Introduction: Why a 29-inch E-Bike?
The electric bike market is exploding, and users are coming up with increasingly specific needs. While compact, foldable models solve urban portability, “29” (29-inch wheel size) e-bikes target a completely different user group. These bikes are all about stability, comfort, and efficiency over longer distances. The PVY M29 falls into exactly this category, but tries to push the boundaries of the category.
The biggest advantage of 29-inch wheels is that they roll over obstacles much more easily. Whether it's a pothole, a curb, or the roots of a forest path, the larger wheel diameter provides a smoother, less bumpy ride. Plus, once you've got going, they're better at maintaining speed, making longer commutes or hikes more efficient. The PVY M29 takes this basis and supports it with an electric assist that compensates for any slower acceleration due to the larger wheels.
Power Source: 250W Motor with 500W Potential
A PVY M29 The heart of the bike is a highly efficient rear hub motor. On paper, this is a 250W motor, which is fully compliant with road traffic regulations in most European countries. This 250W of power is perfectly sufficient for city commuting, flat terrain and gentle climbs, while taking the hard work out of pedaling.
The real interesting thing, however, is the “unlockable” performance. According to the manufacturer’s data, the PVY M29 The motor is capable of a peak power of 500W in software. It is important to emphasize that this is recommended for use on private land or in accordance with local regulations. This extra 250W makes a dramatic difference: acceleration becomes much more dynamic, and steeper climbs are no longer a drag on the bike. The PVY M29 With this dual capability, it can be both a rule-following commuter and a powerful off-road companion.
In addition to raw power, torque is also key. 50 Nm of torque is a respectable figure for a hub motor. In practice, this means that the PVY M29 It accelerates strongly even from low speeds, such as at a red light, even on hills. The G-DRIVE Dual Control System ensures that this power delivery is smooth and efficient, optimizing the coordination between the motor and the battery.
The Secret to Long Range: The 48V 17.5Ah Removable Battery
If the motor is the heart of the bike, then the battery is its lungs. The PVY M29 stands out from the crowd in this area. The 48V, 17.5Ah lithium battery embedded in the frame is gigantic in this category. If we calculate, this means an energy storage capacity of 840 Wh (Watt-hours), which far surpasses the 400-600 Wh batteries of most entry-level and mid-range e-bikes.
What does this mean in practice? Range. A lot of range. The “120KM Max Mileage” value given by the manufacturer is in the lowest assistance (PAS) mode, under ideal conditions (flat terrain, low body weight, calm wind). During real use, on mixed terrain, using a stronger assistance, this value will naturally decrease, but the 840 Wh capacity guarantees that a 60-90 km tour requiring dynamic cycling can be accommodated without “range anxiety” arising. The PVY M29 It's clearly designed for those who don't want to bother with the charger every day.
The battery is also removable. This is an extremely important practical advantage. You don't have to carry the entire 26 kg bike to the socket. Just turn a key and you can take the battery with you to your home or office to charge. With the included 54.6V 2A charger, a full charge takes 6.5 hours, according to the manufacturer, which is a realistic time, optimized for overnight charging, considering the huge capacity.
Robust Construction and Comfort: Frame, Wheels and Suspension
A PVY M29 The frame is made of iron (steel). Although this contributes to the net weight of 26 kg, which is not a small amount, we get two things in return: extreme durability and natural vibration damping. Steel frames are known for absorbing minor road irregularities better than their stiffer aluminum counterparts, which increases the feeling of comfort.
The robust construction is also supported by a maximum load capacity of 150 kg. This means that the PVY M29 It can confidently handle heavier cyclists or average-weight users with a significant amount of luggage (shopping, hiking equipment). This can be a real “workhorse” in everyday life.
The aforementioned 29-inch, 2.125-inch wide tires complement the frame perfectly. The large size and moderate balloon design make the bike both stable and comfortable. PVY M29To ensure complete comfort, the bike has a “Lockable Suspension Fork”, a lockable front telescopic fork. This is essential on poor quality roads or terrain, as it absorbs larger impacts. However, when riding on smooth asphalt or uphill, the fork can be stiffened with the “lockout” function, so that our riding energy is not wasted in unnecessary suspension.
Steering and Safety: Gearbox, Brakes and Controls
A PVY M29 It relies on a proven solution for mechanical power transmission: SHIMANO's 7-speed rear derailleur system. On an electric bike, where the torque of the motor helps, 7 speeds are more than enough to find the ideal pedaling speed in every situation, whether it's slow climbing or fast riding.
