Hi there! The issue with the central control display crashing has been identified as a software problem. Updating to the latest firmware will resolve this issue. In addition, we are already following up on this issue by email, please rest assured that we are committed to assisting you with your concern.
This exactly, I am waiting for the motor to go in some bigger brand bikes, also hate the look of the amflow, but do like the motor. I saw Forbidden might have a dreadnought coming in the future with the dji motor, would for sure be very interested in that
My comment isn't about the Amflow (man, that thing can climb!), but about the weather. Living in Australia, we are a bit spoilt, but I take my hat off to you Brits.......... That skinny bloke on the Kenevo was almost blown off the hill! Major respect for you all 👍
Brilliant 'real world' review and ride feedback, thanks Iain, let us know how you get on. Looking froward to seeing more as it's the model I am looking to buy!
Hi Iain, great video- thanks for sharing. I haven't gone down the e- bike route yet, but have hired one for a day. One thing that was a game changer for me which I found out was, that on one of my regular climbs which has a lot of loose rock- on a normal bike- I sometimes have to choose my line carefully as I've has the back wheel spin out more than once and I've stuttered and stopped. I did the climb on the ebike on full power and to my suprise- not even being careful with my line choice, the back wheel never span out once. That's what really impressed me! I'll keep an eye out on how you get on with this bike, and I've started saving! 😄
Good solid honest review. I have been sceptical on the hype around these bikes but for someone like you thats ridden a few eebs to come back smiling says it all. Be a while for me yet as I've only just got the Whyte e160rsx and loving eeb life 🤘
@Ruffest can you properly notice a difference on the descents in terms of weight and playfulness? Obviously, it sounds like the climbs were a massive difference.
Cracking vid! Iam seriously looking at this for my next bike,but for the amount of money you pay,the paint should be of a much higher quality. Thanks for sharing,proper,real world test!
Best video out there that’s not sponsored. Shame about the paint as I thought an expensive bike would have had better quality paint and the fact the screen didn’t work. I would have been very annoyed. Good on you for going out and carrying on !
@@marklouieadame Probably. The amflow is the first one of its generation so there is bound to be some cons. However the power of the bike outweigh paint work and a simple clear wrap would solve the issue. Still a wonderful bike and the video is a true reflection/review instead of all these sponsored RUclipsrs.
Riding around with a mud/grit paste all over your legs and shoes which then rub on the frame is going to do that to the paint on any bike. It's probably just the top coat. When I had this on a new bike I rode before installing invis I used some Autoglym car polish to remove the light scratches then invisd it after and it sorted it
Awesome test ride for the bike ian, I've ridden a lot of the trails around winhill and the peak district, those trails are steep twisty tech 🤟great riding by you 👍 in the slop..
Loved seeing you ride this new bike in UK REAL WORLD winter conditions.....blowing a Gale and sloppy Mud, I'm sure no manufacturer tests there bike like this, if they did they'd know the paint finish isn't good enough and they would find out the general durability of the bikes....ie the motors ability to stop water ingress, which we a know is a worrie as owners. Oh and my last point, if manufacturers are moving to these fancy displays.... I'd like to know how durable they'll be long term as well.
Absolutely a banger of a video, wet, slippery and rough conditions, completely relatable as there are no "Finale Ligure" type dry or groomed trails on the west coast of Norway either (for the most part). Wet, muddy, steep and janky with slippery roots and sharp rocks are what we mostly have as well 😁 Would be fun to have the DJI power for the uphill on my Relay, but my office-rat legs need the workout 😅
That’s the ticket Iain, Grabbing the bars & giving it big licks TRUE GRIT mate. No frills tell it how it is well done mate. P.S when’s the legend John(free ride)getting one😂😂😂
I'm not sure how you could criticise the paint when you took it out on its first ride in wet muddy conditions, and admitted to dropping the bike on its side... Personally I would have waited until the frame was wrapped before taking it out.
Giver her a little T-Cut pal bet most of that will come out to be fair on the silver then get ya RideWrap done with the Amflow logos in black she be brand new lad !! What a bike tho , I have been choosing this or a new Vala but the motor on this thing makes it a whole new sport 😜
Excellent review and a very entertaining watch. Don't worry about the paint. So many people seem to care about how these things look when they are clean but they are never clean by definition. Just ride the thing. Paint scratches just prove you have. I ride snowboards and get so sick of listening to other boarders moaning about skiers putting poles on their board, or stone scratches, and the tiniest edge dings. My board looks ragged and my current Trek Fuel EXe also has a lot more marks than you would normally credit a 6 month old bike. I call these things "Battle scars", just like all the marks on my chins, arms and sometimes other areas. They just prove I've been having fun.
