Amflow TL Carbon e-bike bridges commuting and trail riding with compromises
The reviewer tested the Amflow TL Carbon eSUV (electric SUV) e-bike, a crossover designed to transition between urban commuting and off-road trails—a growing category with manufacturers including Canyon, Specialized, and Riese & Müller. Whilst the €3,499 bike successfully performs in both environments, the review confirms that meaningful compromises exist between the two roles.
The 19.2kg bike features the Avinox M2 motor delivering 125Nm of torque and 1100W maximum output, paired with an 800Wh removable battery. During a 170km bikepacking trip through the Netherlands (70% asphalt, 20% gravel, 10% single-track), the battery proved remarkably efficient, achieving 7.58Wh per kilometre—on the reviewer's longest day, they rode 82.3km whilst carrying 20kg of gear and arrived with 22% charge remaining. The removable battery can be charged in cafés, bars, or homes, offering practical advantages over models with integrated batteries.
