Thanks for the video. It was good.

I do think you should add 2 things:

1) These Amflows are not sanctioned (per DJI reps on the e-mtb forum) and are not coming from authorized sellers. There will be Amflow dealers soon in the USA, however.
2) The Bosch info you have in your chart is for the Gen 4, not the current Gen 5.

 

Very, very good feedback. Thank you @Suns_PSD

 

A few more observations to share:
1) Unpacking and assembly took about 20 minutes
2) Alarm and motion sensor went off because the bike was previously paired to the owner's phone and the owner was not close to the bike when it was moved.
3)The bike was imported from Europe where the ebike speed limit is 16mph. We tested this and motor goes to 20mph without dealer programming. The bike uses geolocation to set the bike's speed limit according to where it is and the local ebike regulations.
4) The motor assist goes to 20.2 mph (without slowdowns starting at 18mph). And then there is no assist past 20.2 mph

 

Geolocation-based speed limit is neat! I'm at work and haven't had time to watch the videos yet so maybe you answered this question, but who was the previous owner? Someone at Amflow?

 

stahhhhhhhhhhp making me want an ebike. this is a mind virus. almost glad I can't afford one right now. Give me Pinion MGU SmartShift with Gates belt drive...or give me titanium singlespeed.

 

this is a mind virus that melts your face

FIFY

 

How does it pedal with the motor off? Is there much drag?

 

When brand new, tons of drag. And then it really breaks in the drag decreases. We'll see on the actual tests after we drain this battery a couple of times.

 

As long as China doesn’t rat me out for poaching regular MTB KOMs in Strava!

 

It's funny because it's been tested and works.

 

 

 

 

The thing with conspiracy theorists that bugs me most is their lack of understanding of what "theory" means. Theory is an idea used to explain fact. The government controlling us? I don't doubt that's a fact. The governement controlling us by putting 5G covid into our water supply? I've italicized the bit that makes you go from factual bastion to lunatic

Still though, I'm starting to really want one of these droney boi bikes.

 

The thing with conspiracy denialists that bugs me most is their lack of desire to understand the conspiracies. Facts have been for sale for centuries. Crazy people out there? They admit those. The government lying to us and Corp hiding tech? Somehow the examples of such occurrences Are outliers and couldn't be conducted today.

Still, though. I been having fun for a while.

 

Er....

If DJI is listening, please do a rigid 29er with a refrigeration system and a 1L capacity Slushee machine.

 

I get WalMart ads. I haven't shopped at WalMart in a decade.

Advertising>Algorithm

They're too greedy to let the Algorithms do their jobs.

Paranoid and loony as I am, I ain't skeered of "surveillance device all the things".

They outsourced dystopia. Lol.

They know this. That's why you're getting the ads, to lure you back. No point advertising to the already converted.

 

"They complain about further steps towards control, seemingly ignoring they're already well on the way."

Wow.

I kinda agree with you.

But.....

Wow.

 

The front chainring, cassette, chain, and freehub are going to take a beating and wear out quickly. Most are not designed to take this kind of load.

 

Compared to what?

It's all relative but that's why they keep making parts so they can be replaced (sooner or later depending on rider).

Compared to what?

Agreed.

Agreed.

The increased wear is compared to any other bike with a lower torque output. The wear is proportional to the load and contact pressures of all of the parts. The higher torque in the motor creates higher tension in the chain and higher loads at all wear points. All e-bikes already experience this but the increased output of this motor will reduce the life of all of the components in the drivetrain even further.

 

Of course it will. Not shocking. Drivetrain's for e-bikes are pretty stupid at the moment.
Need a hard wired, 11 speed wide ratio, about a 10-45.
Who needs a 52t on a full power e-bike?

 

Guys, guys, they're just pointing out that the increased drivetrain wear is a conspiracy by BigGroupset to get us to keep buying cassettes*
