E-BIKES WITH PINION MGU

E-BIKES WITH REVOLUTIONARY
PINION MOTOR.GEARBOX.UNIT

We designed the MGU to seamlessly integrate into the silhouette of any e-bike leading to an entirely new, ultra-clean appearance, especially in the case of E-MTBs. Without the fragile and exposed derailleurs and clunky cassettes, bikes specced with the Pinion E-Drive System look like a single unit. Put simply – the Pinion E-Drive System sets a new benchmark for integration.

6 ADVANTAGES FOR E-BIKES WITH THE NEW
PINION  MOTOR.GEARBOX.UNIT

A Powerful
Brushless Motor

A wear-free brushless electric motor for industrial applications made in Germany, completely redesigned to fit the application in an e-bike.

85 Nm or better
160 Nm Wheel Torque

Comparable drive torque of approximately 85 Nm
Up to 160 Nm torque at the rear wheel.

Perfect shifting.
Every. Single. Time.

The gearbox of the Pinion MGU offers 12 or 9 gears and
ultra-precise and reliable electric shifting.

Smart.Shift
Functions

The Smart.Shift System can shift while riding, while being stationary and under load! It can shift for you, it can shift manually, it can instantly shift multiple gears at once and its virtually maintenance free.

Maintenance-Free
for 10,000 km

The whole system is contained in a closed and sealed housing. No exposed, fragile rear derailleur, no adjustment. The maintenance interval? A 10-minute oil-change after 10,000 km. That’s it. Really.

Super-light
Rear-ends

The elimination of the rear derailleur and cassette also reduces unsprung mass, resulting in better suspension performance.

“Our claim at ROTWILD is to develop the right solutions for every eMTB concept. The Pinion system of merging the motor with the gearbox and placing it low on the bottom bracket opens up innovative integration possibilities for us.”

Lutz Scheffer, Advanced Design, Rotwild

E-bikes with Pinion Gearbox and Hub Motor

Pinion in E-Bikes

Power Where it counts!

The Pinion gearbox is located centrally at the bottom bracket of the E-bike. The rider’s pedal-power is first transferred to the gearbox, then via belt or chain to the rear hub motor where it is amplified. This combination provides a confidence-inspiring ride and is easy on the drivetrain components. Compared to mid-motor systems, the drivetrain is subjected to much lower forces. Practically, with a Pinion gearbox, you can change gears while stationary or while riding.

Bike Selection

01 RIDER

Pedalling force is first applied at the gearbox. The amount applied when shifting gears is determined by you – not by sensors. This means that gears can be changed gently and deliberately.

02 GEARBOX

Forces from the motor are not transmitted through the shift-mechanism, so the gearbox can shift quickly, precisely, and without wear at every gear-change.

03 MOTOR

Rider forces are transmitted through the gearbox to the electric motor. The hub motor amplifies the force at the rear wheel and converts it directly into propulsion.

6 Advantages for E-Bikes with Pinion Gearbox and Hub motor

Perfectly Tuned

Efficient and comfortable: A gear range that perfectly suits cycling with an electric motor.

Minimal Maintenance

Pinion gearboxes run for up to 10,000 kilometers between service. Maintenance is a thing of the past!

Absolutely Reliable

The benchmark in quality and reliability, even in heavy use inder the toughtest conditions.

Confidence-inspiring Ride

The combination of gearbox and hub-motor provides a unique, dynamic ride quality.

Minimal wear

Compared to mid-motor systems, the drivetrain is subject to much less strain. Fewer replacement parts, lower running costs.

Excellent shifting performance

Pinion gearboxes are based on proven automobile transmission technology.

„The concept of shifting at the front and motor at the rear works perfectly!“
