Hello, The issue seems to be solved by only using the Amflow or the gps with their respective apps as suggested by Wahoo support. The advice is to not use directly the bluetooth settings in the phone parameters.

Under normal environmental conditions（between 0°C and 40°C）, it is generally not necessary to turn on the control display for the PL Carbon to charge and show the remaining time. We recommend ensuring that your bike's firmware is updated to the latest version. If you require further analysis, please feel free to contact [email protected] and provide us with the logs. We will be happy to check for any anomalies.
Just bought Amflow Pro, everything updated. iPhone 15Pro latest iOS. All permissions to app granted. Standing next to bike with the phone and yet alarm is triggered. Looking at BT settings the bike is disconnected. So it does not auto connect it seems. Have to cancel alarm through passcode on the bike. Also Strava authorization error - do I have to use the same email for both amflow and strava accounts? Otherwise terrific bike.
hi,
i know it's not really AMFLOW support related.
But Avinox system being already near perfect (wireless control, touchscreen, app, unrivaled smart progressive assistance, slim battery) AND Since most brands are too busy to keep up failing to match enduro geo + slim battery + packed motor + ultra smooth, progressive, and reactive assistance ... I write my suggestion here !
next AMFLOW emtb i'd like to buy (enduro) :
- 170 or 180/180 mm traval
- SAVEMYSHOCK geo / kinematics
- Dual crown compatible ?
- Mx wheels compatible (and full 29 too through flipchip, like the AMFLOW PL)
- Frame kit option ?

Yes, it's indeed possible to install a SRAM Eagle AXS and power it from the main 800Wh battery, even on the non-Pro version. We recommend following the manufacturer's official guidelines for shifting kits to ensure optimal performance. You'll need to replace the rear derailleur, shifter, chain, and cassette for the installation.
Please note that the GX system uses an HG freehub body. If you're planning to upgrade to the X0 electronic shifting kit, you'll also need to switch the freehub body to the XD specification.

Thank you for choosing Amflow! You can use your phone as a Bluetooth key by enabling Mobile Key Unlock. Additionally, you can choose Disable Temporarily in the theft detection feature to avoid any accidental alarms. When it comes to connecting your Avinox account with Strava, you don't need to use the same email address.

Hi!
I regret to inform you about the poor performance of the Avinox GNSS head module in interference conditions.
I have recently devoted a lot of time to this problem and can now definitely say that the GNSS head module obviously uses "old" civil satellite signals L1. For several years now, navigation chips have been mass-produced that also use the civil aero-navigation signal L5. The combined use of two signals (multi-band mode) allows for a significant increase in detection speed, positioning accuracy and (most importantly) interference immunity.
In connection with the military events that are currently taking place in various parts of the world, various electronic warfare systems have begun to be widely used in many countries, including radio suppression or spoofing. This is especially relevant for large cities, in areas where military bases or vital facilities are located. As a result, GNSS based on the use of single-band modules either stopped working correctly or work very poorly, unstable. I can include the Avinox GNSS module among such devices.
For example, in the area of my training, modern Garmin and Wahoo head units work accurately and stably (despite radio interference). Whereas Avinox draws a chaotic line instead of a track and often loses the navigation signal altogether. OK! It would be possible to use Garmin or Wahoo bike computers or sports watches to record tracks, but for some reason you do not provide the ability to connect bike sensors to external bike computers via ANT+ or BTE.
That is, the entire functionality of the Avinox control unit turned out to be useless and non-functional. This is a very disappointing fact. The system is closed in itself and does not work properly in difficult electromagnetic conditions. I can't even download the fit/gpx file from your system. A complete dead end.
I think that without replacing the Avinox head unit it is unlikely that the GNSS receiver can be improved. But maybe it is possible to open access to the bike sensors to connect bike computers? This is the most anticipated update that everyone is waiting for.
Thanks.

