The bike industry is currently doing the honors in Frankfurt. DJI is using the stage at Eurobike 2024 to present its first pedelec. The Amflox PL e-mountain bike is the first bike to feature DJI's own Avinox drive. It is bursting with smart features: App connectivity, display, handlebar remote, push assist, hill start assist - DJI packs in everything it can.
The bike is available with a 600 or 800 Wh battery and delivers a rated continuous output of 250 watts. At its peak, the motor briefly delivers up to 800 watts, and in boost mode it can even reach 1000 watts and an impressive 120 Newton meters of torque.
According to DJI, the maximum range is 117 kilometers with the small battery and 157 kilometers with the large battery, measured with a rider weighing 80 kilograms on flat terrain, in eco mode and at a speed of 15 km/h. The real ranges, especially when used in the mountains, are likely to be significantly lower. The supplied charger should bring the battery from 0 to 75 percent in one and a half hours. The frame is compatible with wheel sizes 27.5 and 29 inches.

The DJI Amflow PL is set to go on sale in the fall. The bike is not yet available for pre-order on the manufacturer's website, but you can already register by email for more information. DJI has not yet announced a price for the e-mountain bike, but the Amflow PL is likely to be expensive. The US magazine The Verge claims to have learned that the bike will cost between 7,000 and 12,000 euros.
Avinox e-bike motor
DJI also wants to make its Avinox drive available to other manufacturers and thus compete with companies such as Bosch and Specialized. The mid-motor, which develops up to 105 Newton meters of torque in normal operation, is supported by components such as a touchscreen display and a smartphone app. There is a choice of four riding modes - Auto, Eco, Trail and Turbo - as well as a Boost mode for 30 seconds of extra power; the modes can be adjusted via the app.

A self-developed compound planetary gearbox makes the motor comparatively compact. The mid-motor is said to weigh around 2.5 kilograms. Added to this is the weight of the battery, which weighs up to 3.5 kilograms, as well as a few grams for the remaining components.
