The world of electric mountain bikes (eMTBs) is poised for a transformative shift with the introduction of DJI‘s groundbreaking Avinox Drive System. DJI Avinox eMTB

Unveiled at Eurobike 2024, this revolutionary technology marks DJI’s foray into the e-bike market, bringing its expertise in drone technology to propel eMTBs to new heights.

Unveiling the DJI Avinox Drive System

At the heart of the Avinox Drive System lies a compact and powerful motor unit, weighing a mere 2.52 kg yet delivering an impressive 105 Nm of torque. This seamlessly integrates with a planetary hub gear system featuring high-performance polymer gears, striking a balance between size, weight, and power output while maintaining whisper-quiet operation.

Intelligent Assistance with DJI Smart-Assist

The Avinox Drive System’s brilliance lies in its DJI Smart-Assist algorithm, which automatically adapts assistance levels based on pedaling resistance. Riders can choose from four pedal assist modes: Auto, Eco, Trail, and Turbo. For an extra boost when needed, the Boost mode provides a surge of power. The Auto mode utilizes multiple sensors to continuously adjust assistance, ensuring a versatile and adaptable riding experience. Further customization is possible through the Avinox app, further enhancing the riding experience.

Powering Adventures with Advanced Battery Options

The Avinox Drive System offers two battery options: a 600 Wh and an 800 Wh model, both lightweight and boasting high energy density. The 800 Wh battery, equipped with GaN rapid charging technology, can be recharged from 0% to 75% in just 1.5 hours, minimizing downtime.

Intuitive Control with OLED Display and App

The Avinox Drive System features a 2-inch color OLED control display that serves as the system’s interactive hub. By connecting a smartphone via the Avinox app, riders gain access to a wide range of features, including bike protection, ride data recording and sharing, assistance parameter adjustments, and real-time bike status monitoring. The system also includes two Bluetooth-connected remote control units for added convenience and reduced handlebar clutter.

Amflow PL: The First eMTB Powered by DJI Avinox

Amflow PL emerges as the first all-around integrated electric mountain bike to feature the DJI Avinox Drive System. With a peak power of 850 W (nominal power of 250 W) and a weight of just 19.2 kg, this eMTB sets new benchmarks in terms of power, range, and performance.

A Fusion of Passion and Expertise

Peter Archer, Senior Product Specialist at Amflow, eloquently captures the essence of Amflow PL’s creation: “As engineers with a passion for mountain biking, we’ve witnessed many technological innovations fail to find a foothold in the eMTB world. Combining our experience with our shared passion, we’re thrilled to introduce ourselves to the riding community as Amflow, and with us, our first product: Amflow PL. We’re confident this marks a turning point for the eMTB industry, as innovative technology finally merges with ultra-lightweight materials to transform every terrain into a world of possibilities for mountain bike enthusiasts.”

Unparalleled Performance and Features

Amflow PL boasts a carbon fiber frame weighing a mere 2.27 kg and is compatible with 27.5″ and 29″ rear wheels, catering to diverse riding preferences. The four-bar linkage system minimizes pedal kickback, enhancing efficiency. The rear shock, developed in collaboration with FOX, provides responsive damping and powerful bottom-out support, preventing rider separation during high-speed impacts and steep descents.

Intelligent Power Management and Connectivity

The DJI Avinox Drive System delivers multiple assist modes, including Boost, providing 120 Nm of torque and 1,000 W of power. The Walk mode assists with uphill walking, while the Auto Hold function prevents the bike from rolling back on inclines. Amflow PL’s battery weighs just 2.87 kg. The 12A/508W GaN charger efficiently replenishes the battery from 0% to 75% in just 1.5 hours. The battery management system meticulously monitors battery health in real time, maintaining 80% of its initial capacity even after 500 charging cycles.

Seamless Control and Information at Your Fingertips

The control system, integrated into a 2-inch color OLED touchscreen display, offers comprehensive real-time data visibility and allows for effortless mode switching with a simple touch. Bluetooth remote controls, free of cable clutter on the handlebar, enable parameter adjustments on the go, while the Avinox app unlocks additional functionalities like a password-protected anti-theft mode (the app sends notifications upon detecting unusual eMTB movement) and remote bike location tracking. Through the control display or the Avinox app, riders can monitor a plethora of data points, including speed, range, cadence, power, torque, gradient, altitude, calories burned, ride times, heart rate, and more. This data can also be synced with third-party fitness apps like Strava.

Rigorously Tested for Peak Reliability

Amflow PL has undergone rigorous testing to guarantee exceptional reliability. Certified by renowned entities like TÜV SÜD, UL Solutions, and TÜV Rheinland, this eMTB is engineered to withstand extreme environmental conditions, ensuring stability and rider safety.

Availability and Pricing DJI Avinox eMTB

While Amflow hasn’t disclosed the official sales price yet, the eMTB is expected to hit the market by late 2024, distributed through retailers in Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, and other countries. DJI Avinox eMTB

The Dawn of a New Era in eMTBs

The DJI Avinox Drive System and Amflow PL represent a paradigm shift in the eMTB landscape. With its intelligent power delivery, seamless connectivity, and rider-centric features, the Avinox Drive System pushes the boundaries of eMTB performance. Amflow PL, as the first eMTB to integrate this revolutionary technology, embodies the perfect marriage of power, efficiency, and lightweight design. As riders embark on their adventures, the Avinox Drive System and Amflow PL promise to transform every ride into an exhilarating journey, empowering them to conquer challenging terrains and explore new horizons.
