The PL Carbon ebike from [Amflow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amflow-tl-carbon) features a lightweight carbon fiber frame designed for agility and durability. The bike incorporates a four-bar linkage system to minimize kickback and is equipped with a custom-tuned Fox Float Performance or X Factory rear shock, providing 150 mm of travel. The front fork, a Fox 36 Performance/Factory, offers 160 mm of travel, enhancing the bike’s ability to handle rough terrain. The PL Carbon also includes a two-inch OLED touchscreen display integrated into the frame, which provides access to various riding data and settings.

The PL Carbon is powered by a [DJI](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byd-and-dji) [Avinox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-mountain-bike-models) motor, which delivers 105 Nm of torque and 850W of peak power. The bike is available with either a 600Wh or 800Wh battery, supporting fast charging capabilities. The total weight of the bike is approximately 19.2 kg.
