The one you said was new before for under 3k, was a used scam. They still go for 4-5k.
Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

My Amflow PL Carbon Pro was produced in Aug 2025. I now have 1,700 miles primarily riding rocky terrain in the desert southwest. I have not changed anything except tires, new sprocket and a new chain, everything else is stock. Thankfully I have no cracks on the seat tube and I suspect if it hasn’t happened by now it probably won’t (I hope).
And for the person who thinks you can buy a well kitted M1 Amflow for $3K, I have a bridge in Az I’d like to sell you
. Everyone wants an Amflow but none are available, so trust me if someone has an M1 in great shape they will get WAY more than $3K.

I don't think you'll have any problems. The defect was found in later units.

So, what is the Amflow failure rate? Now I have serious doubts about buying this bike
I doubt those figures would be available
the internet tends to make failures seem more prevalent than they are
there are FB posts DJI Amflow Owners | So what's the consensus on the cracking seat tube | Facebook
and youtube posts and legal posts Amflow PL Carbon EMTB Frame Cracks Reported: High-End Bike Poses Serious Injury Risk | Farzan Law
I think he's an importer in the US - I just linked a few places where ingutushuy could look for comments on failures...

Well, yeah, thx for the reply. So i decided to order this bike anyway. I hope that this issue has been resolved and I will enjoy riding it greatly. And I'll rely on my dealer's assistance if anything happens.

Hi, I collected information and found that there were also problems with other sizes. But people also say that this is a small number of failures compared to the huge number of bikes that have been produced.

So far 
my Large PL from N+1 does not have the crack.

The manufacture date on my PL Carbon (size L) was July 15, 2025 - so far, no cracks.
The cracks were discovered in later batches. The first mention was in late 2025. So, I don't think there's anything to worry about in your case.
I keep a cheap spare EMTB, for exactly this situation. If riding is that important to you, that you cannot do without your EMTB. You should do the same.
If you really can only afford one EMTB, and you cannot go without it for short periods. Then unless there was a well stocked dealer mins from home. You shouldn't have bought an Amflow. There are lots of EMTB brands with really fast turn around on repairs. Amflow, in all cases, will not be like this. They are mostly an online presence. Even the dealers mostly have to wait for emails to be replied to, then parts sourced, before they can organise warranty repairs.
My Amflow had the screen go blank. The rest of the bike worked fine. I've put it into my dealer which is 25km away. But I'll still be without it for a few weeks. As long as the bike is repaired, no problem, as I have the spare EMTB.
In my region, it doesn't matter—there are no manufacturer offices at all. So the brand doesn't matter.
I also don't have a lot of space to store bikes, and my family already has three bikes (one for my kid and a hardtail). So keeping two EMTBs isn't an option for me right now.
The situation with Chinese brands is simpler than with European ones due to logistics. Many brands also have more customer-focused policies than Amflow, requiring the part to be destroyed after replacement or not requiring anything at all. In the case of Amflow and the widespread defects, consumers suffered, as Amflow has now started requesting the part back before replacement.
Amflow were not going to send me a screen, without checking the old one. That requires a dealer looking at it. Sure it would have been nice. But that's not the reality of buying from Amflow, when they have been in the EMTB business for less than 2 years.
I knew this when I bought it, and I took measures to insure I was covered.
I've bought expensive things from local dealers, and when they failed under warranty, I was sent a new one immediately, with a packing slip to return the old one. But if I didn't return the old one. They would have billed me again. This is possible with a local dealer. But not a foreign country. I'm not sure what you are expecting.
If you are so remote to everything, and the bike is going to be warrantied. I'd be thankful. Maybe that's that's just me.

That's pretty common in my experience with other manfacturers. Their engineers can examine it to see why it failed.
Yea its a bummer for you. But if it's dangerous enough that it needs replacing, isn't it too dangerous to ride on?
