  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ย. 2024
  • This could be a modern David and Goliath story! Will this bike from a relatively new brand be able to take on the bigger, more established eBike brands? The Amflow PL equipped with the new DJI motor is lightweight and full power. Steve Jones is in Italy to put the new blood to the test. He takes it on a proper mountain adventure involving technical climbs, hair-raising descents and even some hike-a-bike.

      What I can say after the various test videos - I think the AMFLOW is brilliant - if it can keep all this in practice (not in the various tests on TH-cam) ;-) What annoys me about my previous bikes (Levo, Trek Rail and now Rotwild R.E375) is the unreliability of the Brose in the Levo and the volume of the Bosch and EP8 (rattling on the downhill and the volume of the motor under full load on the uphill). From the test videos so far, I could “hear” that DJI / AMFLOW are doing better - that would be the most important thing for me alongside the power and software features.

      a new brand noone has experience with when it comes to reliability, customer support or resale value (given they have dji behind their back gives me quite some trust - still....) i wished they had 4 models - all they have plus an alu frame with entry/midrange components for sub 5k, maybe even sub 4k. would make it easier for me to gamble my hard earned money on an unknown brand.... also, let me take out the battery! i live on the 4th floor without an elevator ;) and last but not least - a quantumleap is the smallest movement possible, so why do we use this term if we want to say the very contrary?

    I rarely comment on TH-cam videos or even other social media posts.
    I don’t even own an E-Bike, but I do ride MTB.
    I do frequently watch MTB reviews and lately my curiosity grew a bit more about E-MTBs so I came across this video.
    I probably watched at least hundreds of MTB reviews or just videos in general from different TH-cam channels.
    BUT…
    This video is on a whole different level.
    This is by FAR the BEST of any bike review or videos I have ever watched by a HUGE margin.
    It’s like if the Top Gear crew and National Geographic team all got together and made an E-MTB review/video.
    The actual bike is really cool and definitely got my attention now.
    But even if the review was about the most boring bike it would still be exciting.
    If AMFLOW didn’t not pay you at least tens of thousands of dollars or even more for such an incredible video then someone definitely should because it was that good.
    If there was an Oscar for the most high end bike review then it would be it!
    Just WoW!!!
    And most important, Thank You!

    At first I’m shocked by all the complainers then i realize that people are losing their shirts because of this bike. DJI just took over the ebike motor systems market in one move. The old platform for motor systems is obsolete and Steve sees it. Once more bike companies contract this motor system in their bikes we, the riders, all win. Lots of new bike designs and a great improvement in the technology. Steve is helping move the entire sport forward. This video is epic and Steve’s endorsement of this bike and system just changed the future of electric mountain biking.

    Few years earlier, i would never consider an e mountain bike, but now I'm getting older and my joints and back hurts more after every ride, I'm seriously considering one. Plus, e bikes and its relative technology and reliability has come a long way since the early days.
    This amflow would be on my shortlist. I've seen many none e bikes costing 5k or more, so the asking price for the base model of 6k seems "reasonable".
    I thought the views were excellent for this extreme test, steve

    I had a Rotwild RE750 Pro and now a Rotwild RX375 with a 85Nm Shimano motor. The weight difference is about 3kg, but it feels like 5-6kg.(23kg vs 20kg)
    Manuals is just so easy, even if the RX is 29/29 and the RE vas mullet.
    20kg with that power and range is pretty incredible.

    Saw the Don on his at Coed y Brenin,both did the same trail, Tarw du and used the same amount of battery, me using Bosch performance CX with a 750wh battery. My bike weighs 26kg though and guessing the Don was way quicker😂 to me the bike ticks the boxes of what I’ve come to realise I want out of an ebike! Power, lite weight and quick charging, I can change batteries in a minute but it’s extra weight on the bike and stuff I have to bring if I can charge it quick you don’t need another battery. Think the Don charged his back to full in half an hour from 60%!🤯 I’ll be getting one next year!👍🏻

    Thanks for the test. You definitely took the Amflow bike to difficult terrain and pushed it hard. Let's hope the reliability of the motor is still there after a couple of years of pushing hard. For my next bike, I want this sort of motor strength, and a modern battery in a proper enduro-style MTB like this one, coupled together with a strong, light internal gearbox. Wouldn't it be great if DJI were to develop an MGU like the Pinion one? Then you could go mountaineering without the fear of snapping off a derailleur.

