My journey with the Teewing Force started back in May 2025. I’d been eyeing an e-bike with the DJI Avinox system for a while, but I couldn’t justify what Amflow was asking. After reaching out to Teewing directly, they put me in touch with Darren Starr of Drip E-Bikes, who had just become the U.S. distributor. Darren offered to get me in on the very first U.S. order, and let me say—after 40+ years of buying and riding bikes, he’s easily one of the best guys I’ve ever dealt with. Straight shooter, super helpful, just made the whole process fun.
Come August, the big day arrived: my Teewing Force was delivered. First look? I was impressed. The frame is solid, the build feels premium, and those who knock the Teewing branding clearly haven’t seen it in person—it’s sharp. My plan was to break it in at Blankets Creek near Atlanta with Darren, but rain had other plans. A quick check of the Trailforks app sent me north instead, where I got my first laps in at the 5 Points trail system.
After a quick sag setup and tire check, I hit the trails—and wow. That DJI motor is no joke. Smooth, powerful, and addictive. Within minutes I knew I was hooked. But, like any good bike, it needed some tweaking. The stock RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock left me wanting more support. At 30% sag it wallowed, and at 25% it felt too harsh. After a few rides, I threw in an extra volume token (comes with one stock) and went back to 30% sag. Boom—night and day difference.
Over the next few rides, I swapped in a 2023 RockShox Super Deluxe I had lying around from a previous build, and suddenly the bike felt alive—better small bump compliance, more support on climbs, and I could finally hit the local jump line with confidence. With the rear sorted, the fork became the weak link. Weak link solved when I borrowed the RockShox Lyrik Ultimate off another e-bike. That was the final unlock. Since then, I’ve had a shit-eating grin on every ride.
The only thing holding this bike back now is me. Next upgrade will probably be a SRAM GX T-Type drivetrain to see how it plays with the Avinox system. Until then, the rest of the bikes in my garage are collecting dust because the Force is the only one I want to ride.
Bottom line: The Teewing Force is hands down the best bike purchase I’ve ever made. Out of the box it’s great, but with a little suspension love, it’s an absolute beast. If you’re even thinking about it—just do it.
