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.

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.
