Amflow - The new era of lightweight power eMTBs
The Amflow brand stands for a revolutionary approach to e-mountain bikes: maximum power, low weight, smart connectivity - in short: a bike experience that feels like "flow" in its purest form.
If you are looking for the next level in E-MTBs - with a focus on technology, riding feel and design - then Amflow is a brand you should know.
Brand philosophy and development approach
Amflow deliberately started with the motor in mind: instead of designing the frame first, Amflow focussed on the drive unit first - and then developed everything else around it.
The result: a bike that not only delivers performance, but also feels more natural to use. At Amflow, we speak of the "flow state " - the state when instinct takes over and bike and rider become one.
Amflow also favours a clear combination of lightness and high support - in other words, not one at the expense of the other. According to the brand communication: "Powerful lightness for the ultimate flow".
Technology & innovation - what makes Amflow special?
Some key data that clearly show what the brand is all about:
- Avinox M1 Drive Unit: The drive unit (on the Amflow PL models) delivers 105 Nm of torque, for example - and combines this with a total bike weight of around 19.2 kg and a battery capacity of up to 800 Wh.
- Quick-charging function: The battery can be charged to 75% in around 1.5 hours on many models - thanks to the 12 A / 508 W charger.
- Connectivity: Integrated display, smartphone app, anti-theft functions, customised riding mode settings.
- Frame geometry & chassis: High-quality carbon or aluminium frames, modern geometries, flip-chip options, large tyre clearance, etc.
These technical values show that Amflow has not just added another e-MTB to its programme - but a concept that redefines many boundaries.
Model overview - What can you expect?
The central model range is called Amflow PL - e.g. "Amflow PL Carbon", "Amflow PL Carbon Pro". Other models may follow, but the focus is currently clearly on this series.
In detail:
- Amflow PL Carbon (e.g. with 800 Wh battery) - long range, light overall weight.
- Amflow PL Carbon Pro - even higher quality equipment (e.g. FOX Factory, SRAM X0 Eagle etc.).
- Variants with 600 Wh or 800 Wh battery - depending on budget and usage profile.
- Plus accessory and upgrade options such as Smart Display, app integration, etc.
Areas of use - For whom and for what?
Amflow is aimed at riders who are ambitious on the road. Here is an overview:
- Trail & Enduro: If you are looking for challenging trails, technical descents and steep climbs - this is where Amflow shows its strengths.
- Tour & multi-day use: Thanks to its high battery capacity, low weight and modern technology, it is also ideal for long tours or bikepacking.
- Sporty riders with high standards: If you don't just want "an E-MTB", but a high-end bike with innovation.
- Tech-savvy: If you value smart features, connectivity, app control and lightweight - then Amflow is an exciting brand.
Frame & geometry - noticeable quality
Amflow attaches great importance to riding culture: carbon frame with high-quality lay-up, modern geometries (e.g. slack steering angle for stability, sensitive rear triangle for control).
One example: the carbon frame weighs just 2.27 kg on average - this shows how consistently Amflow combines lighter weight with performance.
Flexibility is also a top priority: Some models allow you to switch between 29″ and 27.5″ wheels using a flip-chip - without compromising the riding geometry.
Ride feel - this is what Amflow feels like
What do you feel when you ride an Amflow?
- Direct & agile: The low mass and high stiffness ensure that you feel the bike's movements immediately - ideal on the trail.
- Powerful & supported: The motor delivers efficient power without being intrusive - pedalling remains natural.
- Light & controlled: Despite the assistance, the bike does not feel clunky or sluggish, but agile and light-footed.
- High-tech meets nature: Features such as app control or anti-theft are there - but the riding experience remains the centre of attention.
Advantages & possible limitations
Advantages:
