How would owning a PVY E-BIKE change your lifestyle?
I have started enjoying the outdoors again. I have benefited from the exercise and the freedom that owning a PVY bike has given me. It has actually changed my life and fitness levels for the better.
How long have you been riding and is this your first ebike?
Since June 2024 and yes this is my first ebike.
What was your motivation or rationale to get an ebike and what were the most important factors in your consideration or selection process?
My primary motivation for getting an e-bike was to increase my physical activity and spend more time outdoors. The most important factor in my decision-making process was finding a bike that offered excellent value for money, which led me to choose a PVY e-bike. Its combination of affordability and quality made it the perfect fit for my needs.
How do you use your PVY bike - commuting, running errands, fitness, recreation, or all of the above? Tell us how you enjoy your ride.
I primarily use my PVY e-bike for fitness and recreation. I intentionally chose a model equipped with a torque converter because I appreciate the more natural and responsive feel it provides during pedaling. This feature enhances my riding experience, making every journey both enjoyable and effective for staying active.
Have you ever met up to ride with other PVY owners?
Unfortunately no.
What are your thoughts about the role of cycling and ebikes in a more sustainable future?
I believe e-bikes provide a practical and accessible solution for individuals who want to cycle but may face challenges with traditional, unassisted bikes due to physical limitations, terrain, or other reasons. By offering a hybrid option that combines pedal power with electric assistance, e-bikes make cycling more inclusive and sustainable, encouraging more people to adopt eco-friendly transportation while promoting healthier lifestyles.
What has been your greatest or most memorable adventure with your PVY?
The very first day I cycled my new PVY Z20 Max. It had been 40 years since I had last used a bike and the sence of freedom I felt with the wind in my face brought my right back to my teen years. It was truely joyous !
