• Warning!!

    Riding a tuned or deristricted EMTB is not a trivial offence and can have serious legal consequences. Also, many manufacturers can detect the use of a tuning device or deristricting method and may decline a repair under warranty if it was modified from the intended original specification. Deristricting EMTB's can also add increased loads for motors and batteries. Riding above the local law limit may reclassify the bike as a low-powered bike, requiring insurance, registration and a number plate.

    Be aware of your local country laws. Many laws prohibit use of modified EMTB's. It is your responsibility to check local laws. Ignoring it, has potential implications to trail access, and risk of prosecution in the event of an accident.

is it in fact true that u can use a phone vpn to simply set the dji system to new zealand location? if yes will it just hold that setting? does the system have a gps within it that it can use to determine its location on its own?

if yes will it just hold that setting?
Yes. The bike uses the phone's VPN region when you pair it to the bike, to set the bike's region. It doesn't use the GPS.

Once paired, the bike will hold that region, unless you unpair it from the phone, and re-pair it, with the phone connected to a different region.

Discussion of why you would do this, should only be discussed in the Amflow de-restriction thread.
 
Why would anyone want to do that 🤔☺️
Because its FUN! I can't think of another reason to ride this thing... outside of fitness and a good workout.

The pairing to NZ does derestrict speed--I got up to 32mph! However, at least in the US, you cannot enable cloud services via the 4G SIM card. I had to pair the bike back to a US server to get the cloud services to work.
 
Why do need cloud to go for a ride ?
Edit serious question!

I’m assuming it’s a “nice to have” rather than a “must have”, but if I remember correctly it also has some inbuilt features that only work if connected to the network (GPS navigation?)

The main benefit of the cloud services is tracking your bike if it’s stolen. It also automatically uploads your ride data to Strava. If I find I need more than 20mph on the trail I can always derestrict to NZ for a few days.
 
I had an initial installation with the New Zealand region to remove restrictions. But it seems when installing a SIM card of my region, this initial installation was crashed.

you are lucky in the UK we are restricted to 15mph, Kin sketchy when it cuts in leading up to a jump, I might try to get USA but unsure what else it would effect? also not confident to do it
 
Just been looking at my i phone,it's 2023 SE,and in settings/general and language and region i have reset it to the US, i haven;t unpaired and re-paired yet,does anyone know if this will work or will i get locked out or something? no VPNs involved(whatever they are?) all i know is in about 2017 i had a Trek powerfly and i put a badass box on it and it worked a treat,sold that got a Whyte put the box on it gen 4 Bosch,it worked for a while until it didn't,had to pedal a 60lb bike 5 miles back to the car in limp mode! so i need to be sure this time, once bitten twice shy etc etc
 
Sim. A bicicleta usa a VPN do celular quando você o emparelha com a bicicleta para definir a região dela. Ela não usa o GPS.

Uma vez emparelhada, a bicicleta manterá essa região, a menos que você a desemparelhe do telefone e a emparelhe novamente, com o telefone conectado a uma região diferente.

A discussão sobre os motivos para fazer isso deve ser feita apenas no tópico de desbloqueio do Amflow.
Olá, como é possível fazer o downgrade do firewall para versões anteriores na bicicleta Avinox?

You need to use a VPN.
 
I’ve ordered an Avinox-powered bike in Australia. I’m planing to use USA, HK or NZ location (via VPN) for a reasonable top speed (thanks for the instructions!).

I’d also like to use a SIM for the additional security. Is it a 100% guarantee that this will undo the false location? I’ve obviously read that this is the case for some, but wondered if it’s hit and miss.
 
I live in the USA and am running the NZ VPN and a SIM card. However, I did have to repair to NZ after installing the SIM. I have been running trouble free sinve then (12 months ago).
 
Private land use is an actual valid reason. Im lucky enough to own acres of hilly land
I believe there should be a legitimate and legal way of doing this in these cases.
Whilst it doesn't affect me (being from the Lord's own land - NZ), I do see how people using these on private property and home-built trails would need to circumvent the local programming to make them fit for use in their own circumstances.