@@Ruffest It's lwan mower , ask Genesis - I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe). On a more important biking point, have you ever riden an Orbea Rise? I have thee 2022 M10 and it's the best handaling bike ive ever had. Looking at the frame silhouette, dimensions and geo on the Amflow, they look very close, mabe even a clone. I promised myself that the next ebike I buy will have a MGU but these are sorely tempting.
Looks like great British weather! I miss that.... NOT! LOL. Can't get the Amflow in the US yet. Hopefully, but the time it comes here the bugs will be worked out.
As someone who paints bikes for a living, it's more likely either too thin clearcoat or simply something wrong i.e. it hasn't cured properly. That said, no paint is scratch resistant, go drive you car into a hedge and see if it comes out scratch free 😅
An observation that no one seems to have mentioned is that even without a working display , you still rode it and to be honest it didnt seem to affe t your ride no hqving q display. Many bikes come without displays anyway. Giant trance, reign, orbea etc. Looks an epic ride was had without the dispaly 😀
Guessing you couldn’t connect your phone as well? You could check battery and mode etc on that? I’ve found the battery use pretty bad, did 15km in trail mode with it set to 90nm and it used 50% of the battery, total ascent was 481 metres!🤷🏼♂️ It is crazy powerful, definitely need to recalibrate my riding.
Yeah phone wouldn't connect. It's sorted now with an update on the next vid. I'm not finding the battery usage that bad to be fair. I think it's about right you just get used to turbo 😂 if I went round with my kenevo at the same power then I think that would be low too 👍
Brilliant trial on that beast, They do an invis spray now Iain but you are right that paintwork is piss poor! Fingers crossed they fix the screen problem quick for you!Great viewing as always mate!
Hi Ian. I have one, had it 4 weeks only done 4 miles but waiting on ride wrap till I use it. Glad I have now looking at yours. I did have an issue with the motor stick got sorted but had to take it back the lbs and 4 hour round trip Looks awesome tho can’t wait to give mine a blast over the Xmas hols. . I love the peaks not done half as much off piste tho. As from hull and it’s a bit of a travel over.
I'm not 100% convinced that that frame can consistently take the huge torque coming from that motor. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but another reviewer did mention some frame flex during his test.
It's a lightweight Ebike bike, it's bound to have some flex and of course they don't put kg's of paint on them as they are a lightweight bike, I bought a Cannondale Moterra SL just before the Amflow came out, i'm not regretting it as it's a great bike, but even Cannondale's legendary frame quality can't stand up to a British Winter beating, i never Ridewrap my bikes and I'm already seeing paint coming off and to be honest i don't really care, i just use them and sell them on when i get a new bike, would i probably get an Amflow in the future? Yes definitely, it's just a shame they released them after i bought my Cannondale, I'll now have to wait for V2! Thanks for the video, love riding them trails in the Peaks, great real world rider review.
I'm a taller, heavier, rider, so would likely make this frame flex more than Stretch Armstrong. Now, what would be interesting would be to see the DJI motor in a Santa Cruz Bullit.
@@Ruffest thanks mate in the new gonna have a sit on one but I am tempted…some of the trails you ride looks awesome and only live 15 mins ride from endor so they can’t be to far.
RideWrap have you covered regards the Amflow PL (pun intended). If you're having trouble finding it, at time of writing it looks like SlikGraphics have it in stock, they dispatch pretty quickly to the UK.
Apart from the obvious extra boost power which gets you up hills before your mates it looks like it performs downhill the same as lots of others in the same price range, is it that revolutionary??
@@JohnWilson-jh5iz as it didn't have the screen the power on this day was limited to what I set it at in the app the night before. 90nm the bike weighs exactly the same as my KSL 22.5 kg with big tyres inserts all that. But instead of 35nm and 500wh it has 120 in boost which I've not used and 800wh. I can tell that it's streets ahead of the specialized and I'm a big specialized fan. There's time needed on the bike for a full breakdown but it's looking good.
@@KongraDNB both Louth cycles and DJI contacted me after I posted on FB for ideas at the trail side. It was a Sunday and I couldn't ring the shop but he noticed my post. Fixed before the day end but just because it was software. Can't fault them.
