class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _19wv7tc2 _77sxmbb _77sxmba\"><em>Campsite for the night, with a dedicated charging pole to juice up the e-bike\u2019s battery.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">I tested the TL Carbon on a bikepacking adventure from Amsterdam to the island of Texel at the tip top of the Netherlands. The 170km trip was about 70 percent asphalt, 20 percent gravel and dirt, and 10 percent rutted, hilly, single-track dedicated to mountain bikers. I was more than a little nervous riding the latter on a 19.2kg (42.3lbs) bike loaded down with an 87kg (190lbs) rider and about 20kg (44lbs) of gear. But Amflow\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/transportation\/909060\/amflows-latest-e-bikes-raise-the-bar-again\">compact mid-drive Avinox M2 motor<\/a>, with its 125Nm of torque and 1100W of max output, flattened long, technical hills that other mountain bikers (not loaded down with gear) had to hike. As an eSUV, the TL Carbon has bonafide off-road credentials.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">I was also pleased by the range I extracted from the 800Wh battery, despite bikepacking on a very windy weekend. Amflow offers an optional battery extender that adds 480Wh to the total capacity, but I didn\u2019t miss it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">I rode in a mix of modes, spending the vast majority of the time in battery-sipping Eco mode, only switching into the adaptive Auto mode when facing a strong headwind, and Trail only when trying to dominate a highly technical or steep single-track. On my longest day, I arrived at my destination with 22 percent charge remaining after riding 82.3km (51.1 miles). That works out to an exceptional 7.58Wh per km (or 12.2Wh per mile) for a bike carrying so much gear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">And because the TL Carbon\u2019s battery is removable unlike Amflow\u2019s premium eMTB, it can be easily charged behind a bar, at a cafe, or inside a home. I had no problem finding public chargers along the way, but I\u2019m blessed to live in a country with <a

class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _19wv7tc2 _77sxmbb _77sxmba\"><em>The front and rear racks are great for running errands around

duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Still, as an eMTB, the Amflow TL Carbon makes plenty of compromises. The 27.5-inch front wheel is fine in town but it doesn\u2019t roll over roots and rocks as well as 29-inch wheels found on modern mountain bikes (there\u2019s clearance to swap a 29er in if you want). The geometry is also more upright than many would want on a trail, and the suspension travel at the front and rear is relatively short, tuned more for potholes than 1-meter drop-offs (yet it handled those fine). And the things you definitely want on a city bike \u2014 like the TL Carbon\u2019s integrated lighting, kickstand, bell, mudguards, front rack, and rear rack \u2014 are not designed for quick removal and add considerable weight to the otherwise lightweight (just 2.9kg) carbon-fiber frame. Removing everything to go full eMTB could take up to an hour, and then again to return to city mode.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">If the Amflow TL Carbon is your only bike then it certainly gets the job done in urban environments. But it\u2019s a little like putting leather seats and a stereo inside a WWII-era jeep and calling it a city car.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">In town, the Amflow TL Carbon looks out of place. For one thing, it screams <em>I\u2019m expensive<\/em>, and the gas shock, Fox branding, and wide knobby tires make it stand out from basic city bikes \u2014 not something you want in places where bicycle theft is a problem. I wouldn\u2019t feel comfortable parking it on the street overnight which is otherwise the common thing to do in compact, bicycle cities like Amsterdam. Amflow does equip it with Apple Find My to help locate it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1xorkac1 _1xorkac0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div style=\"position:relative\">\n<div>\n<section tabindex=\"-1\" aria-label=\"carousel\" class=\"duet--article--gallery _1044qizj xnv72h0\">\n<p><strong class=\"xnv72he\">1<!-- -->\/<!-- -->15<\/strong><span class=\"duet--media--caption inline xnv72hk _77sxmb1 _77sxmb0\"><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _19wv7tc2 _77sxmbb _77sxmba\"><em>The Amflow TL Carbon really is a sport utility vehicle.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The tires on the TL Carbon is where the compromises are most apparent. Amflow selected Maxxis Crossmark II tires which are better suited for trails. The deep tread adds rolling resistance and noise to city commutes and the tires lack advanced anti-puncture features found on tires made for commuting and touring. That makes them more vulnerable to flats caused by glass and construction debris commonly found on city streets. And that knobby tread makes fast cornering on pavement feel squirmy, at least until those nubs are eventually ground off by the asphalt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Likewise, there\u2019s no chain guard on the Amflow TL Carbon. That\u2019s fine for mountain biking but a nuisance in the city where that exposed drivetrain can snag trousers and skirts, or leave them stained with grease when heading out for a night on the town.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The dropper seat post is as useful on trails as it is in the city. Droppers are pretty mainstream for mountain bikes these days, and they also make the bike easily shareable with riders of different sizes. But the seatpost and saddle can\u2019t be easily locked when parked making them a target for thieves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The front rack paired with a (bring your own) bungee cord makes fetching errands a snap, and the rear rack can be equipped with an MIK HD-compatible bike seat to carry a kid to daycare. The quick-release Amflow-branded panniers and top bag I took bikepacking also work great for city trips. Just remove the panniers when you arrive at the market, fill them with groceries, snap them back to your bike, and away you go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1xorkac1
