Is DJI going to shake up the industry? Let us know what you think in the comments 👇

[@MatthewMabborang]

DJI? Do you mean the Drone and Action Camera company? 😱

[@gsbeak]

With no gearbox it's just a new motor as so many already exist.

[@jokermtb]

If they make it user serviceable too, then they'll really have to ramp up production x10

[@johngreason9964]

Dji and the MGM motors are bombshells surely, that 800 battery and its high density is truly remarkable. However. ZF. ZF is a Pandora that every motor manufacturer may wish was never let of the box. That oil bathed clutched motor, I have a feeling that's only merely a sample of what they're really working on. If you knew, first hand, what ZF is capable of in the automotive industry. Then you know what's coming.

[@wolfrikvonschwarzblut3921]

When ZF decides to put all of its expertise in automotive gearboxes into developing a motor and gearbox unit for e-bikes, they will surely give Pinion a run for their money.

That's a beautiful bike! For sure what the industy needs, a lightweight eMTB with tons of power and a large capacity battery. Hope the price for a complete bike is somewhat reasonable, and not the 10,000 dollar pricetag manufacturers are trying to get us accustomed to nowadays...

I feel like the emtb industry is about to move into a new era of really clever small yet powerful motors - and can you please ask if consumers can repair their own motors yet?

[@tamasvarga67]

You can be 100% sure that these motors won’t be user repairable and they shouldn’t. But companies should offer refurbished motors at a fair price that would be OK.

[@tamasvarga67]

@@ericmin7645 Are the motors in a Tesla (or any EV) user repairable or should they be? Will you buy the equipment (special tools, diagnostic software etc.) to do the repair or you expect the fist sized 90Nm motor to be repairable with a screwdriver and an Allen key?

[@macfawlty]

I own several drones and other cameras from DJI and what’s certain is that this is guaranteed to be a game changer for the MTB industry. It may be expensive to start, but DJI has a history of high value, descending prices, continuity of product offerings at various price points and general awesomeness.

[@johnreese3762]

Another great one, thanks Steve!!

[@wolfrikvonschwarzblut3921]

ZF need to start working on a motor-gearbox combo like Pinion's. Their transmissions are legendary in the auto industry, so they surely have the know-how for such a project. The only other such system that I can think of is Valeo's Effigear, and that only has 6 speeds.

[@gsum1000]

The DJI bike looks excellent. I wonder whether DJI will incorporate some basic 'follow me' drone controls into the bike software. The flimsy 12 speed drivetrain should be pretty snappy with 120 Nm plus rider input going through it. Expect to spend a lot of money on chains and cassettes - or move to 9 speed.

[@ioandragulescu6063]

ZF is known for making good transmissions so hopefully all the gears and internals are top notch.

[@alexrankin]

Big job on for Steve and the team. Great content thanks

[@robrider838]

Same power as my Rocky, but 10 lbs lighter. If this thing comes to market it will be a game changer.

[@chassdesk]

Super nice to see more competition, would have like to seen them launch a gear box motor.

[@Roaming50]

The DJI looks impressive but it still looks large and screams eMTB. I want more stealth so actually the smaller MGM and ZF motors are more interesting. I was thinking of getting a Fazua Ride 60 bike but now thinking I may do better to wait another season or two on my Rise before getting a newer eMTB.

[@trevelynsurfnelson193]

I just bought a Spectral ON CF 8 I thought I loved it... am I always going to be behind the 8 ball with the rapid Tech advances. This is just like getting a computer in the 90's, only to have it outdated in 2 months..... do we think this will ever level off?

Depends entirely on price. I dont need more power. I need cheaper ebikes.

[@chillstep4life]

It probably wont be cheap. But if its priced competitively it will already help to drive down prices of the competition, because I dont think very many EMTB can compete with those feature sets

[@octaviannitra1845]

It’s easier to build a couple of top bikes than mass produce decent bikes. See what Tesla has been through. But considering the ever increasing cost of living it’s a good point.

[@TheAegisClaw]

@@chillstep4life and yet it's a company that is built on taking drone tech down to an accessible price that no competitor can get even close to.

[@aliancemd]

With Chinese government covering a lot of the costs, including shipping costs, it should be able to undercut the other manufacturers which don’t have a government behind them

[@paradox963]

If a company really wants to shake up the ebike industry, they should come out with a motor system that will fit existing Shimano and bosh frame mounting points, so people could swap there existing system for a new one without having to buy a hole new bike.

[@tim__sadler]

Given the questions about servicing and reliability which often pop up around ebike motors and components (particularly in climates like the UK), it will be the companies who offer support who will succeed in the long run - so regardless of features, how can the new entrants to the market (like DJI) provide the after-market support required to built a consumer base with the bike industry already under so much strain?

If their drone servicing and after-care support with DJI Care is anything to go by, it'll be top tier.

[@racocook6449]

Hi guys, this is the most technical Steve has ever been motor wise for sure. The DJI Amflow is driving a derailleur having its 100th anniversary so you still have to put up with a tail end chain breaker and clagg hunter. It is surely time to change to a Shimmy 11 speed or similar, don't go for a belt option on a EMTB it collects mud faster than a hippo!

[@grantnewby3756]

You need to introduce DJI to Pinion and we have the future of E Bikes on their way. If they can do what they have to the drone industry in terms of size and power of drone motors and batteries then we have a free thinking company out of left field who can truly be a game changer. Just like Pinion. Not the the same old bike transmission companies playing around with cassettes and materials trying to save weight and producing weak and expensive parts not fit for purpose. Bring it on.

In regards to DJI, I really want to try one out. Too bad they did not release the motor with a few other companies. I really enjoy the whole ecosystem compared to the industry. I believe this innovation foreshadows the release of some new products from the other motor manufacturers. If DJI makes the decision to Sell their products globally, this surge in interest within SL bikes will be rewarding for them. If they can keep production up and support their electronics system, this will be a hot item.
