PVY Z20 PRO EVO Folding Electric Bike

50Nm of Electric Power

The Z20 PRO EVO might be compact, but it certainly isn’t short on punch. Its 250W brushless geared hub motor produces up to 50Nm of torque, giving you plenty of assistance when accelerating away from traffic lights or tackling those less-than-flat UK streets. The torque sensor also makes a big difference to the riding experience, measuring how hard you’re pedalling and delivering motor assistance accordingly for a more natural-feeling ride.

Go Further with a 14.5Ah Battery

Range anxiety? Leave it at home. The Z20 PRO EVO packs a 36V 14.5Ah battery, with PVY quoting up to 120km of range in pedal-assist mode and up to 60km using electric mode, depending on riding conditions. The battery is removable, so you can take it indoors for convenient charging rather than having to park your entire bike next to a socket. Temperature, terrain, rider weight and riding style will all affect real-world range.

Folding Design, Full-Size Fun

The clever thing about a folding electric bike is having the freedom to take your bike places a conventional e-bike simply can’t. The Z20 PRO EVO folds down for easier storage and transport, making it a great option for commuters with limited storage, motorhome and campervan owners, or anyone who doesn’t want a full-size bike permanently taking over the hallway. At 22.5kg, it isn’t featherweight, but that weight comes with a proper 120kg load capacity and a robust 6061 aluminium frame.

Torque Sensor + Shimano 7-Speed

This is where the Z20 PRO EVO feels more like a traditional bicycle than some budget electric bikes. Its torque sensor provides responsive motor assistance based on your pedalling input, while the Shimano 7-speed drivetrain gives you plenty of gearing options for everything from flat city streets to steeper climbs. Three levels of pedal assistance let you choose how much help you want from the motor, so you can ride with as much or as little effort as you fancy.

Built for Real-World Riding

PVY hasn’t stopped at the motor and battery. The Z20 PRO EVO comes equipped with a front suspension fork, 20 x 2.125-inch tyres, mechanical disc brakes, front and rear lighting, mudguards and a rear rack as standard. The adjustable stem lets you fine-tune your riding position, while the integrated rear light improves visibility when you’re riding after dark. It’s the sort of equipment list that makes sense for an e-bike you’ll actually use every day.

Your Bike, Your Route

The Z20 PRO EVO also connects to the PVY Smart App, giving you access to features including live ride data and navigation. There’s also a walk-assist mode of up to 6km/h, which can be particularly useful when manoeuvring the bike away from the road or pushing it up a slope.

Why Choose the PVY Z20 PRO EVO?

The PVY Z20 PRO EVO folding electric bike is all about versatility. It gives you the convenience of a folding bike without feeling like you’ve had to compromise on the things that matter when you’re actually riding.

Whether you’re looking for a folding electric bike for commuting, a compact e-bike for an apartment, something to take away in the motorhome or simply a practical and fun way to get around town, the Z20 PRO EVO is ready to fold, unfold and get moving.
