In the PVY E-BIKE community, every rider is fueled by a passion for cycling. They eagerly share their experiences, suggestions, and feedback, all while driving the innovation and development of electric bikes. We call them PVY riders, and their stories are always inspiring. Today, we have the privilege of stepping into the world of PVY rider Mike and listening to his journey with the PVY Z20 PRO.
Which PVY model do you have?
PVY Z20 PRO
How would owning a PVY E-BIKE change your lifestyle?
It has allowed me to leave my car on the outskirts of the city and cycle the last few kilometres to work.
How long have you been riding and is this your first ebike?
I've been riding a bike for about 45 years and 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?
Strength of the frame and wheels (I'm a heavy guy), price and ease of use.
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'm a teacher who commutes from the countryside to the city by car. Owning a Z20 Pro has allowed me to leave the car on the outskirts of the city and cycle the last few kilometres. This saves a fortune on parking fees, the stress of finding a parking spot and time spent queuing to get into and out of the city. I love riding the Z20 Pro on the city cycle lanes - especially passing all the traffic jams which I used to have to sit in. I get to school stress-free and ready to start the first lesson with a smile!
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?
Ebikes are an essential part of the mix needed to lower air pollution in cities. The fewer commuter cars the better. They help people bridge the gap between parking a car outside the city limits and covering the final few kilometres to work. What's more, they're much safer than scooters and a folding bike is so convenient to transport and store.
What has been your greatest or most memorable adventure with your PVY?
Definitely all the other amazing cyclists I get to chat with at the traffic lights. I've also had so many compliments about the Z20 Pro and have recommended the company and bike to anyone who asks.
Anything else you would like to share about your PVY or your experience with it?
I'm just really grateful for such a great bike, the reliability, great service from the PVY support team and overall how easy the bike is to maintain.
