I know a few people on to there second motor already
It’s official, Amflow is now available in US. Finally👏.
- Thread starter BikingBad
- Start date
Speaking of repairs and warranty, I also am curious how it will work for persons living in a state that does not have an authorized dealer. I am looking forward to seeing how Amflow supports the bikes in the field that are (purchased out of market / and or not from authorized dealer) and (in market not near an authorized dealer)

My local bike shop (ontario canada) had the amflow rep drop by last week. They rode the demo he had and were impressed by the motor but not by the catalog looking frame and house brand components.
The owner had the same opinion as I do. Why buy a bike just for the motor when other, way more established brands will have said motor in a year or two. Kinda nice to know I'm not the only one lol.

What 'house brand components'? I get that the frame geo isn't completely up to date, but the components seem standard fox/sram/magura?
It was a biased opinion with no credibility.
It does not have a custom shock like the Genie, which only one brand has, so now its magically all fox components are a house brand
what a bunch of crap
The point was to make a light trail bike. Its not a downhill bike or enduro. It is a "trail bike"
Are you going to cry because this company made a great looking Ebike out there?
im on my third Shimano motor in 14 months. What is your point?
You dont think Brose and Bosch have this same issue? The Shimano service center in my city states every brand last around 3000 miles around here no matter who makes them. If people ride slow and easy and only in cool temps with few hills, sure you can get a lot more miles. But thats not everyone or real world applications.
All motors are far from perfect
This is not a magic bullet, nor do they claim such. But ill be interested to see how these last in 90F weather climbing 4000' day

The amflow wheelset that was on the demo he rode specifically. He was in awe that a brand could charge so much with noname wheels.

What do they charge? they do not sell these stand alone, so just out of curiosity, how do you know they charge so much?
By the way, ive had a lot of custom Chinese no name wheels built over the years, every last one still working fine. Same results as my buddies Enves
I get compliments, on who ever views it, and it rides great.

everything but the motor
Its not a nice looking bike because it has a fast motor, "sick" is what most people say concerning the whole package.

I don't understand how this could be a 'catalog frame' but don't see why that would matter if it still rides well (I haven't ridden one yet)
I have a Trek Rail (CX Gen 4), Santa Cruz Heckler (EP8), and Norco Sight VLT (EP8). I have no brand affinity and just want to ride something fun, which the amflow sure seems to be. If it's not, I'll sell it and try a CX Gen 5. All about having fun here.

Just a long distance rider, who enjoys his bike that is # 1 for this year, for more reasons than the motor.
You the local hater I see
We have a few on this forum.There are no perfect bikes that fit everyone, someone will always complain, no matter how nice the bike actually is.
So keep it up

Hey if you're happy with a flexy noname frame thats awesome man and if you're the rep and didnt have to pay for it even better.Just a long distance rider, who enjoys his bike that is # 1 for this year, for more reasons than the motor.

If you ride it once, you will buy it.
Its not like anything we have experienced before, less a motorcycle.
What impresses me is how quiet it is, well put together. My Canyon makes so much noise it doesnt need a bell lol.
In trail mode climbing a 1 mile easy hill, I set a KOM without trying. and you have 2 modes above that. Cruising up hills at 20mph is nice.
Handling wise, it is smooth and high speed corners you can fly around in 29 rear wheel mode, its just not as playful or precise in the tight stuff, but it carries more speed through the chunky stuff. I live where there is a lot of technical stuff and tight corners, so I will use the fli chip and put a 27.5 rear rim on it. Some trails ill use the 29 rear, for fast pace flow trails. Switchbacks and tighter trails Ill use the 27.5.
Tires are junk and I never use tubes, but that is all personal opinion, out of the box im having a blast. going faster then I ever have before, and not just a little increase. Its a shit eatin grin every mile
Not everyone wants a fast bike.
Not everyone wants to have fun.
Not everyone can handle riding fast, wherever they go.
If you every get a chance at a higher education, do not pass it up.
Learn what rhetorical prose is, having sales skills does not imply who is a company boy
This Ebike is #1 right now, and you not liking it is fine.
Another KOM? I wonder how that could have happened?! 
A more powerful motor might have something to do with it. But well done you…
Unno, Forbidden and Crestline just asked me to hold their pint…

Amflow do sell the wheels separately here in the UK:
Erstklassige Teile für jede Fahrt
Auf der Amflow-Zubehörseite bieten wir Ihnen eine große Auswahl an offiziellem Zubehör und Ersatzteilen, die vollständig mit der Amflow PL-Serie kompatibel sind. Jedes Zubehör- und Ersatzteil hat strenge Qualitätstests durchlaufen, um die optimale Leistung und Sicherheit Ihres Fahrrads zu...

Not here.
But the price is high for wheels in UK that is for sure. But if is quality, its not as high as the more expensive wheels either.
Neat thing about Chinese wheel builders, you can have some great wheels built to what ever spec you wish.
