Amflow TL Carbon SUV E-Bike Puts DJI's Avinox on
SkimNews Take
Repurposing the Avinox drive across bike formats positions the motor as the platform rather than the product, letting Amflow sell one integrated system to OEMs building whatever category the market shifts toward next.

- Amflow unveiled the TL Carbon electric SUV bike ahead of Eurobike 2026 in Frankfurt, marking the first Avinox-powered model designed for utility, commuting, and touring rather than pure trail riding.
- The bike pairs a full-suspension carbon frame (2.9 kg / 6.4 lb) with a 200 kg (441 lb) total system weight rating, including a 27 kg rear rack and optional 20 kg front rack — a rare sub-50-lb figure for a fully-featured full-suspension commuter.
- DJI's Avinox M2 mid-drive motor delivers up to 125 Nm of torque and 1,100 W of peak output, paired with 800 Wh or 600 Wh removable batteries plus an optional 480 Wh range extender for up to 1,280 Wh of total onboard capacity.
- Amflow is debuting new Avinox ecosystem hardware alongside the TL Carbon: a charging hub that sequentially tops up four batteries, and Avinox SmoothShift electronic shifting co-developed with TRP to cut motor torque during gear changes.
- Suspension duties are handled by a FOX co-developed system with 120 mm of front travel and 105 mm of rear travel, tuned specifically for the bike's cargo-carrying geometry.
- The TL Carbon supports 27.5-inch, 29-inch, mullet, and reverse-mullet wheel configurations and lets riders strip the racks and fenders to convert it into a more traditional trail bike.
- Integration includes the Avinox Ride app with offline navigation, Apple Find My support, heart-rate-based assist control, and direct connectivity with DJI's Osmo action cameras.
Why it matters: Amflow is packaging DJI's 1,100 W Avinox M2 motor and proprietary shifting/charging tech into a sub-50-lb full-suspension SUV bike rated for 200 kg — a spec combination almost no other brand in the utility-e-bike segment currently matches. The launch marks Avinox's first deliberate move out of the eMTB niche, turning what was a trail-only component family into a broader ecosystem with its own charging infrastructure and drivetrain.
