Guess it wont take long for DJI to plug that with a firmware patch.

I also wonder about changing wheel size to 27.5 in the app when you are running 29er. This should in theory increase max speed?

Hi Gigs! Regarding your idea, you can set the wheel diameter to 27.5 inches in the APP but use a 29-inch rear wheel to get a bit more speed. But, because the assist algorithm, riding distance, and speed are all connected, we recommend setting the wheel diameter in the APP to match the real wheel size for the best ride.

Getting mixed reports. Some people say this works others say it doesn’t. Can anyone confirm one way or the other?

It works, but you have to update the device before you're able to access the 'secret' menu. I can confirm it's available in Device Version 00.08.03.06, who knows what will happen as the updates are pushed out though...

@Amflow_Support is being able to set the region code yourself here to stay?

So in a country like NZ where there are no legal restrictions we tend to get bikes that are set to the "normal" restrictions of 32km/h.
When I got my Shimano equipped bike it had been set to a max of 45km/h by a Shimano rep.
What would the theoretical max speed cutoff be for an Amflow/DJI in New Zealand?

I would not expect DJI to block this. I said in the other thread DJI usually leave some backdoors for things like this, they always have on their drones.

Compared to Bosch and others DJI will be more likely to throw a blind eye around restrictions.

It will be one way they get more people onboard unofficially.

I wish the others would do the same.

Interesting to note Brian Park's (Pinkbike bossman) comment, in reference to the DJI motor,

"The motor is insane, and I cannot wait for it to get launched in a few new bikes in 2025... but it's not "motor of the year."

Note that the motor of the year comment possibly refers to the article being "ebike of the year" and not "motor of the year". I don't think he was saying there is a better motor out there.

I know. My point is the motor will be launched in more than need bike. Confirms, at least, the Forbidden rumours.

Welcome to the forum. Have you checked the derestricting section ?

I have to say this is one element of the AMFLOW I'm incredibly jealous of. DJI have always generaly left back doors to get around overly restrictive regulations.

Brian Park just means that the category they are awarding for is not 'Motor of the Year'. It's E-bike of the year, and the Amflow is not the e-bike of the year even though he tacitly acknowledges that the DJI is the superior motor.

That’s obvious, as I said above.
The interesting part was the mention of bikes, plural, being released with the new motor.

 

[Suns_PSD]

Some of us have brands that we support and are sticking with. I won't consider an Amflow, at this time, for example. I'd maybe feel differently if I lived in steep mountains and motor performance dominated my experience, but I don't and it doesn't. In fact I would not care one iota about DJI's superior power, but for the integration/ screen/ weight/ feel/ etc. being class leading. Even when I visit the real mountains I don't care about the power that much. I mean, what do I care if I get to the top in 22 or 25 minutes instead? Also, if my dream bike was released with a Bosch Gen 5, I'd be totally fine with that.

The way forward for DJI is to ditch their competing bike and just pursue motor sales.

It's likely that Spesh & Forbidden will have DJI motored e-bikes shown at Sea Otter in April 2025, and possibly other brands too.

As far as the DJI ban, it was at least pushed off by the US Congress for this session, primarily because farmers depend on DJI drones so much.

PS. It's worth noting that Bosch will be announcing 105 NM full time power at Sea Otter 2025, or sooner. So, the Bosch will be comparable in power around when the new waves of e-bikes are released.

 

[Mad_Angler1]

Just to confirm on the DJI ban. It's not been pushed back due to any farming needs any other gov use case but what will happen has now been made crystal clear.

It's now reached a new stage where it's now written into law that the US government must prove within 12 months that DJI is not a threat to US national security.

In the event this does not happen DJI get automatically banned in a year.

So just to be clear on this. If the outcome of findings is delayed or even if no investigation is performed by the US Gov they are banned.

The default stance now is that they must be proven to be safe otherwise the FCC ban will automatically kick in.

The actual affect on this on the Avinox is potentially less than the drones as a workaroundable is DJI could sell a non wireless version of Avinox that would not require FCC certification.

However this all could change with the change of leadership.

It's being played somewhat as a repeive however it's also now set in stone and the real risk now is posturing by government agencys will results in the ban happening with no one agency having to take the blame.

It's a major issue for the drone industry I'm part of but as said less so for Avinox and DJI consumer goods as they can just remove the wireless functionally.

Tbh Avinox should be able to find a path though even if the worst would happen. You would just loose the WiFi and BT functionality at worst. This would not affect existing sold products either. Look forward to the usb port on the side lol.

On this is it expected to be a new motor or software updates to the Smart system? .

Something iv picked up in a number os people's posts is the DJI power delivery is better as is overrun at the speed limit. This is something Bosch could tune in an update.

 

[Suns_PSD]

The Bosch 105 NM is just a software update. The gen 5 was designed all along with this in mind.
