is it in fact true that u can use a phone vpn to simply set the dji system to new zealand location? if yes will it just hold that setting? does the system have a gps within it that it can use to determine its location on its own?

Yes. The bike uses the phone's VPN region when you pair it to the bike, to set the bike's region. It doesn't use the GPS.

Once paired, the bike will hold that region, unless you unpair it from the phone, and re-pair it, with the phone connected to a different region.

Discussion of why you would do this, should only be discussed in the Amflow de-restriction thread.

Why would anyone want to do that 🤔☺️
Because its FUN! I can't think of another reason to ride this thing... outside of fitness and a good workout.

The pairing to NZ does derestrict speed--I got up to 32mph! However, at least in the US, you cannot enable cloud services via the 4G SIM card. I had to pair the bike back to a US server to get the cloud services to work.

Why do need cloud to go for a ride ?
Edit serious question!
I’m assuming it’s a “nice to have” rather than a “must have”, but if I remember correctly it also has some inbuilt features that only work if connected to the network (GPS navigation?)

The main benefit of the cloud services is tracking your bike if it’s stolen. It also automatically uploads your ride data to Strava. If I find I need more than 20mph on the trail I can always derestrict to NZ for a few days.
