I am curious about the name of the company, I like the design and consider it as a top contender as a choice with its appearance, overall value, and drivetrain. I do find myself agreeing with a post I saw regarding the brand : "Teewing Turbo Force- Teewing is a terrible name and that would be covered with a wrap or sticker right away."

So my question is regarding the choice of the company name and what it represents.
 
Looks an intresting bike, but imo once the more established Brands like the makers of the Donkey bike get hold of the Dji power unit, who is going to buy these lesser known Brands.
 
Interesting for a first release to be sure.
Why are the names so hard to get past?!?! It’s sooo weird. They don’t matter in any way…….yet🥸

My opinion on these seemily great first frame releases……… first release frames…….?
is solely based on 2 things..
Long term test report
(Breaks/wear/failures)
Manufacturer Support
(How fast can I get back riding, at what cost?)

Competition makes everyone try a little harder👍🏻

I feel like supporting domestic company’s is worth the extra cost for me, I bought the Santa Cruz Bullit in Aug, very happy with it.

Apologies for the off topic post, Yes, a very popular international company... Santa Cruz Bicycles is owned by Pon Holdings, a Dutch conglomerate, and are mainly manufactured in Taiwan and China. The assembly of Santa Cruz bikes, especially for higher-end models, might still happen in the U.S. or at specialized facilities in Europe, depending on the model and the market.
 
From the Intrawebs, i know nothing else, except I had confirmed there is a long travel version on the way, but was told not till next year.

I hate to be the outlier here but it just looks like another generic,4 bar link emtb.I can’t see any virtue in choosing this over anything else.
It works well ,but most bikes do these days,it doesn’t look different or special but few do these days.
I’m not knocking the bike ,really ,I genuinely don’t have an axe to grind here but what does it have over it’s competitors ?
The problem is that I can think of a handful of other bikes I would choose and this one wouldn’t make my top 50.
Sorry

Good question! Ultimately the Teewing has the elements in place to be successful. How would you compare a number of the features with for example a very popular bike, Specialized Levo as follows:

Bike total Weight

Drive train size / power / reliability / weight

Battery size / weight

Frame / appearance - girth / how current the design is “contemporary”

Value (price - performance)

So the question becomes what sells bikes and why would one of the two outsell the other. Is it the fundamentals of the hardware / performance or the goodwill and marketing of the company?

Or… is it the ability to sell the sizzle and not the steak.

I agree the elements are in place Ndanger,I just don’t think it’s special enough.I can’t utilize the full potential of my own bike so podium finishes and attracting top tier riders doesn’t affect my buying decisions.
I genuinely wish them luck,let’s face it enough brands are struggling or have disappeared lately.
Aesthetics play a part and you’re right with the steak analogy.
I wouldn’t trade my own 4 year old bike for it,I just wouldn’t.
Or maybe the latest greatest and hyped stuff just doesn’t impress me as much now.
All the best

It is just generic 4 bar bike, I don’t think anyone is overly excited about the frame design. But it was the first sensibly priced option outside of the Amflow to get into a DJI motor system, that’s why people are excited.

Fair point Rabbit,I still don’t think the power unit has proved itself yet.I hope it does.
In another post I responded to a question (might have been here) that asked how long does it have to work for it to prove itself,I answered that it has to last trouble free for the warranty period and at least two years on top of that,which would make it only as good as my four year old EP8.
Any motor good or bad can last a year.that doesn’t prove anything.
The thing is ,it seems a lot of people are keen to point out that it is the most affordable Avinox equipped bike which is true ,but the spec’ isn’t that great and a lot of new owners seem to be talking about upgrades almost immediately.
Which to my mind defeats the point of it being the most affordable.
Again only my opinion,I hope they are a huge success,I remain to be convinced,it’s just too new
All the best

I think most people just can't leave well enough alone, I see people buying the Amflow pro and immediately swapping out parts on those which seems crazy to me, it’s already top spec as is?

I am currently having a Teewing built and was lucky enough to source a frame only (which may not be available going forward?), it will be spec'd much like the amflow pro but will come out considerably cheaper. Will post up a review and my thoughts once I get it.

I don't consider myself a avinox fanboy and really had my sights set on something else but the price I could get into a teewing for I thought would be worth a try. The frame is also very similar to what I am used to on the Trek Fuel ex (analog bike)

Hello rider,You’re right,they can’t leave well enough alone,I think the best way to go is build your own as you are doing.
I have nothing against anyone who likes a particular bike (i’ve never liked the term “fanboy”) though it does seem to fit some guys who buy into the hype without question.
I wish you well with your build.

That is what I’m seeing as well. Sorry but these bikes are basically generic and copies of other designs. I commend them for being so solid on their first releases but once the novelty wears off it’s just an EMTB with the DJI that everyone is drooling over. If these bike came out with Shimano motors no one would even be talking about them.
 
What’s special about that bike? Looks like it’s an ebike from 2015? Could that BB area actually get any fatter?
