ok guys, so we're all getting wound up about a bike that gives you a nice boost in power, total upside plus a big battery.... Frame is just ok, nothing awesome.... Downside? Frame support, I'm guessing that will be a real hassle if you crack the frame, plus what about motor support. My Rise blew out the motor, and with the help of my Bay Area LBS, it was fixed and solved in 5 days, they did the labor. Think you're going to get this support with the introduction of this brand? Take any off brand that is new to the market, and you'll quickly discover it's a TOTAL pain in the ass getting anything supported. Like, send us your defective motor and 3 weeks later you get to find someone to install the motor correctly, or possibly do it yourself. But this is a select group of people. Now what about 3,4, or 5 years from now? No one is thinking this through correctly, I think. All for some awesome boots up the hill, but does anyone really run BOOST all the time, or do we ride with groups that vary with rider ability to slow down a bit, wait for the slower rider... so this is somewhat crazy. Enjoy what you have, and wait and see what comes with the recent change in motor torque and screen tech. Not sure Specialized will just play dead., plus their support and frames are superior. Ugh, what a world.

playing devils advocate here, DJI is a brand that seems to really care about their social media image - they literally throw money at influencers to promote stuff. Say there were Some horror stores on youtube etc about motor failures - i feel like they would throw money equally at lbs / maybe your local dji drone repair hub to make life easy for warranty / repairs if it got to that. just my thoughts

For all we know early adopters may experience the best customer service known to mankind.

I've just noticed they have a 30-day unconditional return when bought direct from their website. That's pretty good and shows confidence in the product.

I too have a Rise (Hydro) - which I'd also describe the frame as being nothing awesome - with an EP801 which is not the best motor either. But I love riding it.
From what I seen from reviews the Amflow/Avinox package is very good. And it's more than just massive power - the control and the way the power is delivered always impressed the reviewers.

It's going to be interesting when we start to get real world feedback when there's more out there.