There is one more remark about the work of Avinox geo-tracking. Even if geo-tracking works, the sampling frequency of marks is low. Garmins (not only this brand) have a standard rate of 1 mark per second. As a result, the track is drawn in detail and accurately. Avinox gives 1 mark every 11 seconds. As a result, the track is rough, distorted, small sections are not drawn, sharp turns are are beveled. As you understand, the heart rate, cadence, speed and power readings are averaged with the same rare rate. Who came up with such rough sampling for such high-speed equipment as an e-bike is a mystery.

My new Amflow bike suddenly developed this scratch noise inside the frame when I push the dropper post lever. Sounds like the cable is scratching against something inside. If I need to remove the seat post to look, what are the procedures for that? As I cannot see the cable guide, do I need to loosen that as well.
You need to slacked the cable guide bolts in the frame (2 of those are the water bottle mounts), the user manual shows you how to do this and the torque to re tighten them to. You can then feed the dropper cable in from the level end whilst pulling up on the seat post to raise/remove it. All pretty standard stuff for any bike with a dropper. The user manual is really good and clear on the steps.
Be interested to hear what you find - mine does this also but has done since I had it, so I assumed it was working correctly.
I am thinking of buying a spare battery for overnight camping trips but I am unsure if it's feasible to drop the motor and replace batteries when required and how long it will take. I regularly do this on my bosch motor because of engine mounting bolts coming loose and its probably a half hour job

The seat post works fine, it was just the squeaking noise quite annoying. Took out the dropper post and checked. It was found that the spring at the bottom of the seat post was squeaking every time it was stretched. Put some grease there, then no more noise. One thing to pay attention is to remove the lever from the mount and undo the screws for the cable guide before pulling out the seatpost. You need to pull the cable quite a bit to get the dropper post out completely.

Thank you for your answer, I fixed that at last.
Thanks - I wonder if that’s the issue I have. When I get a free weekend I’ll give that a look, thanks!
Be sure to loosen and then re tighten the cable clamp bolts. If you don't loosen them you will be forcing the cable through the clamp, one of the reasons the amflow doesn't rattle at all is that they have nice features like the cable clamp which prevents and cable rattle in the frame. So be sure to tighten it backup (to the correct torque)

Thank you for taking the time to provide such a thorough explanation of the challenges you've encountered with the Avinox GNSS head module. We understand the importance of reliable performance, especially in environments subject to electromagnetic interference.
I have forwarded your feedback and observations to our engineering team to verify the supported frequency bands. Your input about the potential benefits of multi-band capabilities, like the use of L5 signals, is very insightful.
Additionally, we acknowledge your suggestion regarding access to connect bike sensors with external bike computers via ANT+ or BLE. Your feedback is invaluable, and we are recording this as a significant feature request for consideration in future development.

I understand that 5-second intervals may not provide the resolution needed for accurate segment timing. If you have any screenshots of the related ride files, please share them with us. This information will be invaluable as we work on optimizing the app to better meet your needs.

Unfortunately, we can't sell batteries separately. And you'll possibly need hex wrenches and special tool to remove the motor and the battery on the Amflow PL. Nonetheless, I’ll make sure to note your riding situation for our higher-ups to consider offering more solutions for different riding scenarios down the line.
Thanks
That looks reasonably straight forward but it won't be a whole lot of use to me if I can't purchase a 2nd battery. What is the reason for this? Also when I fly with an ebike the battery must be removed first. The battery is able to be couriered in advance via land mail
Cheers
Nice, like just how well down the battery is. Feels a very well balanced Bike. 800 miles in and completely fault free. Thanks for bringing this Bike to market, it’s takes EMTBing to a whole other level.
Dear friends,
Спасибо за ваш отклик. Вы пишите про 5-секундные интервалы. Я не имею доступа к исходным gpx-файлам Avinox и был вынужден скачивать оригинальный файл из Стравы. Там я увидел интервалы 11-12 секунд между отметками. Но даже 5 секунд это недопустимо грубый интервал для е-байка. Рад, что вы в контакте с группой инженеров, я думаю они понимают наши озабоченности. Спасибо вам!
I have 36/120 and B like the app says and it works god=)
