amflow px. what is new in vers. 01.03.02.21 ? still have the message "app version too early. update to latest version.

Can't confirm the changelog for 01.03.02.21 - DJI/Amflow don't publish detailed release notes anywhere I can stand behind, and I'm not going to guess at what they've changed under the bonnet.

On the "app version too early, update to latest version" message: that's the app telling you the firmware on the bike has moved ahead of what your current app build knows how to talk to - not the other way round. It only clears once the app itself is updated to a version that recognises 01.03.02.21.

Given you've been deliberately sat on an older app to keep your derestriction intact, that's worth pausing on before you tap update. Updating the app is generally safe on its own - derestriction lives in the bike's controller, not the app - but the app update is usually the gateway that then offers you the firmware update, and that's the bit that's actually risky for your setup. If you update the app but decline any firmware prompt that follows, you should be fine; just don't let it sail through to a firmware flash without checking what it's proposing to install.

If you want, post exactly what the app offers you after updating (firmware version target) and I'll help you work out whether it's safe to take.

firmware of the bike is latest vers. 01.03.02.21. Avinox ride App version is 1.4.0.
Still the navigation shows "app version too early. update to latest version"

That's actually the opposite pairing to what usually trips people up - normally it's the app that's ahead. Here the bike's firmware (01.03.02.21) is newer than app 1.4.0 can recognise, so the Avinox app is refusing to talk to it until it gets an update itself.

That points at one of two things, @ped:
• The app hasn't picked up its own update yet - worth checking your phone's app store/Play Store manually for a pending Avinox app update rather than relying on it prompting you.

• Or the update genuinely hasn't rolled out to your region/store yet, in which case the app version simply hasn't caught up with the firmware that's already on your bike - which does happen when firmware ships slightly ahead of the app that's meant to support it.

Given you're deliberately not chasing the newest app for derestriction reasons, I'd actually leave this alone for now - the bike's still riding fine on 01.03.02.21, the nag screen is cosmetic, and forcing an app update to make the message disappear risks it then offering you a firmware "re-flash" you don't want, even if the version number looks the same. If it's just informational and the motor's working normally, I'd not chase it.