    I have been semi in the market for an e-bike. I have hesitated since the full power ones weigh 25+KGs. I road my brother’s yeti e-bike and it is as a tank. I don’t want a bike that heavy for the riding I do. I had been thinking maybe an SL would work but I was unsure of range and if the power would be enough. Enter the Amflow. Light as an SL, same power or more as a full power.
    Seems like the handling is dialed as well. The travel is perfect for me and 29” is nearly mandatory around here.
    Just need to get it in dealers!

    If they can take another 2-4 kilos out and subsequently less power, they’ll have something. I ride similar terrain to vid, and more HP is addictive, but not necessarily required. 500 watts and add your input of 100 or more puts you into champion level output. Which should be enough, the rest is technique. At least in US where we don’t have access sorted as well, more output only adds more power to the contingent that wants to eliminate e-bikes from public lands. Less output should yield increased range, something that can easily do 5000 meters and 50+miles on a charge is really exciting for me! Currently levo dies at about 2500 meters and around 30 miles. Increased range opens up all kinds of traverses where towns and rest stops are very few and far between in the Rockies. At least until we get developed as the Alps! 😂

    Great video as always, Steve - epic! What size frame did you ride here as a 6 footer (L with 475 reach or XL with 500 reach)? May I ask which frame size you would recommend for a 6 footer (1.83M) looking to ride far less extreme trails than this on the silver Amflow PL 800WH (not the Pro version you rode here)? The Amflow sizing charts suggest both L and XL for 6 foot height on both options.

    The Amflow does not comply with UK EPAC rules, it has over 250w of power, and therefore cannot be used on uk roads unless it is taxed and you have a driving license and cannot be used on cycle paths.

    When are we gonna actually be able to buy these? And the Nicolai? A really leap forward is going to be when DJI copies the pinion motor gearbox unit so there’s some competition in that end of the market. I really like the centralization and the possibility of running a Gates belt drive.

    I feel Brose and Bosch are just about to catch up in October and the bikes will be better value. This Amflow is amazing but the top end should be the price of the low end version. You’ll pay extra for being an early adopter. This bike should be £6k.
    Lastly there was no mention of dealer support, something Bosch excels and will be very hard to beat.

    I rarely ride either my bosch or yamaha equipped bikes in any mode over the third, and I certainly don't find much joy in turboing up every climb, just to get there quicker, with the side affect being to shorten the ride when the battery goes flat.
    I'm massively impressed with the tech on this bike, but struggling to see how the desire for higher and higher power isn't just getting closer and closer to a Sur Ron type bike, just with the throttle being activated by a pedal rotation?

    Steve, that was truly an epic ride! You tested the new Amflow eMTB in the stunning Italian landscape. From the moment you got on the bike, you knew this was going to be something special. The Italian mountain trails gave you the perfect mix of technical challenges and breathtaking views. The steep climbs tested you at first, but the Amflow handled it effortlessly, and once you reached the top, you were rewarded with an unforgettable, adrenaline-filled descent through natural trails.
    Riding terrain like that on such a powerful bike was pure joy - the feeling of strength beneath your feet as you tackled every root, rock, and turn was incredible. The scenery around you, with majestic mountains and blue skies, made the experience even more unforgettable.
    Steve, this Italian adventure is surely one to remember. The Amflow allowed you to truly feel the power of an eMTB on a whole new level.😀

Cassettes and chains that have not moved with the greater power that is being put through them are inadequate.

I do love the sound of this bike but with motors becoming more and more powerful are they not tearing through chains and cassette really quickly? with the extortionate price of parts especially high end ones nowadays these bikes could become very expensive to run. A bike like this Amflow i'd probably want to ride all the time but I'm not sure i would be able to afford too. Unfortunately I'm now too old to train as a dentist!
