😂 there's a popular saying in china. The one that destroys you is not from your competitors. When a top tech-driven company like DJI suddenly wants to play MTB (maybe one of the executive pickup the sports recently).
I use DJI as a filmmaker in my day to day job, for the last 6 years, drones, ghimbals, focus system, now… looks like I m going to ride a DJI emtb in my time off! Great news 🎉
Remember it was the 80s when some Indian crony capitalists made ceiling fans a mass market option. Till then Americans were paying exorbitant amounts. Even now they do. Whereas in india a ceiling fan of good enough quality could be had for mere 20 USD since last 20 years. Which consumes a mere 70-75watts. Lesser than most incandescent light bulbs etc. Even now we can buy ceiling fans for 15 USD easily. That needs like 65-75watts. And remember these fans were developed in the 70s. Nice to see the Chinese disrupting these well entrenched motor markets.
This will shake up the industry for sure. Not only did DJI make the motor but also the bike. Looks like the good'o Horst Link 4bar, a tried and true suspension design where over half the industry uses. I see some E-bike motor companies will go away in the next few years. Make a long travel version and with a reasonable price and it'll be my first Emtb...what I really want to see is a PinionMGU competitor, that would be the future.
@@ultrastoat3298 I disagree a little. Albeit having some advantages, those pinion gearboxes are cumbersome friction- and weightwise. Of course, it would be nice to see if DJI could go down the route of the fully integrated E-MTB drivetrain, maybe even with a magnet drive gearbox...
same, original mavic still strong and flawless, crashed it once from user error, replaced a prop, flying as well as i got it 6-7 years ago, no huge degradation in battery performance.
@@voongnzwhere do u buy reliable batteries? I have a mavic pro. They no longer support it or offer stuff to keep it running. No batteries avail from them either. Not even that old of a drone. Would suck if they did that with the bikes. Make a new model and the last model is now obsolete
Holy shit wtf? Like..... what have these current makers been doing this whole time? DJI just comes in as if they are the first to make these type of bikes. I am totally mind blown
@@cristibaluta 1000W for a non spedelec bike is indeed not street legal in many countries in Europe, it might be if it's only peak power and not sustained power output. My touring bike has a 95nm street legal motor, but still delivers 700W peak.
but if you think about it, ebike and drone motor run on the same principle. i bet someone at dji was like ‘wait, we already have all the techs, why not?’
I do ride MTB, downhill, enduro, dirt jumping, and park. I own five DJI drones, two Action 4 cams, a Mic 2 set, and other stuff. I never expected that they would make an e-bike. I never wanted an e-bike, but the quality of their products and their technological advantage over the competition makes me want one.
Yes, it`s just like with Apple - at some point you really don`t care about the product it self anymore, you care only about the brand on it. You will buy things you don`t even need, just because of the brand. Chinese DJI learned this early and have thrown a lot of money to market their brand in western countries.
@@cdjxwubcyex well...😂 all the drones and cameras and mic sets i have really used, can see from my youtube channel🤭 but... on mtb i love to ride to spend energy and train
@@timoklap I understand that and believe you , but at the same time, you're willing to spend 10+k on the thing you don't really need, just because you associate yourself with the brand. Don't get me wrong here, I don't want to judge you and I'm not saying that anything is wrong with you. It's just a human psychology and how big companies exploit it.
@cdjxwubcyex Yeah, I get you. I will not buy that bike because I already have four bikes. The whole bike launch was just for other bike brands to be innovated by DJI's motor system, so they would adapt it instead of Yamaha, Bosch, Shimano, and others. Every brand wants a lighter, more powerful motor and lighter, bigger batteries. And that dji bikr costs 5000-6000€ that is very good price
Wow! A drone manufacturer just brought more innovation in a single step than all bike manufacturers combined through the last years. What great times to live in for bike enthusiasts! This will be great for competition and in turn very beneficial to the end user.
DJI, this is amazing!! Please bring more technology to our industry. DJI have a real technology unlike other bike companies using a decade old tech. Can you please bring an integrated gear motor next?
DJI is quickly turning into the GE of China. I remember when all they sold were their Flamewheel DIY drone kits. Now they exist in much every type of drone submarket, portable electric generators/ UPS systems, and now ebike motors. Pretty wild watching them grow up over the years.
DJI is so dominant in innovation to the point it has no competition because others couldn't keep up. Even with no competition they spend on R&D and innovate like they are in a fierce competition.
