Description
The Amflow PR Carbon Pro, with the Avinox M2S motor and 800Wh removable battery, boasts 1500 watts peak power and 150Nm of torque. But in reality, you can only achieve these peak numbers in Boost mode.

The actual continuous maximum power output on the Amflow PR is limited to 1300 watts, so 200 watts less than Amflow's flagship PX e-bike which gets the same Avinox M2S motor but uses the new high density 700Wh integrated battery.

Still, at 1300 watts in Turbo mode, the Amflow PR Carbon Pro has over double the power output of the current Shimano EP8 motor that we range tested on the older Canyon Spectral:ON.

Even the Mahle M40 motor, which matched the 850watts of the original Avinox M1 motor, when it launched two years ago on the Amflow PL Carbon, is now considered mid-power when compared to the mighty Avinox M2S motor.

But Amflow didn’t simply add a removable battery to the PX and call it a PR. It also introduced a new rectangular charging port. So the charger on the latest addition to the Amflow emtb range isn't compatible with the older round charging ports found on the PL and the PX. Also what's with the key for removing the battery on the Amflow PR? Surely an Allen/Hex key would suffice?

That’s not the whole story however. Because with less power and a bigger battery capacity the Amflow PR should give impressive range.
Only one way to find out, and that’s a real-world range test. So we headed back to the Forest of Dean, fitted our Maxxis control tyres, charged the battery to 100% and selected Turbo mode before hitting the trails at a blistering pace.

And, much to our surprise, the Amflow PR Carbon Pro with the Avinox M2S motor and 800Wh battery only delivered 1,476m of vertical. And while that's still impressive, it's only 33m more than the PX. So unless you really need a removable battery, the PX is the bike to go for. That, or the new Avinox equipped Canyon Spectral:ON.

So that wraps up another MBR range test. And if there is a specific e-bike you’d like us to range test next, just drop the model name in the comments and we’ll try to make it happen.
