Amflow's DJI-backed e-bike tackles dual duty: commute and wilderness in one frame

Amflow's new TL Carbon e-bike represents a push to merge two opposing use cases: daily city riding and rough terrain exploration. The DJI offshoot, which disrupted mountain biking with tiny, high-output Avinox motors, equipped the TL Carbon with dual suspension, wide all-terrain tires, integrated fenders, and cargo racks. A tester spent a month putting the bike through its paces across Amsterdam's urban streets and beyond, including a three-day bikepacking journey along coastal routes. The eSUV category—electric bikes claiming versatility across pavement, gravel, and dirt—has attracted growing interest as riders seek fewer, more capable machines. Amflow's entry leverages its motor expertise to address weight and power trade-offs that plague hybrid e-bikes.
