Ride Review

June 2026 saw the release of 3 new Amflow bikes, all powered by DJI’s cutting-edge Avinox M2S and M2 motors. By securing exclusive rights to these two motors, Avinox has bypassed the usual growing pains that new market entrants face when competing with legacy eMTB brands.

The irrefutable fact in the micromobility industry is that it is no longer a hobby or a niche community. Electric motors deliver instant torque, sometimes as high as 120 Nm. That torque, combined with the increased chassis weight from motors and batteries, means a faster tyre wear rate.

If you’re even moderately interested in bicycles, e-scooters, e-bikes, or eMTBs, chances are your algorithm has served you clips of a thief angle‑grinding their way into an expensive vehicle, only for the owner to return to a pile of steel where their pride and joy once stood. This phenomenon is a testament to the evolution of micromobility. It is no longer a simple transit alternative but a high‑value commodity, often targeted by criminal syndicates for resale or stripped for expensive parts and metals.

Being super cautious, your helmet is the single most important piece of hardware you’ll buy for an e-bike. But, more than likely, your standard bicycle lid isn’t up to the task of protecting you when we’re dealing with speeds of up to 25 kph in the UK and the EU, or 25 mph in the US. At those speeds, the physics of a crash change dramatically, for the worse.
