PINION SMART.SHIFT IN DOWNHILL WORLDCUP
Our Pinion Smart.Shift technology caused a sensation last year with the Stromer ST7.

PINION LAUNCHES REVOLUTIONARY NEW E-DRIVE SYSTEM
WORLD’S FIRST. MOTOR AND GEARBOX. FINALLY UNITED. At the Eurobike Pinion recently presented the new E-Drive system. The drivetrain is the heart of an e-bike. Until now, this has consisted of two separate systems – a gearshift and a motor, which usually come from different manufacturers and yet somehow have to work together. The consequences are bad shifting performance, high wear, followed by high maintenance with enormous costs. The Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU) is here to change that.
