The Avinox motor has landed in Australia, and it is already changing how e-MTBs are spec'd
A new motor platform arrives
DJI's e-bike division, Avinox, launched its second generation drive units in April 2026: the M2 and the flagship M2S. The M2S peaks at 1,500W with 150Nm of torque, and the M2 tops out at 1,100W and 125Nm, well ahead of the usual 600 to 850W peak figures from established players like Bosch, Shimano and Brose. It has been called one of the biggest e-MTB motor stories of the year by industry outlets, and Australian buyers can now ride one in a showroom rather than just read about it overseas.
Who is selling it here
Two brands have brought Avinox powered bikes to Australia so far. Amflow, DJI's own e-MTB label, lists the PR Carbon from $6,999 through Electric Bikes Brisbane, running the standard M2 motor with a removable 800Wh battery built for riders who also travel or mix in gravel and rail trail riding, while the sharper PX Carbon and PX Carbon Pro run the M2S at $9,999 and $13,999. Orbea has fitted the flagship M2S to its redesigned Wild LT range, with Australian pricing running from $9,999 for the entry H20 up to $20,999 for the top spec M LTD RS, based on current listings from Dutch Cargo and Electric Bikes Brisbane. Both brands are being sold through specialist e-MTB retailers rather than general bike shops, so availability outside Queensland and a handful of online dealers is still patchy.
What it means for buyers
Extra motor power is legal off road, since the 250W and 25km/h road rules only apply to bikes ridden on public roads and paths, not on private trail networks. But more power usually means a heavier bike, a bigger battery to manage, and a drivetrain built for serious terrain rather than commuting. Anyone comparing e-MTBs on BikeFinder should weigh peak power against real world range, weight and local service support, not just the headline wattage. With more than 60 brands signed up to use Avinox motors globally, expect the list of Australian available bikes running this platform to grow through the rest of 2026.
