Interesting! Didn't know DJI launched such thing! Not quite sure what the synergies with drones are. But very interesting.
Given that everything bike in carbon is made in China, for sure DJI has been working with Chinese manufacturers. Either that or they're beyond my wildest expectations of stupidity and incompetence.
Who's Jim?
Light carbon released a tasty e bike frame recently, then some company bought exclusive rights to it. It's a market that's very different from traditional bikes. You got to be able to source the motor, and the battery, and make sure the software works, which includes jail braking some rules (a 25kmh limited bike in Europe makes it essentially useless on the road), and the frame. Instead of just the frame. And shipping lithium batteries is its own nightmare.
I've been looking at ebikes for a long time and I'm yet to strike gold.

Hey there,

Looking at building up a bikepacking-specific hardtail 29er, rigid front fork. Will be bikepacking bags mostly so rack mounts aren't necessary on the frame (but always welcome). However I will be looking for a fork with mounts for fork cages.

Love the way this build looks but seems like the owner (who I know posts here) had issues with the frame.

Anyone done something similar, or have experience with frames/vendors that would work well for something like this? This will be my first China build so advice welcome!

I'd be skeptical of the kinematics of a Chinese designed high pivot given that Chinese engineers still seem to struggle to design good kinematics into more traditional designs like horst link. It seems to me that open mold manufacturers are catching up to modern geometry as evolution slows at the cutting edge, but suspension kinematics still often misses the mark on trail and enduro full suspension bikes.
