DJI is bringing its e-bikes to the U.S. market with a jaw-dropping price tag
DJI has been on a roll lately.
The popular consumer drone brand has expanded in recent years to feature more types of products, from gimbal cameras to wireless microphones. Despite the looming threat of a ban on DJI drones in the United States, the company has also been aggressively expanding its footprint this summer. Recently, we've seen the launch of a new power station, a rumored robot vacuum launch, and now the introduction of its Amflow e-bikes to the U.S. market.
Amflow is a DJI subsidiary that makes electronic mountain bikes. They've been available in European markets since 2024, but they've officially launched in the United States. However, they come with a vertigo-inducing price tag. The Amflow PL Carbon is priced at $7,499, and the Amflow PL Carbon Pro is priced at $10,199. You could buy a used car for the same amount.

More about DJI's Amflow mountain bikes
The Amflow mountain bikes both have an 800Wh battery with a range of 157 km. They also feature a touchscreen OLED display to provide real-time data about speed, charge, range, and other information. Users can also access an app to get summaries of their activity and other insights.
The PL Carbon mountain bikes feature a carbon fiber frame for a lightweight construction. They have five assist modes and plenty of torque for tackling steep hills and rough terrain, as well as a walk assist mode for lugging the bikes up trails.
To a non-mountain biker like myself, the specs seem strangely similar. The electric motor and charging system are identical on each bike. The biggest differences are in the rear shocks, rear derailleur, handlebars, and saddle. While the base version uses more alloys, the Pro version features more carbon fiber.
While they have a high price tag, the bikes do come with a “30-day unconditional return.”
