Could be for a hardtail, reach will increase at sag. Certainly seems too large on paper for someone at 5'10".

Had a go of Amflow Pro at Glentress today running NZ firmware so speed limit raised to 28mph, mental on the uphills on Spooky wood climb I'm sure I saw 20mph+Battery life was excellent recon it could do four full red route runs comfortably.
Not sure the frame/suspension is up to the weight/speeds felt my Ibis Ripmo was better handling and absorbing the landings/bumps but I must have been doing a good 10mph + for the full run so not sure what a Ripmo would fell like at the same speeds as I'm not fit enough
Sold me on the motor just need more bikes to come out with it as I recon there will be a better handling one.
28mph! Is that legal?!
Want.

Not legal on the roads, think it is fine for off road use but don't quote me on that.
Damn, wonder if Bosch etc will change the speed limits to keep up with Dji then. Though I also wonder if unlocking the speed limit will cause other problems too, with complaints or further laws..

You can also up the speed limit on Bosch motors, dealers remote in and put another countries firmware on it.
DJI are leaving it open deliberately as all you need to do is VPN to another country when updating the bikes firmware, the bike has GPS built in so if they wanted to they could lock it down that way.
Once someone has a bad accident on one on a normal trail centre might get clamped down on. In saying that on the steeper trails not unusual to be doing over 28mph on a normal bike in sections.

Yeah I'm aware that can be done, just be nice if it was OEM - so therefore covered in warranty if anything goes wrong.

Would be interesting to see how it goes claiming after running non UK firmware, still firmware that they offer warranty on so they might not care.
Decision is harder now local bike shop has a Amflow Pro in stock in my size. Would be next year realistically for any other brand.

I have been riding it on trails and my office commutes and I am getting more used to it, changed the handlebar grips and my wrists feel a lot better
Just need a removable pannier rack for my commuting so my I don't have to carry everything in my backpack or might invest in a saddle bag and frame bag
Did a schoolday Bike park wales trip yesterday.
Got DH mode to work. It did get a bit confused on one bit of the uplift.
It also records all jumps, not sure how it does that. I cleared the qualifier gap jump for A470 with ease and did the whole run for the first time which im pretty happy with. Didnt try the Martian

My 530 and 1050 have always recorded jumps.
I ended up using my 530 anyway seemed more sensible than using the 1050 for bike parks.
I did start it at the top. Seemed to work. Cant remember if i played with it inbetween. I must admit as someone who has never used one. I dont find it that intuitive. Been a lot of trial and error for me.
But its much better at recording these things compared to my phone.

I just started and stopped after each run.
I did think about that but then thought whats the point of it recognizing uplift.
I did stop for lunch the above image was the mornings runs. Gimmick to be sure as Strava was still complaining about part of the run being motorized. Starting and stopping would fix that.

I bought an extra powertube 500 for mine but now I have another dilemma, how would I transport it?
I bought it so i had 1 battery to cycle to and back from my local (leeds) bike park, and 1 full battery to use at the bike park but how would i safely carry the extra one without it getting damaged? It would be going over bumps and ramps and hills, lots of rocky terrain and potential for falling.
would it be safe to the battery (and my back) to carry it in my backpack, or perhaps a frame bag to mount on the bike?

Backpack. Can't fall out and unless you fall off you aren't going to do any damage - but where are you going to store the battery and backpack whilst you are riding?
But how far is your 'local' bikepark that you need a whole charge worth of battery to get there and back?

I can cycle to my "local" trails and back and be on 30%+ when I get home and its a 50km loop.
Do you need a full battery for Leeds? I done 4 full runs of glentress on 40% last week too (forgot to charge the bike

That’s pretty impressive, what’s the size of your battery and which motor? And do you ride your trails on one of the higher settings?
Mine is a 500wh bosch power tube with a Bosch cx performance motor, I myself weight around 109kg and will be normally carrying a medium sized bag, the bike park is around 10 miles up hilly terrain for me and then 10 miles back, as I don’t actually live in Leeds
My work commute is around 13 miles one way and in one of the lower (Touring) modes my battery is on 2 and a half bars left when I get home, and the bike itself is quite heavy
750w and gen 4 bosch.
Ah yeah, the hills will destroy it. I assumed you were commuting from the city.
I did cycle there yesterday and did half an hour on the trails but started getting really windy and dark so headed back, bike park are a lot more fun when the weather is nice
There and back and a half an hour on the trails and only had 1 and a half bars left on my battery, think the extra battery was a good investment