@@hurbrowns5397 We had a competing brand here in France, called Parrot. It lasted all but a few years as DJI kept outcompeting us with better products. Now it's fair to say DJI is one of the most innovative brands on the planet.
I tried the bike/e-system at EUROBIKE and I've to say IT'S AMAZING! Super powerful, super quiet, super smooth. If they can deliver it at a good price and with good reliability, then it's going to be for sure one of the best options for an e-MTB.
Quick lesson in how power, torque and rotational speed and thrust works: At 120Nm of torque with 1kW you would be left with 2.4 RPM. Thrust can roughly be modelled as proportionate to RPM^2 x D^2 (D being diameter of prop) So by lowering the RPM by >2000x you’d have to increase the diameter by the same amount. Giving the prop a diameter of >2km doesn’t sound perfect but idk I’m just an aero space engineer 🤷♂️
Even if you aren’t in love with the bike, and I’m not a fan of touch screen anything, but emphatically against it in transport cabin/cockpit control integrations of any kind, the technology is impressive. Size matters…? Maybe these small, powerful things tend to rinse bearings etc more often. Longevity and serviceability are key issues but I’m not trying to shoot them down already. The effort put in to understand convenience and weeding out weak links ( cable management, battery extraction etc) does not pass unnoticed….Loving the battery management tech too. Bravo. Wot no gearbox? Jus’ kidding’. Or am I ?
All this talk of weak links and bike wear ... it's the trails that will suffer now, especially the up trails, they're going to get chewed out at a faster rate than ever with 85nm bikes.
I’ve never reached a bad DJI product. It’s not an average brand, everything is super well thought from the beginning and perfeccioned on later versions. Don’t forget DJI literally owns the drone market, from the first mavic almost 8 years ago throughout the first ever digital FPV system. My Phantom 4 still works flawless and it’s 7 years old and I still use the original FPV goggles with Gen 1 Air Unit. These guys know what they’re doing, bike looks awesome, and with a good price it’ll destroy any traditional brand!!

@@alexioflexio8818we feel that the current technology isn’t quite there yet at the moment and that an all integrated Motor/Gearbox for eMTBs will more be something for the future. We will definitely also research in that direction though.

I think the collective jaws of ebike makers may have just hit the floor. DJI has spend many years developing the penultimate in motors, batteries, charging technology, wireless comms and consumer savvy software. Very exciting.
You can see how proud the DJI guy is when talking about the bike, thats probably a good sign! :) I would love a bike with this motor, but i'm not a 100% certain about the new frame/bike brand. If we could get this motor and battery on other bike brands, that would be great, but I got the feeling we wont.
Thanks Rob! Also thanks to Dji's guy. Such an enthusiastic guy, clear, fresh, energetic, with know how... really good job! About the product... No words. Top! What many of us were looking for a long time... They enter into the market with the most powerfull-light unit, compact battery, best display and insane charging time. That shows that the traditional ebike industry were not interested. Of course they are able too make it, but they want us to go through all the marketing categories... Maybe now will be to late for them. Thanks again guys for such an amazing job. Wish you all the best to this company that brings everything to pop up in the sector. 😂
@@n3orun Nah, it'll be because they want to sell the motors to other bike manufacturers, and they don't want to be seen as competing against their own customers.
A smart way to take the entire Market Good 👍 job Dji 👌 you are the only one that make good stuff. From pro cameras , the best video transmitters , wireless microphones, etc.
DJI are so clever at developing new tech and if you ever get the chance to play with some of there products they are the best quality. My only true concern is that as output levels rise so does component wear???, what would have made this bike truly special would be belt drive, We URGENTLY need a different transmission system for ebikes, Shimano/Sram take note, put more development into a new belt/transmission system, please. Great video Rob.
I own 85Nm Shimano Motor and I can hear chain and casette cry everytime I go hard uphill. 120Nm, wow, this will be critical.... You are right, transmission must get changed.
DJI entering the bike market with e-bike motors is definitely a huge surprise! Hopefully the new competition will be beneficial to the development of future products and lower prices for consumers.
This guy is obviously very passionate about this product and knows all the stats.If it is priced right then they should make a killing in the Emtb market.I look forward to learning more.
Wow- DJI is the only Chinese company known to be industry leaders in design and quality. Love my Mavic, so can't wait for this! Wish it had a gearbox though.
You must live in the West where the media tells you nothing but lies regarding Industrial competitors in the "multi-polar" World. Have you not heard of Huawei??
