Which PVY model do you have?
PVY Z20 MAX
How would owning a PVY E-BIKE change your lifestyle?
It allows me to leave my car in the garage.
How long have you been riding and is this your first ebike?
I learned to ride a bike when I was 5, and I'm 60 now. No, this is my second e-bike.
What was your motivation or rationale to get an ebike and what were the most important factors in your consideration or selection process?
The fast is that my bike has electric assistance and that it is more pleasant.
How do you use your PVY bike - commuting, running errands, fitness, recreation, or all of the above? Tell us how you enjoy your ride.
For everything, as long as I can do it by bike.
Have you ever met up to ride with other PVY owners?
No.
What are your thoughts about the role of cycling and ebikes in a more sustainable future?
Only good. With the car, you move about 1000 kg of scrap metal, with an electric bike only about 25 kg. So you use mess energy.
What has been your greatest or most memorable adventure with your PVY?
My daily life.
