It's been close to two months since I have the PVY Libon: a beautiful folding e-bike promising remarkable range and quite decent feature pack at a super-tempting price!
As usual - I've put the bike under my usual kind of thorough testing, and have unfortunately stumbled accross some alarming facts. There have been certain issues related to the motor, and the way PVY have addressed these are somewhat worrying.
I have no clarity whether it is about a specific batch, or affecting only a small amount of units.
The rest of the bike is for sure well designed and deserves your attention! So check out everything that I've discovered about it.

Very comprehensive review, thank you for your work. I previously purchased a Z20 PLUS from PVY, Great shopping experience, although I encountered a little problem, But customer support is always very responsive and helps me out. So my impression of PVY is pretty good. I've also been eyeing the Libon and thinking about buying one for my wife, Your video is very real and not all praise. This is what I want to see. I believe that no product is 100% perfect, I will continue to pay attention to this model, When the goods arrive and these problems are resolved, I would buy one.🤝

Thanks for the comment, Rob. I also have had great experience with the previous PVY bike that I've had. Fingers crossed that no one else will be affected.

Great video Michael! Thanks for posting an actually useful review that demonstrates the positives and perhaps more importantly, the negatives of these cheaper ebikes. Too many KZfaqrs are biased in their reviews and don't properly test the bikes or expose their flaws before gushing praise on the product, often because the manufacturer has sent them the bike for free.

@TechMishka 21 күн бұрын

I feel that the KZfaq community is often blamed for biases, and for sure such kind of things exist. But ... If we think about the regular media that most people trust... I can assure you that (undisclosed) conflicts of interest are way more shocking. Many folks are rushing their videos because of the algorithm. Some are simply careless. Some - with very low ethics standards. I try to be as transparent as possible, and as helpful as possible. And am really glad to see quality comments like yours - it is the best kind of reward. ♥️ As for PVY - I hope they will step up.their game with quality control and communication.

This bike promises plenty, 1500euro Indiegogo campaign for the Dual battery at 18.5kg is an interesting proposition but it looks pny still has some quality control to improve thus making, at least, the initial batches a bit risky investment. Thanks for letting us know of your experience and drawbacks

Very well agreed. PVY have a lot of good potential if they prioritize honesty.

Hi, very impressive review! I want to ask you what you were thinking about choosing the pvy libon or engwe P20 ? It will be mostly used for summer vacations in the city, while not having at garage where to keep the bike I want to be able to carry the bike in to the apartment when needed. What do you recommend me ? Thank you.

@TechMishka 18 күн бұрын

I was about to keep the P20 if it had suspension. The review about it is ready, and will likely go live in 2-3 days. Send me a note (email) if you would like to see it in advance. The PVY bike is more advanced about some features, but the Engwe model feels more polished. Both offer very similar riding experience. PVY Libon was perhaps somewhat more comfortable.

hm. quality control on the indigo releases I suppose , the hope here is that somebody chimes in that bought direct & current releases QC is addresed. I mean, PVY r shipping direct to retail at the time of writing *was pulling the trigger todays date but yeah no, -quality control on a 250w suggesting 50nm /25-30kph - sounds potentially underpowered/ overclocked ?! who knows ?! idk. hopefully somebody chimes in Thank for the review ✌️

@TechMishka 19 күн бұрын

👍👍 We'll wait and see. PVY are confident that their motors are totally fine. I feel that there will be problems in the coming months. My comments in their Facebook page got censored too 😔

Can you turn on the lights using the bike battery or the light has its own battery?

I also hesitate between "PVY Libon" and "ADO Air 20 Pro", both are new and there is hardly any user feedback.

@@ismaenbici I received my ado 20 pro, lovely bike, no complains whatsoever so far… I just needed to tight the seat post and I will go to a bike shop to align the brake pads. My commute that used to take me 40 minutes by foot+metro, now takes me 20 minutes by bike alone. The automatic gear change is brilliant and the motor is strong. And I am a bit overweight, so the load I put on it is perhaps a bit over the weight limits on the specs, even so the motor handles me fine uphill without overheating. It helps that the gear allow a better transfer of power from the pedal to the wheel at high speed

Hi, Thanks for the very great review. I really think about to buy this bike, in comparison with Fiido D11 or x But I have 4 question what I couldn't figure out in your review, maybe you can answer this. - Because of the weight. The 16kg was without second Akku, but with the Seat Akku? - How is the peddal frequency when you drive around 20km/h. Ok or already super high? - Small climbs (with around 5minutes) shouldn't be a problem? - Is it also easy posiible to remove the Seat Akku Cheers Marc

@TechMishka 7 күн бұрын

I'd stay away from Fiido because if their horrendous support. The weight is 18.5 with 2 batteries. Pedaling is OK at 20km/h. At 25 it is a bit weird. Climbing is fine even for prolonged time if they have fixed the minor issue that I had with my motor. You cannot remove the seat battery.