DJI killing it. Very impressive. They've forced Shimano, Bosch, Bafang, etc to release their next gen motors alot sooner than they wanted. It would be interesting to see how many other brands can get onboard w the DJI motor/tech and make the push towards standard motor/battery specs so we can just swap out the motor like a fork or wheelset.
DJI coming in to remind everyone that they’re kind of goated at software,battery density, and motor efficiency when it comes to this type of stuff. I’m not the least bit surprised the product is amazing. That 800wh pack is pretty impressive
They won't be able to sell them here in the states because Congress will say they are reporting riders' travel information back to China, which is potentially dangerous to our national security. 🤣
@user-zu5do6ri6r Your data is already for sale for whoever wants to buy it. The whole national security excuse is such bullshit. You think anyone cares about your biking stats?
other than cube and radon everything all fox factory is usually 10k and you can add the "most powerful motor on the market" and "lightweight" card so yeah
Really wish they could do something like a single speed belt drive with the motor that compensate for the lack of gears, pinion mgu comes to mind but it's crazy expensive, but the belt drive solves all the wear and tear problems that rise from an emtb and makes it costly to own.
@@benreiter7218 it’s not a top of the line MTB, though. It’s good, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not competition legal…so, well, it’s competition isn’t top of the line mountain bikes.
In fairness, they just need this first bike and tech combo to get market share. Given their skills I'm sure the motor/gearbox combo will come very soon after. Also let's them fix any quibbles on this current model.
This looks awesome! I already figured it was going to be really good, but also very expensive lol.. DJI always makes top quality products. They're the "Apple for Drones & Camera's." They also make drone motors and ESC circuitry for the newer drones for more efficiency and run time, plus more speed as well... Every model they create or make a 2nd version, there is always a newer better design, and like with this it's no exception. Extremely well made but you do pay for that quality. Their warranty and service center for their electronics has been great and they have some of the best repair prices. Some of these movie set Drones, Industrial use, or Agricultural Drone Setup can cost as much as $50K...
Can't wait for DJI to evolve into the electric motorcycle and ev industry. They are right in terms of the level of battery and motor tech, and software integration being a natural crossover to the ebike scene, so there's def lots of potential for them to eventually develop e-motorcycles and evs that have better efficiencies and features compared to the current tech
Probably not. This brand isn't a slapped-together battery fire waiting to happen. Byd are burning at a rate that well exceeds what would necessitate a complete recall. So why even let them over? I wouldn't and you shouldn't either.
@@napalmholocaust9093 battery fires have nothing to do with bad quality, it's misinformation. All ICE cars catch fire all the time but the US media ignores it completely. Where i live i did not see any reports of electric car fires but every months 4-5 ICE cars catch fire in this small city of 200k.
@dtibor5903 yes and when an ice car catches fire it can usually be extinguished and repaired. If an electric car goes thermal runaway it's a total loss, no chance of being repaired.
@@steveo6034i did not really see any case where somebody extinguished the fire, so what's the difference? Most fires are happening when parking due to vandalism, electric shorts (mice, rats) or on accidents. Where do you have a chance to stop a fire before total damage? There is near zero chance.
Damn that's a good looking e-bike. The engine as well as the battery and controller are such nicely implemented it rly looks clean and sleek. Black and gold also quite a cool color scheme.
@@droneracer The Vienna Convention on Road Traffic was signed by almost every country in Europe, America, and Asia, an international agreement aimed at improving road traffic safety through the standardization of traffic rules developed in 1968. Every country adapted those rules for their regulations and standards. So I live in Republic of Moldova and we have the same limits of 250W for 30 minutes of power for an electric motor to be legal without a registration and number plate..
The peak power is 1000W, but it is only sustained for a very short duration. Official regulations require a limit of 250W for a continuous period of 30 minutes (depends which country).
For people saying DJI came out of nowhere with this advanced bike don’t realize DJI was the first company to master drones just imagine how much advanced they have been on electric tech and probably did alot o behind the scenes R&D and also the fine tuning they had to do to make the motor
With a limited market, it only makes sense for DJI to branch into other markets if they want to continue growing. Pretty smart move. Hope they continue to maintain the reliability of their products across the board. Dropped my Osmo Action 1 in the sea without a dive case more than a month ago (yeah, I was overly confident I wouldn't drop it from the kayak, aftermarket batteries also meant it might not be properly sealed). Retrieved it but could no longer turn it on (stupid move). Water got in through battery slot. Thought it was permanently dead. Left it to dry for over a month, then turned it on again, and what a surprise it works again.
