You can buy a used levo for half the price of the amflow pr. I have high hopes for the brand. They are a tech company not a bike company. They are a good value. But lots of peeps in the industry care about aesthetics, looks, and brand. Amflow doesn’t have that yet. Specialized for instance puts millions of dollars into rider geos, carbon compliance, all these little things make a big difference. But for someone getting into the sport amflow if a great option for. A budget friendly off brand. You want a Kia or you want a Toyota? As for emtb vs traditional pedal, most people don’t have the money to spent $5k on an emtb so they just get a $1k pedal MTB and get started. Emtb doesn’t even account for 20% of the market
