Dronemaker DJI will launch a surprisingly new product on the market on July 3rd, called DJI Avinox. Contrary to what one would expect, this time it is not a drone, but it is mistaken for a powertrain for electric bicycles (e-bikes). This hint was given in a recent announcement on social media, where the name was also called amflow bikes.
Power your Ride
The name āAvinoxā does not come out of the blue for insiders. In September last year, this name already appeared in a Chinese brand name database. At the time, it was assumed that it would be a new drone or perhaps a new FPV glasses, although a link was also made with DJIās automotive activities. Then it remained quiet around the name Avinox.
Now that will change. DJI has placed a teaser online announcing that a new product will be launched under the name Avinox on July 3, in collaboration with or under the Amflow Bikes brand. However, this (company) name yields few hits in Google, other than a trademark registration. The animation and slogan āPower your Rideā suggest that it is an electric powertrain for e-bikes. This would allow DJI to enter a completely new market.
Brushless engines
It is still unclear what product it will be and what the added value of DJI is in this. However, DJI has built up a lot of expertise in the development of powerful, brushless stepper motors for the drive of both small and large drones. The company may now want to use this knowledge to tap into a new product segment, a segment that is also less susceptible to cyber security problems.
What do you think DJI will come up with on July 3rd?

On first sights when I see this & watched the clip over & over again, had it not been something to do with DJI the short clip reminded me of the crank case / clutch cover on a motocross bike, yes I know itās nothing to do with that just reminded me of the motocross days,
Surely they wouldnāt bring out an e bike like the likes of Surron, I doubt they would but if they did it would most certainly be very very expensive .

ā¦and track all your bike movements and send all that GPS data to China too

Looking at the short video, whatever it is, itās small, with a gearing system in it.
So it could be anything.
Perhaps itās another smart home device, that counts the number of toilet paper sheets are left on the roll, so you never run out.
But what they arenāt telling you, is they are tracking all your bowel movements, by counting how many times the big roll rotates on the spindle and the sending all that shite data to all the governments across the world, (who have raised concerns about the data from their drones being used by the Chinese Military), in an hope to crash their IT infrastructures.

Why is there all this concern about DJI tracking us?
Smart phones have been with us for over ten years and they record everything we do.
Facebook has been recording our data for twenty years, this year.
Ask yourself what percentage of people on this planet fly drones compared to those using smart phones and Facebook?
(Please donāt work this out)
Because the number will poles apart .
Iāve carried 2 smart phones for years, (work & personal), so Iāve been giving double data to every one 
Itās too late now anyway, because our data for the last 10-15 years is everywhere already.
Apologies for going off topic, Iāll shut up now

Looks just like the tongsheng motor on my e-bike conversion, probably twice the price if DJI involved 
Yeah but they were pretty honest about it, DJI were not