So excited for other manufacturers to pick this up for other types of bikes like cargo bikes and dutch style commuters. Bosch has really been the only name in the game for mid-drive and this blows everything they offer out of the water.
holding off on buying an ebike has been very rewarding. I get excited new tech comes out but never commit. Leaving that for the chumps that need to upg every year..Buoght a DJI drone that was worth 2k for $300 a couple months ago.
Just like how former DJI engineers innovated the 3D Printer industry they must have a culture of innovation. Wish more companies had this mindset. Also: Today I learned the “I” in DJI is for Innovation!
If I didn’t already have an eMTB, I totally get one! I’ve used DJI drones for six years and they make fantastic products. Everything they make seems to be a hit! If they were Japanese or German, they’d be embraced much more by everyone, because they consistently produce top notch and sophisticated products.
And I love the "return to home" function.
Always make sure your home point has been updated and check it on the map.

In love with my DJI products, this is going to do incredibly well!
They should just put the DJI name on the bike. The brand is so well established that people would love to have a MTB with DJI name.
Won't be able to sell in the US then within a year or two. Most likely the reason they did not.
@@n3orun TikTok moved its headquarters to Singapore, but they still did not escape US sanctions
@@n3orun Nah, it'll be because they want to sell the motors to other bike manufacturers, and they don't want to be seen as competing against their own customers.
A smart way to take the entire Market Good 👍 job Dji 👌 you are the only one that make good stuff. From pro cameras , the best video transmitters , wireless microphones, etc.
DJI are so clever at developing new tech and if you ever get the chance to play with some of there products they are the best quality. My only true concern is that as output levels rise so does component wear???, what would have made this bike truly special would be belt drive, We URGENTLY need a different transmission system for ebikes, Shimano/Sram take note, put more development into a new belt/transmission system, please. Great video Rob.
This!!! Well said.
Belt drive would be good. That’s why I want a priority hot sauce
I own 85Nm Shimano Motor and I can hear chain and casette cry everytime I go hard uphill. 120Nm, wow, this will be critical.... You are right, transmission must get changed.
LinkGlide exists, works really well on ebike and is cheap. Shifts under full load no problem, lasts a lot longer.
It is called Pinion MGU
DJI entering the bike market with e-bike motors is definitely a huge surprise! Hopefully the new competition will be beneficial to the development of future products and lower prices for consumers.
This guy is obviously very passionate about this product and knows all the stats.If it is priced right then they should make a killing in the Emtb market.I look forward to learning more.
This is awesome
Imagine Dji drone connected to the bike and does all those cool things
Oo yes , the follow me mode perfected , its such a dream for us ..
You get fly-away AND ride-away in one 🎉🥳
Follow mode!
Wow- DJI is the only Chinese company known to be industry leaders in design and quality. Love my Mavic, so can't wait for this! Wish it had a gearbox though.
You must live in the West where the media tells you nothing but lies regarding Industrial competitors in the "multi-polar" World. Have you not heard of Huawei??
Xiaomi ? Huawei?
So glad that I hold off getting an emtb. Can't wait for the dji system to become widely available
DJI killing it. Very impressive. They've forced Shimano, Bosch, Bafang, etc to release their next gen motors alot sooner than they wanted. It would be interesting to see how many other brands can get onboard w the DJI motor/tech and make the push towards standard motor/battery specs so we can just swap out the motor like a fork or wheelset.
Nailed the looks and spec! Will for sure look into getting one if the price is reasonable.
So that‘s some stunning new tech we want to see. I am excited !
I don't think I've ever been so excited about subscribing to a channel! DJI king of industry.
I've never been so excited for new tech. This looks the dogs bollox!!!!! I'd best get saving.
This is what war does, pushes tech/innovation forward. DJI was perfectly placed to ride this wave.
I love dji can’t wait for this
WOW, THAT IS INCREDIBLE JUST WILD. I'D LOVE TO BE ABLE TO RIDE A BIKE AGAIN AGAIN.
Well done Rob been following you to a fair extent pretty much sice day one never noticed you quietly smashing EMBN right out of the park congrats :)
whenever dji does something, even when for the first time they do it the propper way. this is impressive.
This at a sensible price will have the big players quaking.
Bosch will now the GoPro of the ebike industry.
