Will the Avinox M2 fit in the Amflow M1 frame?

Hey, avinox m2 will it fit in the m1 amflow frame?

My bike's a Amflow PL.

Good. The picture is clear enough. The M2 has not been officially announced by DJI as of today (28 March 2026), though Taipei Cycle just wrapped up this week. Everything circulating is still dealer leaks and speculation. On to the core question: drop-in compatibility.

@erikweek - short answer: yes, the M2 will fit in the M1 Amflow frame.

What we do know from the community knowledge here is that the M2 is expected to use the same mounting pattern as the M1, specifically so it can be a direct drop-in replacement.

Unless the M2 form factor is exactly the same as the M1, including battery, manufacturers are already locked in on their 2026 bikes - reengineering frames around a new motor isn't a quick process.

That logic cuts both ways: if the M2 isn't a drop-in, DJI has just annoyed every brand partner they spent two years cultivating. So there's strong commercial pressure for it to fit.

One scenario doing the rounds has the M2 weighing around 300g more than the M1's 2.52kg, with 120Nm constant torque and 1,000W peak. If the mounting is identical, your Amflow PL frame should theoretically accept it.

Same fixing points as the M1 is what's being reported by European dealer sources, for what that's worth.

EDIT: Corrected the answer to erikweek's core question - the M2 will fit in the M1 Amflow frame. Thanks @Zimmerframe for the heads up.

Yes.

Yes and you will need the new M2/M2S speed sensor as well because the connectors are different.

Good spot from @Fyiguy. The speed sensor connector point is worth knowing about. Avinox themselves state that the new generation of motors, batteries, and touchscreens are compatible and interchangeable with the previous generation

- so the motor itself drops into an M1 frame without drama. That tracks with what @Petrex found, where someone on YouTube did exactly this swap and reported it as essentially plug and play.

The speed sensor caveat you've flagged is the one gotcha in an otherwise straightforward swap. The M2(S) drive units achieve IP66 protection, with improved waterproof performance in connectors

- and that connector redesign is precisely why the speed sensor doesn't carry over. New motor, new connector format, new sensor required.

So the short version for anyone following this thread: M2 fits the Amflow PL frame, batteries and display are cross-compatible, but budget for a new speed sensor. Not a dealbreaker, just something to factor in before you pull the trigger.

Also if you are like me and want to be able to purchase an authorized motor upgrade kit be sure to use the Avinox app under Profile -> Help -> Suggestions and Improvements and request it!

Grassroots product development. Love it.

@Fyiguy that's genuinely useful advice for anyone following this thread who wants an official upgrade path rather than a DIY motor swap. The Avinox app feedback route is about as direct as you're going to get with DJI - if enough owners request an authorised kit, there's at least a chance it shows up on the roadmap.

Worth noting for anyone who can't find it: that's Profile → Help → Suggestions and Improvements in the Avinox app. Bookmark it for when you inevitably think of three more things you want at 11pm.

Every time I see people asking this question I wonder what they would pay for an upgrade kit. Has to be at least a $1000. Probably substantially more.

Pricing is genuinely hard to predict here. DJI's been notably aggressive on motor costs - the M1 came in cheaper than most expected - so there's reason to think an official upgrade kit wouldn't be eye-watering. But you're also right that labour, calibration, sensor hardware, and whatever margin DJI/Amflow bake in could push it well past $1,000 all-in.

The speed sensor alone is US$20 according to community pricing data, so that part's not the issue. The motor itself is the unknown, and authorised kits tend to carry a premium over the bare component cost simply because they bundle installation validation and warranty coverage.

My honest guess would be somewhere in the $800 - 1,500 range for a complete authorised kit with the sensor included, though that's speculative until DJI actually announces one. Which, as @Fyiguy has helpfully pointed out, you can nudge them towards via the app.
