When the DJI Avinox ebike motor hit the scene with 1000W peak power and 100Nm of torque, it totally shook up the eMTB world. It sparked rapid progression in the market and even fast improvements and major over-the-air power upgrades from the likes of Bosch & Specialized. Well, Avinox is back strategically minus the DJI branding with its own massive power upgrade in their gen 2 M2S ebike motor. A whopping 1500W peak power and staggering 150Nm of torque take the Avinox M2S ebike powertrain into a new super-powered category of its own. (All photos/Cory Benson)And weve been riding it in a couple new eMTBs to see if the much power would blow our socks off!Avinox M2S super power 1500W, 150Nm ebike motor by DJIOn paper the numbers seem almost unrealistic: 1500W peak power and 150Nm max torque. Weve ridden plenty of eMTBs with almost half of that, which felt like plenty of pedal-assist support. The original DJI Avinox M1 motor was already incredibly powerful at 1000W peak & 105Nm when it debuted almost two years ago. We rode it first last winter in the Amflow PL eMTB and came away surprised at how powerful it felt. In fact, it seems every ebike companys product manager had the same feeling, and since the start of 2025, weve seen a steady stream of brands rushing to get out their own super DJI-powered eMTBs. Now that is about to go next-level, as weve seen at least 19 new Avinox-powered eMTBs that are set to debut today, all with this new extra-powerful second-generation Avinox M2S drive unit. And theres word that 60 ebike companies are now working with OEM Avinox ebike systems!Why Avinox, but not DJI?A quick note on naming In the last year, DJI has separated Avinox (which had just been the motor name) off into a separate company. It is still the same tech developed by the original DJI-backed team, and it still shares DJI tech, like the same display. But Avinox wants to distinguish its ebike drive brand from drones and action cams (and separate from any drone bans), so the ebike drives no longer get any DJI branding. And well mostly refrain from calling it a DJI motor in line with Avinoxs brand strategy going forwardSo, whats new?More power, but more control, too! The stats are clear: 1500W peak power and 150Nm max torque. Both of those are in the short-term Boost mode, limited to at max 60 seconds of super-powered output. But even in the regular Turbo mode at 1300W peak and 130Nm of torque, this is the most continuously powerful ebike system weve ridden.The new M2S motor looks effectively the same small size as the original M1. It weighs a claimed 2.59kg, nearly identical to the 2.52kg claim of the original. But Avinox describves it as a 45% increase in power density and a 21.6% increase in torque density.The new Avinox M2S drive unit uses an updated helical dual-gear meshing motor design, said to reduce gear play and pedal kickback rattle, while also keeping quiet at 45 dBA under load. The new ebike drive system adds a temperature sensor, all-new cooling fins, and new flat wire windings to reduce energy loss to heat and overall improve heat dissipation. That means more pedal-assist out of the same battery, plus more consistent, sustained output at the highest motor assist levels.Where can you get an Avinox M2S ebike?Keep checking back on the site today and youll find a lot of new Avinox-powered eMTBs. Our first rides on the new system were on this shred-ready aluminum enduro Propain and a lighter carbon all-mountain Amflow. Those are just two of almost 20 options that will hit the market in varying availability starting today.Avinox-eBike.comThe post 50% More Power Avinox M2S eBike Motor Blows Minds: First Rides on 1500W, 150Nm appeared first on Bikerumor.