Bosch has left the chat.😅
Water has entered the dji motor
Hahhahaja
@@militaryrig Yes. And then you wake and the dream is over.
Wow, very very impressive for their first go. Current manufacturers are going to have to catch up!
It would have been a bombshell if something was done about the insane prices.
Fair play they have knocked the other mtb manufacturers out of the park. Bike looks great and the system as a whole sounds awesome 👌
Sweet. Now they can brick my e-bike with an update too.
DJI coming in to remind everyone that they’re kind of goated at software,battery density, and motor efficiency when it comes to this type of stuff. I’m not the least bit surprised the product is amazing. That 800wh pack is pretty impressive
They won't be able to sell them here in the states because Congress will say they are reporting riders' travel information back to China, which is potentially dangerous to our national security. 🤣
Keeping our data out of the hands of the CCP is one of the few things our government should be concerned with.
@user-zu5do6ri6r Your data is already for sale for whoever wants to buy it. The whole national security excuse is such bullshit. You think anyone cares about your biking stats?
They are also concerned about TikTok data. I don’t know what CCP feels like when they see all those new teenage dance trends.
Why?
DJI is still being sold in the USA and still used by law enforcement.
DJI making bike components wasn't on my cards for this year. Amazing.
Must come with a huge pricetag.
other than cube and radon everything all fox factory is usually 10k and you can add the "most powerful motor on the market" and "lightweight" card so yeah
They said 7-12k, which seems competitive
Name another company like DJI. Drones, action camera's, gimbals, now e bikes. Smart engineers for a fact.
To be a game changer the water ingress protection needs to be IP68 and the warranty 5 years
Really wish they could do something like a single speed belt drive with the motor that compensate for the lack of gears, pinion mgu comes to mind but it's crazy expensive, but the belt drive solves all the wear and tear problems that rise from an emtb and makes it costly to own.
The pinion changes like a bag of spanner's
NO MENTION OF PRICE? IF you have to ask for the price, you CANNOT AFFORD IT.
$12K USD
Duh it's dji😂 when did they want cheap
But… compared to the top of the line manually powered mountain bikes that’s actually not terrible
@@benreiter7218 it’s not a top of the line MTB, though. It’s good, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not competition legal…so, well, it’s competition isn’t top of the line mountain bikes.
@@TheOfficialOriginalChad lol the price of a car
DJI it's the most amazing innovative industry!
I still dont want a 20kg bike, but I am impressed by the tech.
I don’t care for the bike, but the motor 🤤. Put this in the Santa Cruz heckler
Awesome - But I really wanted a gearbox unit from them.... that would have slaughtered the rest of the market!
Exciting times when DJI come on board with their tech. It really shows the advancement of E-MTB and the direction big players see the market going.
Just needs a gearbox
get rid of those pesky chaindrives - it is 2024 fgs
Spot on, c'mon DJI, where's the motor gearbox combo?
It’s electric there’s no point 😂
In fairness, they just need this first bike and tech combo to get market share. Given their skills I'm sure the motor/gearbox combo will come very soon after. Also let's them fix any quibbles on this current model.
@@Pizza-xi3fsdefinitely has a large rpm range.
This looks awesome! I already figured it was going to be really good, but also very expensive lol..
DJI always makes top quality products. They're the "Apple for Drones & Camera's." They also make drone motors and ESC circuitry for the newer drones for more efficiency and run time, plus more speed as well... Every model they create or make a 2nd version, there is always a newer better design, and like with this it's no exception. Extremely well made but you do pay for that quality.
Their warranty and service center for their electronics has been great and they have some of the best repair prices. Some of these movie set Drones, Industrial use, or Agricultural Drone Setup can cost as much as $50K...
Did not see this coming!!
Can't wait for DJI to evolve into the electric motorcycle and ev industry. They are right in terms of the level of battery and motor tech, and software integration being a natural crossover to the ebike scene, so there's def lots of potential for them to eventually develop e-motorcycles and evs that have better efficiencies and features compared to the current tech
I guess in the future there would be flying cars from DJI
How much is it and when are they available? Available in Canada too?
Not available because of sanction, Canadian government says it will spy on you😊
DJI nailing what I was looking for. A lightweight transportation vehicle that is still a bike. I want one.
The U.S. and EU bike makers will cry uncle and ask for 100% tariffs from their governments.
