Check this video out:

I've not got any real experience on other e-MTB's but the way the Amflow delivers power is pretty amazing in that it delivers the power when you ask for it, not when you don't need it. Personally I ride in the default Auto mode on tarmac, and mostly Trail mode when on trails. I've never once felt the need to use the boost mode but I am tempted to play with setting up a mode to use the Motor Overrun feature for more technical uphills.

It sounds like you can do what i was wondering about in the final section of the video, but the graph being shown doesn't change. 🤔

All the Specialized bikes do this and I'm pretty sure most of the others do too. You can set what Eco, Trail and Turbo are with the amount of power and how much it responds to your input.

You just slide the power setting to where you want it.

Almost all pedal assist ebikes have a torque sensor in them, and they can detect how much input you are putting in. You can set it up with minimal assistance unless you put a lot of effort in and it will increase the motor power accordingly.
It's a pretty neat feature.

Pretty sure my Giant bike is tuneable like this - through the app has been for a while - last model was the same
 
Norco Sight VLT TQ.. (Thanks for moving to correct thread :) )
TQ HPR60, 60Nm/350W/580Wh, high pivot, 20kg, 150/160mm

Norco Sight VLT TQ - Gen 5

All the confidence and ability to handle rough terrain of the Sight, in our lightest mid-power all-mountain eMTB yet. Sight VLT TQ is a nimble and natural-feeling eMTB to confidently push your limits. Go on longer rides and charge harder with no extra weight, no extra noise, just the good stuff.

Wait, there's gonna be an orange-ish model, with DVO squish, and its not coming here? Well between that and the stupid logo placement, :mad:
 
I kinda like the simple boring looks, mid power... but... is it just outclassed by lighter mid travel/power bikes?

1 model only here suggests they're not confident it will sell?

If you want to beat the Amflows you just need some e-legs.

I actually own a set of the Hypershell Exoskeleton "e-legs"... and they are bloody brilliant. I use them mostly for extending the length of walks and hikes I do. I haven't got around to trying them out on the bike yet. The biggest issued I have with mine is getting them to fit tightly enough so as not to slide down my bum.
Before you accuse me of being a lazy bugger... I have Parkinson's Disease and have lost a lot of the strength in my legs.
It is cool to see Chinese companies producing some things that, wouldn't have a hope in hell of being made here in Australia.
There is at least an Australian supplier/importer now based in Sydney.

No Parkinson shaming! (Feel free to PM me your source of pinge... I mean dopamine replacement.)

How long have you had them?

I have dreams on doing some big walks in the future with my kids, and these could be super handy.

New Levo R.
Not sure who they are marketing this one to. It's has less travel but isn't all that light.

I'm certain that E-bikes will follow the current trend of shorter travel bikes and this makes a lot of sense.

A heavy bike with 170-180mm travel and associated wheelbase is overkill for 85% (probably more) of E-bikers.
Why not go for sharper handling and still have the stability associated with the weight.

Very few e-bikers are using their E-bike to shuttle DH tracks, if Specialized could just get them to try something like this new model, they would swiftly realise it
