I admire your commitment to persevere through that rain. I reckon on a dry day you'll get a better time up that hill. Nevertheless impressive hill climb ability for a 250w.
Thanks for the review, it's very useful to me because this bike is one of my possible choices. What I miss from the video is what's up with the support for the bike and accessories, what is the long term ownership cost? I heard bad things about these topics and I'm not sure if I should buy this bike or some other, more established brand. 🤔 Any thoughts?
Hey man do you have an estimated date for when the PVY Libon review will drop? I’m very interested in seeing if the 500 watt version can be restricted to 250 watts and/or has a removable throttle. Thanks!
This bike is looking nice but im thinking of picking up the ADO air 20 pro for my journey to work, have you had good experiences with ado or heard anything good about them?
I hope PVY gave you the nod to make this video because they are finally going to fulfil orders I ordered this mid May with a beginning of June delivery estimate then it was the 10th June then 20th June then 30th June then 4th of July then the 12th July so as I say hopefully your making this video as they are finally going to start shipping tomorrow
@@Phallenuk Have you found out how to unlock it? I saw a German video and he was explaining it and I had English subtitles on so it was not great and hard to follow but I did catch he managed to get the 30mph once unlocked. I have not found much info on this bike even this video says it can be unlocked without telling us how I am in the UK seems to be a problem getting the bike in the UK in the EU seems to be ok now after a similar delay
@@Maverick247 Hold the left brake and turn on the bike, keep holding for 10-15 seconds. The PO8 setting doesn't seem to do anything. Also the rear hub has no power ratings visibly printed on it. When I changed the freewheel to a 11-28 I found the rating hidden behind it. I do wonder if the CZcams reviewers were sent faster prototypes. I could be not fully unlocking it, something in the settings I missed maybe. It is a nice bike though and fine for my usage but my version is not 30+ mph.
Generally if you can get some high view videos then they'll contact you. Don't put the bike name on the thumbnail put a selling point and a clearer pic without the same headshot on each. However if you're contacting them, let them know what videos you're willing to make for them: unboxing, review, various tests. They like lots of videos.
@@e-VRC Thanks for your reply. I bought one a few weeks ago mainly on the strength of your previous review and looking at reviews of other e-bikes and I’m happy with it apart from the derailleur gears have stopped shifting altogether which I need to get repaired. Other than that it’s been no problem.
@@e-VRC thanks for your reply. I need it only locked to be legal. Our streets here got 25% gradient. My scenario is: To work: 2miles downhill, 1 long stairs, 40min train, 3 miles flat street And all the way back home these way. And this 25% uphill is killing me after work. It should be not to heavy because of the stairs. Max 25kg. I m 100kg with 1,73m. Strong but not very sporty.
@@Sk1llBrEaKeR based on what I've tested maybe the Pvy z20 plus 1000 as it comes locked to '250' but really it's more powerful but the website also says it's 250w.
Mine does not start up without the bottle battery. I also noticed that the bottle battery did not charge when I put the charger in the frame plug. Is this normal?
@@MrHornisse yes, mine will work fine without the extra battery, however it has to be charged seperately. Unless the key position has something to do with it. What position did you have the key in to charge both batteries together, please?
By the sound of the video you prefer the Engwe E26 for the build quality? Just ordered the E26 which in the UK is £1300 wonder what your thoughts would be compared
I'd go with the E26 if budget was no problem. More expensive but there's nothing I don't like about that bike. Apart from maybe you don't need the key to run it.
Love your commitment despite the weather ❤

lol I was out in that on my Keteles K800, got completely drenched! Great vid as usual mate!
Cheers. That's commitment to the open road 👌👍🤟
i want a torque sensor that is set extremely high, so i get all the power at a light torque.

@@Mr.Craftastic I'll be doing a comparison with this bike in a couple of weeks. Proper review will come later. You can do those things though 👍
When in rain you should clear the camera lens when riding. And are you using both batteries at the same time, as you're not explaining this?
@@davep8361 I had the same thought when I watched it back 🤦
BIG UP WOLVES
*That weather* 😭😭
That bike frame 🤩🤩
Real world spec 😪😪
I need to do it more often tbh and not be scared of it. Not like it's a board.

Ordered mine 14th May. Got it 1st week of July. It's good but definitely won't do 30mph. 24mph max.

So it's illegal on UK roads
They have classed it as 250w so if the bike is locked as it is when it arrives and the throttle is taken off then it's legal
Does the bike utilise both batteries or is the bottle battery for when the main battery is flat?
@@KimSenior that's a good question. I'm not 100% but when both are connected and have power they usually act as one high capacity battery

For me the Ridstar beats Engwe, and this one into a cocked hat
I've just put together the Ridstar Q20 pro. Looks great. Hoping to ride it this weekend.
Not real weather .....shite weather!
