DJI further diversifies from drones with the Avinox e-bike drive system

<p>With a US ban of its hyper-popular drones <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://apnews.com/buyline-shopping/article/dji-drone-ban-in-the-us">more likely than not[/url], DJI has been diversifying into products that won't be affected by the <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/2864">Countering CCP Drones Act[/url], like <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/djis-new-backup-battery-can-power-small-appliances-charge-your-drone-130037610.html">backup batteries[/url]. Now the company is entering the e-bike arena with the Avinox Drive System that will go up against the likes of Bosch, Bafang, Shimano and SRAM.</p>
<p>The Avinox system promises a relatively light 2.52 kg (5.6 pound) weight (5.39 kg including the batteries), while offering up to 105Nm (850W) of peak torque/power and 600Wh or 800Wh battery options. It uses GaN 3x fast charging tech, so the 800Wh battery can be charged from 0 to 75 percent in 1.5 hours. A planetary gearset and polymer gears allow for a balance of size, weight and power output, along with a quiet ride, according to DJI.</p>

<p>The system offers four standard riding assist modes, Auto, Eco Trail and Turbo, along with a Boost mode for extra power when required. The Auto mode uses what DJI calls &quot;multi-sensor fusion&quot; to continuously adjust assistance based on riding resistance.</p>
<p>Avinox includes a two-inch OLED full-color touchscreen display to control the assist modes and display pertinent information. It allows riders to connect their smartphones to access features like security, data recording, sharing and real-time bike status/location. You can also use the app to access and customize assist levels and parameters.</p>
<p>Finally, it comes with dual Wireless Controllers with Bluetooth connectivity for a &quot;clutter-free handlebar setup,&quot; the company wrote. The Avinox system appears to out-spec <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://www.mbr.co.uk/buyers_guide/best-ebike-motor-388838">some popular systems[/url] from Bosch, Shimano, Brose and others thanks to the lower weight, extra torque and higher-capacity batteries.</p>

<p>It'll first appear with a new bike brand called Amflow, which is launching the new PL model weighing in at 19.2kg (42 pounds) — on the low-end for electric mountain bikes (eMTBs). The Amflow PL also includes a four-bar linkage structure and &quot;cutting-edge geometry,&quot; a rear shock co-tuned with FOX, and an SRAM rear derailleur.</p>
<p>As for the US ban on DJI's drones, the Countering CCP Drones Act has passed through Congress as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.  It's now <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://apnews.com/buyline-shopping/article/dji-drone-ban-in-the-us">set to be reviewed[/url] by the Senate and if approved, would likely be signed into law by President Biden. In a counterpoint article, DJI <a data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1" href="https://viewpoints.dji.com/blog/get-the-facts-countering-ccp-drones-act">wrote[/url]: &quot;This act damages not just DJI, but also the broad ecosystem of operators, businesses and public safety agencies that rely on their technologies to conduct safe and efficient operations.&quot;</p>
<p>DJI's Avinox Drive system will be sold only to manufacturers, so no retail price is available. The Amflow eMTB doesn't have an exact price yet, but will be sold for between €7,000 and €12,000 ($7,500 and $12,850) in Europe. It's due to be released in Q4 2024 &quot;through authorized dealers in Germany, the UK and Australia, amongst others,&quot; the company said.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/dji-further-diversifies-from-drones-with-the-avinox-e-bike-drive-system-070043218.html?src=rss