Stopping is done by mechanical disc brakes at both the front and rear. Although not hydraulic, disc brakes still provide a much more reliable and powerful braking effect than traditional V-brakes, especially in wet, rainy weather. For a 26 kg bike with a potential load of up to 150 kg, this is a basic safety requirement.
The assistance can be controlled in several ways. The PVY M29 It uses a “Cadence Sensor”. This monitors whether the pedal is turning. If so, the motor delivers power corresponding to the selected assist level between 0-5. It is a simple and predictable system. The data also mentions levels of 10, 17 and 25 km/h, which probably refers to the lower speed-limited PAS levels.
What is a real convenience extra is the presence of “Throttle Mode”. The PVY M29 It also has a throttle, which allows you to ride without pedaling, just using the engine power (like a scooter). This can be incredibly convenient after a long day or when you need to quickly get out of an intersection.
Smart Features and Useful Accessories
A PVY M29 didn't skimp on modern accessories either. An “IP66 Colour Display” is located on the handlebars. A colour display is not only more aesthetically pleasing, but it is also easier to read in bright sunlight. The IP66 rating means that it is completely protected against dust and is not damaged by strong water jets, meaning that even heavy rain is not a problem.
The bike also supports the “PVY” mobile app, which suggests Bluetooth connectivity. This is likely where we can track our rides, fine-tune settings, and perhaps unlock the motor’s 500W output.
The lighting is outstanding. The IPX5-rated, 1200-lumen front headlight provides almost motorcycle-level brightness. This PVY M29 It is fully suitable for riding in the dark, even on unlit roads. The package also includes plastic mudguards (a must for commuters) and a tool kit for basic assembly and maintenance. The entire bike is IPX4 rated, meaning it is protected against splashing water.

Frequently asked Questions
Q: What exactly does the 250W (500W unlockable) motor mean?
A: A PVY M29 The motor has a nominal power of 250W in its default setting, which complies with EU pedelec regulations (with a 25 km/h assist limit). With software unlocking, the motor can deliver a peak power of 500W, which allows for higher speeds (32 km/h) and better acceleration. Its use on public roads is not legal in all places.
Q: Can the PVY M29 really go 120 km on a single charge?
A: 120 km is the maximum manufacturer-tested range that can be achieved at the lowest PAS setting, on flat terrain, under optimal conditions. With real, mixed use (e.g. hills, higher PAS setting, throttle use), a more realistic range of 60-90 km is more realistic, which is still an excellent value for an 840 Wh battery.
Q: How heavy is the PVY M29?
A: The net weight of the bike is 26 kg. This is due to the steel frame and the large capacity battery. It is not a light bike to carry upstairs, but the motor compensates for the weight while riding. The removable battery (which weighs several kg) helps a lot if you do have to lift it.
Q: What is a “cadence sensor”?
A: This is the basis of the assist system. The sensor detects whether the pedal is turning. As soon as you start pedaling, the motor turns on and delivers the power you have selected, regardless of how hard you are pedaling. Unlike the more expensive torque sensor, this provides more of an “on/off” assist that is easy to get used to.
Q: Is the PVY M29 legal to use on public roads?
A: In its basic settings (250W, 25 km/h assist limit) the PVY M29 In most EU countries, it can be used on public roads as a pedelec (pedal-assisted bicycle), without a license or insurance. However, using the 500W mode and using the throttle (propulsion without turning) can classify it as a moped, which is subject to different rules.
Q: How long does it take to charge a 17.5Ah battery?
A: According to the manufacturer, a full charge (from 0 to 100%) with the included 2A charger takes approximately 6.5 hours.
Q: Can I use the bike in the rain?
A: Yes, a PVY M29 It has an IPX4 rating, which means it is protected against splashing water from all directions. This can withstand normal rain or driving on wet roads. The display (IP66) and the lamp (IPX5) are even more protected. Do not clean with a strong jet of water (e.g. a high-pressure cleaner) or immerse in water.
Q: What is the braking system like?
A: The bike is equipped with mechanical (Bowden) disc brakes at the front and rear. These are stronger and more reliable than V-brakes, especially in wet weather, and provide adequate stopping power for the weight and speed of the bike.
Q: Can I use the throttle without winding?
A: Yes, a PVY M29 It has a “Throttle Mode” function, which allows you to move without pedaling, like an electric scooter.
Q: What is the advantage of 29-inch wheels?
A: 29-inch wheels roll over bumps and roots more easily due to their larger diameter, which results in a more comfortable ride. They also maintain speed better on flat terrain, so they can be more efficient over longer distances than smaller, 26-inch or 27.5-inch wheels.
