Extraordinary account of DJI Amflow sales from these 2 bike shops in Wales. One has about 60% ebike sales in general, and of that, in the past year 60% have been Amflow/DJI bikes! Both shops say the huge Amflow sales have pretty much single handed saved their businesses from going under in the post Covid world wide bike slump. But also the communication with DJI has been excellent and the motors seem impressively robust - One shop said of all the Amflow bikes sold only 4 came back with motor issues. And that's in mountainous rainy Wales. At my own dealer where I bought my Vado SL, a mechanic there last year said that roughly 40 to 50% of Specialized emtbs had warranty returns.
Spesh must be furious that the new Levo Gen 4 was a year late and all the Amflow sales they have potentially missed. Plus the ongoing problems with the Brose motor. It's costing them dear. The fact a lot of Amflow buyers are also new to ebikes reminds me of the sales of Teslas (before the boss went all drugged up & fascist) and the iPhone, cutting through to the general population where other brands haven't. It's only a snapshot of 2 local bike shops but if this is the case elsewhere, traditional brands will be in trouble.
