Likely. Any Chinese company previously make this
kind of abomination is now going to make a DJI bike.

Sounds like existing brands should hurry up and implement it.

New Turbo Levo?
A lot of manufacturers will be running Bosch CX 5 which will be even more interesting with the update and then you have Specialized & Giant coming up with their new gen system soon...I don't think anyone is in a rush to implement DJI in order to sell bikes.
New Levo looks like the Levo SL which is nothing like this.

Where are you seeing the new Levo?

Going to sleep dreaming on a Teewing under the Christmas tree... Oh boy 
Because it's a generic frame with no backup/support, likely to have random bits thrown there you can't buy if it's ever needing fixing etc, long term support is likely non-existent.
Lets be fair here, the Amflow is a pretty average frame in terms of anything, from geometry to linkages, to anything, it's not setting the world on fire in the slightest. The only reason it sells is because of the motor. If that was running ANY other motor they'd have sold 5
There's a new Levo on the way? Wow, who knew? You'd think there'd be a thread about something so earth shattering...

Most generic frames are just that, copies of well known brand frames, probably made to a similar standard by a well known factory churning out frames for multiple brands. Can we guarentee quality, probably no but then can we guarentee quality from any well known brand where the frame is made in the same factory ?
Random bits, well thats every brand out there I'm afraid to say.
But then its selling a lot of bikes in a market which is pretty horrid for any brand, it can't be that bad if the pros on line are saying that it just does most things well, probably thats good enough for 98% of the readers here.
Wouldn't bet on that. Can I ask you a question, if that frame was all carbon, had pretty OK components, had the DJI motor and its displays, but was 1/2 price of the equivalent say Specialized Levo, which would you buy ?

prepare for salty amflow owners...in 3...2..oh there it is
I disagree fella, bikes like Trek, Specialized, SC etc don't sell well just because they have a set of Mavens, they sell well because they have backup from spares, dealers, replacement parts 5 years later, they sponsor athletes, teams etc, so they're a 'known' brand.
The Amflow bike currently has none of that... maybe one day they will and maybe they'll be in the ball park then even if they don't have the most powerful motor.
DJI is coming in for the lowest common denominator, they've gone straight for the middle aged middle incomed blokes who want to go out, turbo the crap out of their bikes as fast as possible, then go sink a beer afterwards.
What's going to happen in the future, i have no clue.... But they're not on my list of bikes to buy/own.
Regarding which one i'd buy... The simple answer is, i'm not their target market. I'd rather they made it with a DJI motor and 60Nm but doubling the range, then i'd look and think "mmmmmm" but a 120nm motor is sod all use to me.
Obviously still most people haven’t ridden the Amflow, at 1000 miles in now and it’s still great, handling is on a par with my Rise and range is crazy, but then I’m not an Middle Ages middle incomed bloke who turbos the crap out of everything. Well I’m two of those…60 miles and 4000ft the other day returning with 30% battery.

Set it on 50% max in its App and you have double the range, what more could you want

Suspension doesn't say "less cross country", running a Fox 34 with 140mm travel or the Lyrik 35.
"Details are scarce on the model Teewing has produced, but it’s called the Turbo Force Team, and judging from the spec, it will be in the 120-140mm travel category"
Hmmm ......... You do know what the "E" in EMTB stands for ...... Right ? ..........

It really reinforces the impression that it's chinesium crap when they name it something like "Turbo Force Team".

If anyone is showing up to the trails with a Jing Ling bike like this one would really need a power boost from others to be able to run away and not become the laughing stock of the bike lads.
Jokes aside, almost everything nowadays is made in China or far east but ask yourself: how many of this things you bought and use are designed & supported from China? Like almost none. Thats were all these copy brands are lacking. It may be cool at purchase but after a short while it would burst out and the only one suffering would be the owner.
One thing that we'll known brands need to push right now is not a horsepower race, it's a bit better support and make these motors more reliable on the long run as not many people buy a new emtb as often and want to feel they've made a better investment than going this route.

Totally agree, 85-100nm is plenty anything over that is a novelty to help sell bikes. If you ride flat bike paths more power could be fun but then you don’t really need a EMTB. Brands should focus on reliability, anyone that owned a Brose or Fazua knows this.
