We’re super excited that the Amflow ebikes have finally arrived! These are one of the best electric mountain bikes available in the world currently. They are extremely light and responsive and feel as close to a regular mountain bike as we’ve ever experienced – apart from the awesome power boost.
These bikes are the first to come out with the motor from DJI, the world’s biggest and best known recreational drone manufacturer. They’ve named it the Avinox system, you can read all about it here. It’s a light weight, relatively high power mid-drive ebike system. The motor weighs 2.52kg and is capable of bursts of 850W peak power and 105 Nm continuous torque.
The battery is integrated into the down-tube of the frame and comes in two configurations of 800Wh and 600Wh, weighing 3.74 kg and 2.87 kg respectively. For the extra 1 kg, it’d be highly recommended to choose the higher capacity battery for the 25% extra riding range. There is a fast charger so that you can charge to 75% capacity in 1.5 hours.
The display sits above the top tube of the bike with function toggles on both hands. It’s a bright display that is touch sensitive and displays information including speed, distance, gradient, torque, estimate range, motor power and cyclist power. You can ride it in various power modes. These are auto, eco, trail and turbo. In any of these modes you can hold the toggle button down for around a second and it will enter boost mode for 30 seconds to give you maximum power.
Of course there is an app. It connects via bluetooth and allows you to customise various parameters, unlock the bike, see riding statistics, map your ride and access bike diagnostics. You can also put a SIM card into the bike to allow GPS based bike tracking.
There are currently only two models available. They are both Carbon and use the same frame, battery and motor.
