3, I get 20ish miles on the bottle and 30ish from the main battery, so same as Maverick247. Top speed is max 24mph PAS 3 and max 20ish with throttle, and that's after changing the freewheel too a 11-28.
Personally I've now removed the throttle and just pedal, unlocked it cruises along between 17-22mph nicely, and that suits me fine.
Check the bolts, my side stand fell off. Lol.
I bought the PVY Z20 MAX, so far so good.😊
have you ever considered doing a DIY build and then making a video comparing it to similarly priced pre-built ebikes on the market?. I think it would be pretty interesting as you can get a chinese rear hub for next to nothing these days.
