Everyone likely knows about Forbidden - Druid CorE : Forbidden Bike Company

Here's what I was told by them about availability: "We are making under 1,500 this year (that's total for LitE and CorE) for our entire global network and most shops that have them on pre-order have already taken customer deposits.. There won't be many (if any) sitting on shop floors. Keep in mind these won't actually start shipping until August and will go out in small chunks to our dealers through November."

The Unno Mith is the other one that was recently accounted that everyone was talking about on here. I’m sure we’ll start seeing several more in the next 6-12 months, people seem to really be liking the system, they seemingly didn’t make a complete flop with this first dabble in e-bike drive systems.
 
This youtube has a nice summary of the ones we know about


Availability seems pretty different in each region. In the UK you can demo an amflow and buy and recieve it in a month or so, unno/forbidden seem to be sold out from people buying blind

Eurobike is next month, I guess we might know more after that but I've not seen any solid rumours for other brands.
 
If you're in the UK and are after an Amflow without placing a deposit, keep an eye on TeamCycles - they don't take deposits/preorders so it's first come first serve, and they get a shipment once a month.

As long as you're happy mail ordering online not from an LBS, of course.
 
If the distribution in the US kicks off as expected I bet we’ll see some cool new options from some US based companies in the near future as well. A DJI powered Yeti would be something to launch them into relevance in the e-bike market, but that’s just a pipe dream…

Yeti is releasing a TQ powered SL bike on Tuesday.

Yeah I’ve seen that one that’s coming, SL bikes feel dated at this point, anyone know they plan to release an updated full power bike as well? Seems like Bosch would be the obvious choice for them at this point if so.
 
Confirmed ebikes

forbiddenbike Lite / Druid
Unno
Megamo Reason
E-lite
Teewing Bikes
Model 25 GT – gravel

In addition to those confirmed, there are rumors/speculations about other brands.

YT Industries
Mondraker
Commencal
I hadn’t heard about YT, a bike like the Decoy with a DJI drive system would sell like hotcakes.
 
Add Orange Bikes to the list. Sounds like they'll announce at EuroBike
 
lots of rumours of stuff to be announced, would be great if some have stock ready at launch
 
Crusis with a nice offering and good pricing
3 months ago I never imagined I would ever thought that a Crussis ebike can look so much nicer than a new Levo ...

The cheapest full sus Crisis could almost be treated as a frame only to make your own decent build at that price.

Interesting times.

It's also way faster than many other EU companies like TQ (or Mahle for that..). That's somewhat impressive list, add YT/Canyon/Propain/etc eventually.. and it's fully mainstream. Will probably kill most smaller players like Fazua.

I'll take this with a pinch of salt as everyone is waiting for the big players to join the DJI bandwagon. Was curious with Eurobike to see something but only more obscure brand.

Definitely. I was really wishing to see a new Yeti 160e with the DJI.
 
I think a DJI based Orbea wild could be a possibility, just because they refused to change their frame to accept the 800Wh bosch bike this year. So their next iteration needs an updated frame if they want an 800Wh either from Bosch or DJI.

If they get rid of headset cable routing at the same time, I would be very tempted.

The frame was changed for sure, the mounting points from Gen4 and Gen 5 are different , hence new molds .
 
Yeti is much more of an obscure brand than Commencal. Especially if you are from Europe.

But yeah, I was kinda hoping for Mondraker...

Not as obscure as some of those brands that came out with the DJI at Eurobike!

That's what I thought, but someone on this forum said they could likely have reused the existing molds with a small modification to accommodate the new motor mounting points (and revised shock mounting). I'm no expert though!
