Amflow, the e-bike brand spun out of DJI, just announced its TL Carbon, a do-it-all “eSUV” suitable for both bikepacking adventures and dropping the kid at daycare on your cycle to work.
The TL Carbon is built around Amflow’s incredibly compact yet powerful Avinox M2 mid-drive motor. The all-terrain e-bike offers 125Nm of hill-flattening torque and up to 1100W of peak output. It supports up to 1280Wh of battery capacity when its 800Wh removable battery is paired with a 480Wh extender. You can even opt for a hub that charges up to four batteries sequentially.
This sport-tourer comes standard with mudguards, integrated lights, and a rear rack supporting up to 27kg, with the option to add a front rack to haul another 20kg. The rear rack is MIK HD-compatible allowing you to quickly attach everything from a child seat to panniers or a bike trailer for the family dog, while the front fork, rear suspension, and wide knobby tires help soak up trail ruts and potholes. The Amflow TL Carbon’s total weight capacity goes up to 200kg (440lbs) from a bike that can be configured to weigh as little as 22.6kg (50lbs) — that’s very light for a full-suspension utility bike.
The Amflow TL Carbon also features electronic shifting that detects gear-shift signals to smoothly shift the cassette without the rider needing to pedal. It also works on steep hills by reducing torque during a gear shift to minimize shock and protect the chain.
Rounding out a long, long list of features is Apple Find My integration to help locate a stolen bike, heart rate sensor integration that delivers the appropriate pedal assist to keep the rider in their target heart rate zone, and integration with DJI’s Osmo cameras so you can control recordings directly from the e-bike’s display.
None of this will come cheap: in Europe, it’ll be priced at €3,499, or £3199 in the UK. US pricing is still TBD, as are all shipping dates for the new Amflow TL Carbon that will be “available globally later this year.”
