New Zealand and Hong Kong don’t have that limit for Bosch powered eMTB’s. They could have class 3 but they dug this class one 750W hole and now they have to hide in it or look like hypocrites. Gordon

Mine doesn't. The noise I had was completely elim inated by sorting the brake hose and tightening up the battery bolts. My bike rides silent now. Gordon

Umm, I have two Avinox dealers within an hour of my home. And Avinox currently dropping a new feature update every other month. Bosch will update only after being dragged kicking and screaming into 2025 by DJI. Gordon

My full fat eMTB’s have been 1. 2019 Merida e160 with an e8000 2. 2021 Merida e160 with an EP8 3, 2023 Levo Gen 3 4. 2025 Amflow Carbon PL Pro. Every week we ride a 11km XC loop followed by a few gravity laps accessed by a 2.5km fire road with 250M of elevation. Mostly we ride in trail on each...

Amflow with a coil and 170mm fork is super capable. But likely not good enough for real downhill riding. The longer travel Forbidden with the Avinox looks the goods but how long are they going to be before arriving in Oz? Are you going to race this bike? I’d consider a Gen5 Bosch. As much as I...

That’s a great price for an AXS bike. Do you think there’s maybe a reason they’re discounting it so much? The TQ motor is very natural. It’s also the lowest assist bike available. Basically like eco on most bikes. You’ll certainly maintain your fitness. But you may still have trouble keeping...

Drones are regulated because a 1-5kg brick falling from the sky with spinning knives at each corner can kill someone besides the operator. I’m a commercially licensed drone operator and some of the stuff you see people doing is mind blowingly stupid. On a bike it’s mostly the meat holding the...

Yes. And others. DJI handles thermal management differently to Bosche. DJI’s thermal management runs earlier and regularly to control heat. The Bosche runs flat out until it cooks. The DJI motor runs cooler as a result (you’ll need to watch the DJI video for the heat measurement). A couple of...

It’ll be market dependant but here in Oz I’d suggest there are three levels of eMTB buyer. Those that can’t afford. Those that can and are buying. And those that already have one, some of whom upgrade regularly and some who don’t. The first two categories might be affected by price drops. But...

This is why Bosch wants a 750W limit. Their thermals can’t handle more than that. A really interesting independent comparison between the motor manufacturers. Gordon

Alexbiketester is a muppet. He’s had an anti-DJI agenda since before the bike was even released. He’s loving this stuff because it plays into his hands. Ha;f of what he says isn’t correct any way. Ignore. Gordon

No study has shown this to be true. Even when comparing a normal bike to any eMTB, additional wear isn’t a thing. It depends far more of how you ride, not what you ride. A good XC rider can peak at over 1500 watts. We’re not blaming them for extra trail wear. Poor technique and party tricks...

What you're describing is actually the regulation for the 250W nominal output. It's all about heat. Any e-MTB from a major brand released meets these standards. There's a CE (EU) and tick (australia) label on my Amflow. That means they say they meet the standard. The only other regulation is...

Do a search here for desrestriction. You’ll soon see it’s a decently large number. It’s just not that hard to find. I never mentioned the US. Not once. Due to your trail access issues and tribal culture, the US market is insignificant compared to the rest of the world in eMTB penetration...

That muppet is a bitter and disgruntled arse who, for some reason, has an anti-DJI agenda. He also makes stuff up. Gordon

This guy has a vendetta with DJI. He’s been anti Amflow since the launch. This muppet is best ignored. Gordon

This is just the old motor manufacturers and a few *influencers* who didn’t get a free bike whinging because they lost market share. Bosch sure played the power game well until DJI released. Specialized have 111nM on the sWorks. SHitmano are especially pissed because their horrible service and...

Also in my tests yesterday I repeated the same climb 4 times. 2 in turbo and 2 in trail. 2.5km 250m elevation. I'm 100kg in kit. Average gradient was only 7% though. Trail was 8 minutes and used 8% battery. Turbo was 5 minutes and used 12% battery. My Levo times are close in turbo to the Amflow...

Record jumps metrics like Spech and Garmin do. Start stop ride recording in bike without turning it on and off. Fix issue where app drops strata connection. Update firmware on older DJI cams to allow connecting to bike like the Action 5.

The Amflow will improve. Mine was extremely draggy when new. I contacted Amflow and they told me it's the motor seals that need time to ride in. After 280kms it's much improved and getting close to how my Levo feels over the limiter.. A dab of silicon grease behind the spider will help a bit as...
