#220kg? Actual trail riders spend hundreds to thousands shaving grams off their bikes. I think this is just another attempt to break e-bikes away from being a distinct product, to keep the "e" an optional upgrade to whatever bike the customer already owns.

#3It’s hardly state of the art at this point. There’s lighter and more efficient drivetrains from Shimano bosch and many others.

#4I don't know that I see anything revolutionary? The peak power seems maybe higher than Bosch CX at 850W vs 600 but continuous power is similar 250W. 800Wh max battery pack size is also not entirely out of the ordinary. The packaging seems nice, the battery seems quite slim and integrate well into ordinary-looking downtube on the Amflow bike - but don't see much otherwise. Weight seems on the high side.

Get into as many markets as possible so it becomes harder for the US to ban you outright.

Actual trail riders mostly do not do this. Source: worked at a bike store. People with a lot of money that treat their bike as something to optimize and not something to ride do this. I'm not saying its wrong, its just another way of being a bike enthusiast, but this type rarely overlaps with serious riders. Training improves performance, not $3000 wheels that shave off 50 grams.

Agreed. For most people it would be more reasonable to lose the three-four kg in body fat and keep the aluminium frame rather than upgrading to carbon fibre.

Isn't this about e-bikes? Do people generally train on e-bikes? It feels that these two would be distinct sets.

#10The product page has a lot more info and photos: https://www.dji.com/global/avinox
The screen/computer part seems to be significantly nicer than competition.
