AI generated translation
AI-generated translation refers to the process of using artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning models, to automatically translate text or speech from one language to another. These systems, such as neural machine translation models, analyze large datasets of multilingual content to learn patterns and associations between languages. The generated translations are based on statistical probabilities and context learned during training.

Pinion, known for gear transmissions, opens up new dimensions for e-bikers with an e-bike motor including an integrated gear transmission.18.07.23 08:32 1.7722023-07-18T08:32:00+02:00

A brief clarification of terms in advance: Under the name MGU (Motor.Gearbox.Unit), Pinion combines motor and gearbox into a single unit. This is intended to better meet the requirements of an E-Bike as well as the higher stresses that components can be subjected to. In combination with all necessary components surrounding their MGU, Pinion refers to the Pinion E-Drive System.

E-Drive System briefly & concisely

There are several versions of the MGU. E1.9 provides nine gears, E1.12 twelve gears. The E1.9 MGU has nine gears and a gear range of 568%. The E1.12 with its twelve gears has a range of 600%. Versions for S-Pedelecs (E1.9S, E1.12S) are also available.
The magnesium housing is not much larger than that of comparable fully-capable mid-drive motors. The total weight, at around 4,000 grams, is also quite close to the weight of ordinary e-bike mid-drive motors with separate transmissions.

The maximum support is 400%, and the maximum mechanical power is at 600 W. Since the power of the MGU, due to the gearbox, is not directly comparable to that of conventional motors, a comparison value of 85 Nm is given.
Since no derailleur is needed anymore, the singlespeed setup can be combined either with Pinion's Longlife chain or Gates Carbon belt drive. Logically, no cassette is needed either, which also eliminates unsprung mass at the rear suspension.

The system is electronically shifted using a Trigger-Shifter. The involved Smart.Shift technology offers optionally activatable semi-automatic functions, such as automatically shifting into a pre-selected gear when the bike comes to a stop.
