Shift first, then step it up! The combination of rear motor and Pinion gearbox guarantees harmonious riding comfort and low impact on the drive. Compared to the mid-motor system, the drivetrain is exposed to significantly less forces.
Practical:
The retrofitting of high-quality rear motors and batteries is possible on Pinion bikes.
OPTIMAL SEQUENCEShift first, then step it up. Low impact on the drive.
BICYCLE TODAY, E-BIKE TOMORROWSimple retrofitting of high-quality rear motors and batteries on Pinion bikes is possible.
EFFICIENT SHIFTINGThanks to gearbox types perfectly adapted to e-bikes.
MINIMUM WEARCompared to the mid-motor system, the powertrain is exposed to significantly less forces.
HARMONIOUS RIDING COMFORTRear motors and gearbox are a perfect match.
LONG-LASTING AND RELIABLEEncapsulated system defies all weather effects.
A major disadvantage of modern e-bike systems with a mid-motor is that they subject the intricate transmission components to increased forces. Gearshift comfort and durability of the drive both suffer as a result. The force from the rider is first boosted by a mid-motor and then transmitted directly to the derailleur or hub transmission. These enormous forces encourage wear in the entire drive train and mean that gear shifts take place without haptic feedback. Premature maintenance intervals are the result.
As a result, the ideal sequence is for the propulsive effort of the rider first to be transmitted through the central Pinion gearbox and only then boosted as required by an electric motor. This means the gearbox components are not exposed to additional forces, and every single gearshift remains “unfiltered” and has a consistent level of precision. This arrangement also retains the low wear on sprockets, the chain and toothed belt that is a typical feature of Pinion.
The muscle strength first flows to the Pinion gearbox – not to the E-Motor. The use of force during shifting is determined by the driver – not by sensors. This is essential to shift gears sensitively without premature wear-out.