Probably not. This brand isn't a slapped-together battery fire waiting to happen. Byd are burning at a rate that well exceeds what would necessitate a complete recall. So why even let them over? I wouldn't and you shouldn't either.
@@napalmholocaust9093 battery fires have nothing to do with bad quality, it's misinformation. All ICE cars catch fire all the time but the US media ignores it completely. Where i live i did not see any reports of electric car fires but every months 4-5 ICE cars catch fire in this small city of 200k.
@dtibor5903 yes and when an ice car catches fire it can usually be extinguished and repaired. If an electric car goes thermal runaway it's a total loss, no chance of being repaired.
most US and EU bike makers make everything except the electric 1:19 part
@@steveo6034i did not really see any case where somebody extinguished the fire, so what's the difference? Most fires are happening when parking due to vandalism, electric shorts (mice, rats) or on accidents. Where do you have a chance to stop a fire before total damage? There is near zero chance.
This is refreshing breaking all the mental barriers.
Nice but the price is a bit much for us regular guys
Damn that's a good looking e-bike. The engine as well as the battery and controller are such nicely implemented it rly looks clean and sleek. Black and gold also quite a cool color scheme.
Good to know a 1000w is fully street legal.
250w nominal certified but 1000w peak power 👍
@@RobRidesEMTB certified by who?
@@droneracer The Vienna Convention on Road Traffic was signed by almost every country in Europe, America, and Asia, an international agreement aimed at improving road traffic safety through the standardization of traffic rules developed in 1968. Every country adapted those rules for their regulations and standards.
So I live in Republic of Moldova and we have the same limits of 250W for 30 minutes of power for an electric motor to be legal without a registration and number plate..
@@rpgPalette your last parapragh contradicts what was said in the vid. 1000w is legal.
The peak power is 1000W, but it is only sustained for a very short duration. Official regulations require a limit of 250W for a continuous period of 30 minutes (depends which country).
OK!!! my flying bike dream has taken a giant leap forward.
4:50 - 800 watts?!?!!? That guy does not understand what is W and Wh. LOL! Who on earth uses watts to measure battery capacity?!
Yea bit of a worry
Geeze, this is awesome. I would love to see this motor in a custom Brompton !!!
Owft - amazing! I've been using their drones for 5-6yrs now and they're amazing - great they're joining the ebike party :)
For people saying DJI came out of nowhere with this advanced bike don’t realize DJI was the first company to master drones just imagine how much advanced they have been on electric tech and probably did alot o behind the scenes R&D and also the fine tuning they had to do to make the motor
This is the top that finally wakes up bosch and the rest from that sweet sleep Gigant by dji Bravo
With a limited market, it only makes sense for DJI to branch into other markets if they want to continue growing. Pretty smart move. Hope they continue to maintain the reliability of their products across the board. Dropped my Osmo Action 1 in the sea without a dive case more than a month ago (yeah, I was overly confident I wouldn't drop it from the kayak, aftermarket batteries also meant it might not be properly sealed). Retrieved it but could no longer turn it on (stupid move). Water got in through battery slot. Thought it was permanently dead. Left it to dry for over a month, then turned it on again, and what a surprise it works again.
Awesome e-bike DJI! Great video, Rob!
DJI dominating with everything it makes.
So excited for other manufacturers to pick this up for other types of bikes like cargo bikes and dutch style commuters. Bosch has really been the only name in the game for mid-drive and this blows everything they offer out of the water.
holding off on buying an ebike has been very rewarding. I get excited new tech comes out but never commit. Leaving that for the chumps that need to upg every year..Buoght a DJI drone that was worth 2k for $300 a couple months ago.
holly-molly! Powerfull as hell, incredible weight, new tec batery, nice design, please sel just framesets. Amazing job DJI!
Bikes and aircraft have a history of shared tech for over 100yrs
the discussion at 9:55 got me excited about easier owner-maintained servicing. hopefully DJI supports right-to-repair of their ebike products.
hopefully they do, I was happily surprised you can order almost any part for their drones from a not hard to find parts catalogue
Just like how former DJI engineers innovated the 3D Printer industry they must have a culture of innovation. Wish more companies had this mindset.
Also: Today I learned the “I” in DJI is for Innovation!
These are the types of innovations I expect to see
If I didn’t already have an eMTB, I totally get one!
I’ve used DJI drones for six years and they make fantastic products.
Everything they make seems to be a hit!
If they were Japanese or German, they’d be embraced much more by everyone, because they consistently produce top notch and sophisticated products.
