Pinion’s NEW E-Drive Powertrain Explained

Could Pinion’s new E-Drive powertrain be the future transmission of electric bikes?

Released today, the new E-Drive Motor Gearbox, or MGU, combines Pinion’s gearbox technology with a powerful electric motor into one compact unit and shifts wirelessly with a sleek electronic trigger shifter.

The brand claims the E-Drive MGU is almost maintenance-free, only needing an internal oil change every 10,000km, making it ideal for a range of electric bike applications.

Pinion says it can shift smoothly under load, which would be a big improvement over Pinion’s existing gearboxes, where you have to ease off the pedals in order to shift.

These are just some of the bold claims Pinion makes about E-Drive, so dive in for a full lowdown on this cutting-edge new tech.
