Using Amflow's 2A/508W GaN charger, the 800Wh battery can charge from 0% to 75% in just 1.5 hours.

- 2-inch color OLED touchscreen display

Pricing and Availability
DJI expects to ship the Amflow PL in Q4 2023. Pricing is estimated between €7,000 and €12,000 ($7,500 to $12,850), positioning it as a premium offering in the e-bike market.
Initial availability will be through authorized dealers in Germany, the UK, and Australia, with other markets likely to follow.
Market Impact
With its entry into the e-bike sector, DJI is poised to challenge established players like Bosch and Specialized. The company's reputation for innovation in the drone market, combined with the impressive specs of the Amflow PL, suggests that DJI could become a significant force in the high-end e-bike segment.
As the lines between traditional tech companies and e-mobility providers continue to blur, DJI's expansion marks an exciting development for consumers seeking cutting-edge transportation solutions.