Do you have a Komoot route for those trails? Really like how honest you are in this review. Often when people get something new, even if it has negatives they cover them up, but calling out the paint whilst acknowledging you love the bike is as real as it gets. It’s not really great that after one ride it looks like that invis or not, hopefully Amflow take note and look into that. But wow, what a bike, agile and the climbing ability is insane. Question is, shall I try those climbs on my non e-bike hardtail? 😂
I never invis my bikes, I don't care TBH if they get scratched etc and only add any if I start to see wear on the frame/forks from bags, shoes, cables etc. I saw one on Sunday here in the Valley, they look very short, almost 2017 short.
Looks to me like you gave it a fair old test, putting it through its paces on some of rather challenging climbs and gnarly downhill. Curious what trails you are testing on, is that the Win Hill area?
What tyres/ compounds are you running. Can’t believe how it gripped up the death climb in the wet. I thought with all the power it would spin out up stuff like that.
How does the eapc rules apply to this bike I know the 15.5 mph cut off but the output watts is hitting 1000 when the uk limit is 200 watts? According to the rules 40nm output is all your allowed unless it’s private land? I ditched my haibike after getting warned that eventually all bikes will be restricted!
I had the riot act read to me by a traffic cop who was off duty basically suggesting once the twist and go fat bikes are taken off the cities it’ll be electric dirt bikes then the unlicensed bafang kits and to get to this point all e-bikes will ultimately be hit! That’s why we sold ours plus with my kid being 12 that was an issue even tough he is a very competent rider!
@@markh2k2 he always does a lot better than me. I'm 91kg he's about 65kg. It's definitely better range than my gen 2 kenevo with 700wh. I was boosting about alot.
Looks like the motor is the big selling point, but the bike looks like its done a month at dyfi after 1 ride 😂 that paint definitely isnt the best 😮 i expected it to be abit more durable for the price of them
@@RuffestI bet it is! However, I just got a Transition Relay (alloy version), and for my trails it’s more than enough (sometimes too much power!). I can only imagine what a terrier you amflow is up the hills
I don't know who thinks it's a good idea to allow ebikes with a continuous power delivery of 850 watt and a 30 second boost of 1000 watt in a market that limits the output to 250 watt continuous,.. If hikers start to feel unsafe both in the downhill and uphill sections because ebikers keep passing them at over 25KM/H they are going to get ebikes banned, and because it's hard to ban ebikes they will ban all mountainbikes on most trails,...
Always some spanner moaning about an ebike even tho they don't even own one lol I was at the trail centre and some sausage was trying to tell me what I could have bought with the money that I spent on my ebike... You could have got a nice car. here mate I already have a nice car. Oh you could have got a motorbike mate I don't want a motorbike 🙄 while he was walking with no bike at all I guess that's why I just hate people altogether you really do get some muppets floating about

No in this instance the app would not connect. I have been informed that my firmware is not upto date so that will be my first point of call.

I never invis my bikes, I don't care TBH if they get scratched etc and only add any if I start to see wear on the frame/forks from bags, shoes, cables etc.
I saw one on Sunday here in the Valley, they look very short, almost 2017 short.
Looks to me like you gave it a fair old test, putting it through its paces on some of rather challenging climbs and gnarly downhill. Curious what trails you are testing on, is that the Win Hill area?
@@RicardoPetrazzi you got it bud.👍
Thanks for this ;)
What tyres/ compounds are you running. Can’t believe how it gripped up the death climb in the wet. I thought with all the power it would spin out up stuff like that.
@@Doyster70 Magic Mary's soft rear. Assigi front that came stock.
Didn't you have multi-tool to prise that screen out?
@@scottwitting3962 it was at work safe.
Stop with the BEEEPing.
Is that a retired Android tone?🤣 How about a "you died" Sega tone.
How does the eapc rules apply to this bike I know the 15.5 mph cut off but the output watts is hitting 1000 when the uk limit is 200 watts? According to the rules 40nm output is all your allowed unless it’s private land? I ditched my haibike after getting warned that eventually all bikes will be restricted!
250watts and it's an 'Average Output' these bikes are fully compliant with UK law. 40nm, where did that come from?
