Introduction

An eBike, or Electric Bicycle, is a traditional bicycle enhanced with a battery, motor, and electronic control system. eBikes are known for being energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and convenient for short-distance travel. They are particularly popular in European and American markets, where they are regarded as an important mode of transportation for short trips. As the world moves towards reducing carbon emissions and adopting electric vehicles, the eBike industry is expected to experience rapid growth. ChargerLAB has got that DJI has introduced an electric bike assist system that utilizes GaN fast charging, with a maximum power of 508W. The system's 800Wh battery can be charged from 0% to 75% in just about 1.5 hours.

DJI Avinox Drive System

DJI boldly enters a new domain with the Avinox Drive System for e-bikes. Designed with an unwavering commitment to technological excellence and uncompromising performance, Avinox empowers riders to tackle complex rides with ease.

Drive Unit

Powerful drive, unfazed by any terrain. The palm-sized Avinox Drive Unit weighs just 2.52 kg (5.5 lbs), yet it still delivers a powerful 105 N·m of torque. This ensures abundant power when it's needed most, allowing riders to adapt seamlessly to even the most challenging scenarios.

With an innovative compound planetary gearset, the gearbox's compact internal layout produces a high gear ratio within a minimal space. This allows for a revolutionary balance of Drive Unit size, weight, and power output, enabling both high torque and low weight for an Avinox-equipped bike.

Battery System

The Avinox Drive System offers two battery options—600 Wh and 800 Wh. The batteries are lightweight and compact, which helps to keep overall bike weight low. They boast ultra-high energy density and large capacity, not only facilitating extended range, but also delivering the power required for effortless adaptation to dynamic conditions.

Both batteries feature an IP56 protection rating, and a battery health management system that supports self-discharge, real-time health assessments and alerts, and active voltage reduction. These help to extend battery life (batteries maintain 80% of initial capacity even after 500 charge cycles), ensuring greater safety and durability.

Utilizing GaN fast charging technology with a max rate of 508W, the 800Wh battery can be charged from 0% to 75% in approximately 1.5 hours, allowing for rapid recharges in a short time span. The fast charger is portable and can be easily carried in a frame bag.

Assist Modes

The Avinox Drive System features four riding assist modes: Auto, Eco, Trail, and Turbo, and a special Boost mode can be quickly activated for more challenging terrain. In Boost mode, riders can enjoy a max 30 seconds of 120N·m drive torque and an instantaneous max output of 1000 W, allowing for easier handling of complex conditions.

The Avinox app connects to the bike via Bluetooth, enabling personalized riding data configuration, abnormal movement alerts, and other features.

The Avinox Drive System is equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a wheel speed sensor, resulting in an intelligent walk assist with various support modes. Simply press and hold the down-arrow button on the Left Wireless Controller in any riding mode to activate this function.

Intelligent Assist

The Avinox Drive System features a 2-inch OLED full-color Control Display as the interactive hub, enabling connectivity between the Drive Unit and a mobile device via the Avinox app. Screen brightness reaches up to 800 nits and adjusts automatically. It features dustproof, water-resistant, and anti-glare capabilities, and even supports operation with wet fingers/hands. Even in strong sunlight or heavy rain, the screen remains clearly visible.

An e-bike with an integrated Avinox Drive System enables users to conveniently record their ride data. This system features an array of sensors that capture nearly 50 data points, allowing users to customize the contents on the Control Display via the Avinox app, including parameters like ride time, range, average speed, real-time power output, and more.

DJI has developed innovative dual Wireless Controllers that support Bluetooth connection to the Control Display. This effectively reduces cable clutter and simplifies bike maintenance. These controllers also enable quick assist mode switches and access to more operations and faster commands.

The Avinox system is fully unleashed with the Avinox mobile app. Once paired with the system via Bluetooth, the app provides users with smart features like bike protection, data recording and sharing, assist parameter adjustments, and real-time bike status checking.

When the bike and a smartphone are connected via Bluetooth, users can activate a Phone Key to automatically unlock the bike according to proximity.

Additionally, the app's Bike Protection features can send the user a push notification in the event of an abnormal bike movement, helping users stay aware of the location and status of their bike.

When detecting a malfunction in the drive system, an alert will be shown on the Control Display and a beep will sound to notify riders. Any error status can be checked, troubleshot, and resolved via app.

After Sales

The components of the DJI Avinox Drive System have been certified by recognized testing laboratories such as TÜV SÜD, TÜV Rheinland, and UL Solutions, passing a variety of safety and reliability tests.

DJI has established over 20 service centers worldwide, including in China, Germany, the Netherlands, France, the USA, Australia, and other countries and regions. This global service network provides customers with timely, efficient, and professional services, continuously safeguarding product quality.

Summary of ChargerLAB

DJI's newly launched Avinox Drive System features impressive technology and sophisticated design across its core components, including the motor, battery, and controller. The Avinox Drive System boasts a high energy density and large capacity battery while maintaining a lightweight form, making it well-suited for eBikes. With a maximum charging power of 508W, the system ensures quick battery replenishment. Even after 500 charge cycles, the battery can retain 80% of its initial capacity, ensuring both safety and durability. Additionally, the system supports smart connectivity via an app, allowing users to easily access every function for an enhanced user experience.
