The Amflow TL Carbon wants to take you from the commute to the trail

An e-bike that can haul a bag to work and still feel at home on a trail sounds like a good way to avoid owning two bikes. That’s the idea behind the Amflow TL Carbon, a full-suspension electric touring bike with a carbon frame, built-in rear rack, fenders, lights, and a removable battery. It also uses the Avinox M2 drive system, which is one of the reasons this bike caught my attention.

The interesting part isn’t its peak power figure by itself. It’s how Amflow has packaged that motor into a bike meant for errands, longer rides, and rougher paths. The TL Carbon comes with an 800 Wh battery, while an optional 480 Wh secondary battery can bring total capacity to 1,280 Wh. You can remove the main battery to charge it away from the bike, a practical detail if your parking spot doesn’t have an outlet.

Price: $3,899 listed for the U.S. S/M model; L/XL price to confirm. Coming soon.

One bike, several kinds of riding

The frame weighs a stated 6.4 pounds, and Amflow lists the complete M-size bike from 49.8 pounds. That complete-bike number can change with its configuration, so I wouldn’t apply it automatically to the larger frame or a bike loaded with racks and accessories. Suspension developed with FOX provides 120 mm of travel in front and 105 mm at the rear. Those numbers put the TL Carbon in a useful middle ground: enough movement to take the edge off broken pavement and moderate trails, without making this a downhill-focused mountain bike.

The included rear rack uses the MIK HD mounting system. Amflow lists a 59-pound limit for that rack and offers a separate front rack rated for 44 pounds. Its headline 440-pound total-weight figure includes the bike, rider, and rack loads. It isn’t a 440-pound cargo allowance, and the rider limit is 275 pounds. Those distinctions become especially important if you’re thinking about bags, a child seat, or a trailer rather than riding with an empty rack.

Amflow ships the bike with fenders and lighting as well as the rear rack. The official U.S. store also lists a bottle cage, pedals, kickstand, battery lock key, and 168 W charger among the included items. That’s a helpful starting point for someone who wants to ride to work without immediately building a shopping list. I’d still check the exact box contents and accessory compatibility before ordering, particularly if carrying a child or towing a trailer is central to your plans.

The motor and battery deserve a real ride

The Avinox M2 has a rated power of 250 W, with up to 1,100 W peak output and 125 Nm of maximum torque on this bike. Peak output describes a brief capability under the right conditions, not the power it continuously delivers on every ride. The more useful questions are how naturally assistance starts, how it responds on a climb, and whether the bike remains easy to control with cargo aboard.

The standard 800 Wh battery has a claimed range of up to 106 miles. Amflow measured that on a flat paved road with a 176-pound rider in Eco mode, pedaling at 65 rpm and traveling about 13 mph. Hills, wind, speed, cargo, temperature, and assist setting will change what you actually get. The optional 480 Wh battery extends capacity, but it isn’t included in the $3,899 U.S. listing. A separately sold 600 Wh main battery is another option for riders who prefer a lighter setup.




There’s also a small piece of drivetrain cleverness here. SmoothShift can change gears without requiring you to pedal through the shift, while the motor reduces torque to ease the change. That sounds especially useful at a stoplight or on an awkward climb, though its feel under load is something a specification sheet can’t settle. The Avinox Ride app adds route import for the display, and the bike supports Apple Find My location tracking. Its offline navigation is currently a mapless route track, rather than a full offline street map.

Amflow’s U.S. store lists the TL Carbon at $3,899 for the S/M configuration and labels it “coming soon.” The June announcement said global availability was expected later in 2026; a precise U.S. delivery date isn’t listed on the product page I checked. The bike is offered in S/M and L/XL sizes, so sizing and the final configuration deserve a close look before purchase.

On paper, the TL Carbon brings together several things I want from an everyday e-bike: a battery I can take inside, proper carrying hardware, suspension for rougher routes, and a motor with plenty of headroom. The real test is whether those parts feel like one well-sorted bike once the road gets bumpy and the rack has something on it.

Amflow has offered us a review bike, but I haven’t received or ridden it yet. I want to see how it handles a real mix of commuting, carrying, and trail riding before calling it the one-bike answer.