@ uk law eapc guidelines
@ i’ve not seen any mention of 40nm on the governments EAPC guidelines
@ it’s the motor output of 200 watts = 40nm of power
I had the riot act read to me by a traffic cop who was off duty basically suggesting once the twist and go fat bikes are taken off the cities it’ll be electric dirt bikes then the unlicensed bafang kits and to get to this point all e-bikes will ultimately be hit! That’s why we sold ours plus with my kid being 12 that was an issue even tough he is a very competent rider!
As it passes that test - it did - this is my next eeb. It looks like it’s perfect for our trails. Beast and Shit Bastard are the test!
@@Coolcmsc absolutely nailed every climb. Obviously I didn't put them all in but I did 4700 ft
@@Ruffest that's probably a full battery on the Whyte as well up there
@mscustomlures it performed very well as it was cold and slop. I didn't really try either 🤣
ebike. eeb is dweeb.
I would have thought the battery would have outdone a couple of years old specialized bike!?
@@markh2k2 he always does a lot better than me. I'm 91kg he's about 65kg. It's definitely better range than my gen 2 kenevo with 700wh. I was boosting about alot.
Check the plugins..
@@mtbalpinecounty it's working now. Check my vids. 👍
Which trails are these?
@@MrJlloyd1993 good ones.
@Ruffest they look good, that's why I am asking 😂😂
@MrJlloyd1993 🤣 it's in the peak District.
@@MrJlloyd1993 There's some clues in the vid. Shame they're moles from where I live, will probably never visit!
Need some Kona stickers to cover the scratches...
@@scottwitting3962 🤣
How tall are you ? What size did you get ?
@@jamesfeltham1250 large, I'm weird shaped long arms short legs. Just short of 6 foot.
29:00 you said you washed it, did you spray with hose? If so, that's how water gets in the bearings.
The whole video is how water gets in bearing mate 👍
@Ruffest Motor repair centers say hose is much worse.
@vashon100 have a look on RUclips for the amflow durability test
Looks like the motor is the big selling point, but the bike looks like its done a month at dyfi after 1 ride 😂 that paint definitely isnt the best 😮 i expected it to be abit more durable for the price of them
@@robertmartin6513 I've been told I'm hard on the bikes.
@@Ruffest😂😂😂😂😂
Got your vid playing ,Hope my don’t think I’m watching Porn with all the heavy breathing 😅
🤣
Curious how this bike is going to eat thru drivetrains…..
@@jokermtb it's worth it 😂🤯
@@RuffestI bet it is! However, I just got a Transition Relay (alloy version), and for my trails it’s more than enough (sometimes too much power!). I can only imagine what a terrier you amflow is up the hills
My word, I hope this isn't the future of mtbing
Selling the SL and the haibike? 😂
Think it’s fast 💨
@@grahamdavies5879 SL's gone 😂
@ 👌🏻
I don't know who thinks it's a good idea to allow ebikes with a continuous power delivery of 850 watt and a 30 second boost of 1000 watt in a market that limits the output to 250 watt continuous,..
If hikers start to feel unsafe both in the downhill and uphill sections because ebikers keep passing them at over 25KM/H they are going to get ebikes banned, and because it's hard to ban ebikes they will ban all mountainbikes on most trails,...
Old goats my age . Lol
Haha. Jump 2 mins if you don't have ( an e-mtb )*edit.
@@Kev2Bee yeah 🤣
Może wystarczy baterię wyciągnąć i włożyć z powrotem 😉
@@rafaon6791 I tried that 🤣
Sounds like a microwave
Thats not good about the paint job .
first!
Gayest comment ever
@@scotty-sb1403 😂 don't pick on the kids
@@scotty-sb1403 you just mad cause i beat you lol
@ na man. Just thought it was a haunting to say… it was pretty gay though wasn’t it 😂
Thats why i never will own a e bike
The lads 65 and probably out more than you mate. He's a legend and amazing climber. Don't hate.@@dangerfulmind
Always some spanner moaning about an ebike even tho they don't even own one lol I was at the trail centre and some sausage was trying to tell me what I could have bought with the money that I spent on my ebike... You could have got a nice car. here mate I already have a nice car. Oh you could have got a motorbike mate I don't want a motorbike 🙄 while he was walking with no bike at all I guess that's why I just hate people altogether you really do get some muppets floating about
I’ll never own a old push iron again after riding e-bikes
What tyres and pressures are you running in that slimy filth?? 😀
Magic Mary
so its just following the normal 'made in china' mantra of looks nice until you use it. then it breaks immeadiatly.
You know that like 95% of all the components on a mtb is from China 😄
