    Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

    There's 917 in my MTB community and zero have crack issues. And secondly. How about you come clean with where all these bikes were bought. Are you Ron Hack ? And lastly. Are you trying to claim that 7% of Amflow PL's cracked at the seat tube ? Surely if this was the case, there would be an...

    GOBAO ECVT EMTB Mid-Drive Motor

    This is why, if you set the E-CVT up with say 12 fixed gears. The pedalling should feel almost identical to a 12 speed derailleur, as it doesn't matter if the ratio change between the cranks and rear wheel, is done at the chainwheel, or the cassette. It's only the ratio between the cranks and...

    Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

    Listen. I post this as a warning to others. I buy from Aliexpress all the time. But here is an Amflow PL Carbon Pro being sold at less than AUD$7K, that I could buy right now. But there is zero chance what will turn up, will be an Amflow PL Carbon Pro with full warranty from Amflow. You'd have...

    MGU E-bike availability

    If you grew riding a derailleured bike. You are going to prefer the feel of a derailleured EMTB. It's going to come down to re-training yourself to the feel of a virtual gearbox. So. it's my opinion, that if you are damaging, or needing retune derailleurs and cages. Or needing to do lots of...

    Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

    You saying it's widespread, doesn't make it widespread. What part of "a small batch" do you not understand ? It also appears to be a localised flaw in the manufacturing process, rather than a design flaw. Not sure what you expect Amflow to do. If they don't have a dealership in the country...

    Did you also buy a PX ? Is your PL fixed ?

    Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

    Whilst there are definitely isolated reports of PL seat tube cracks, that Amflow have warrantied. There appears to be no reports of PX cracks. Do you have a link to the ones you are reporting ?

    SRAM T-type failure across all transmission type e-bikes

    The 1270 is being fitted to many Enduro's that are running the the SRAM 90 or the S1000 AXS. That includes the new Whyte Karve RSX, that runs the M2S motor. My Enduro Teewing Flux came with it and the SRAM 90, though I changed the derailleur to the AXS S1000. This transmission runs smoother...

    SRAM T-type failure across all transmission type e-bikes

    Hi Steve, Let me share my experience with fitting T-Type cassettes. I have fitted and removed the XS-1295 cassette (XO version) to several XD hubs. And I found the cassette very difficult to screw on and off. The screw part doesn't seem to turn easily. It's also very easy to cross thread. So I...

    Avinox Reveals its Motor Gearbox

    The design has not been released. But technically yes. You can recharge the battery, as well drive the rear wheel from pedalling. My suggestion would be to turn the assist off, before draining the battery completely flat, so all your leg power goes into driving the wheels. You do need to drive...

    Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

    Mate. Saying you don't offer warranty on international purchases, then following through and not offering the warranty when someone does exactly that, is a "Professional Attitude". Offering the warranty to you would be unprofessional to the dealer networks and thousands of other buyers who...

    Article Video: Teewing Flux 180mm, high-pivot, Avinox EMTB first look and ride

    On technical terrain. The Flux is second to none. But on trail rides like riding the Centenary Trail. At 20kgs, the lightness of the Amflow is just a bit better. But there's not much in it. Where as on downhill technical, the Flux is just so far ahead of the Amflow. But I definitely will use...

    Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

    I have had a 5 year relationship with DJI, owning 2 drones and an EMTB, and their being a DJI store 5km from my home. They have been nothing but professional in their attitude towards sales and service of their products. Maybe you should google "Professional Attitude". You might learn...

    Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

    The Amflow website clearly specifies the dealer network. The issue I have, is your title and opening post mention nothing about accepting responsibility for not doing due diligence and checking that you bought from an authorised dealer. It also doesn't mention that buying from an international...

    Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

    What a load of hog wash. If the OP had bought the bike through an authorised dealer or direct from Amflow, and the frame cracked. It would have been warrantied. There is zero reputational issues. No one held a gun to his head and forced him to buy the bike cheaply through Alibaba. Amflow have...

    GOBAO ECVT EMTB Mid-Drive Motor

    The first release of any new technology while have compromises, that will be resolved as the technology develops. It's been that way since man lived in caves. But compared with the compromise a derailleur, cassette and chain transmission creates on an EMTB. These unknown MGU E-CVT compromises...

    Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

    I have no clue what the issue is. I have a PL carbon pro in Medium, that I bought from a recognized Amflow dealer. I have bought new Samsung phones from OS on Ebay. Some have had issues, like the camera had a spot on it. Samsung Australia would not touch it with a 10 foot pole. I knew this when...

    Article Video: Teewing Flux 180mm, high-pivot, Avinox EMTB first look and ride

    My Flux has perfect chainline, and the chain runs super smooth. Since changing the bent cage, the shifting is so quiet and smooth. And as you say. The motor is super quiet. Much quieter than my Amflow. I think you need to get your idler alignment looked at Rabbit. Apart from bending my...

    Pic of the Day

    First trip to Canberra with the new EMTB. Hit up the Centenary Trail. BTW. I should be skiing these weekends. But 4 weeks into the ski season in Australia and it's not even cold enough to make enough snow to get a lift open. Very sad.
