Assembly of a Pinion C1.12 Gearbox #shorts

Made in Germany is not just a marketing claim for us. Every Pinion gearbox is assembled by hand here in Denkendorf near Stuttgart. Having a great infrastructure allows us to get all the parts from suplier with very short transportation routes.

After it is assembled every gearbox will be tested on our dyno, to guarantee its function 100%, before it is shipped to many bike manufacturers around the world.

Please note that this video doesn't show every single step in the assembly and some parts are speeded up in the video give a grief overview of the process in a 60sec reel.

Can't wait for pinion to become readily available on a bigger variety of frames!

Incredibly compact motor and gearbox. A triumph for the bike industry! We now need to see volume production and keener prices as the Pinion system makes it into other brands.

Cant wait for a pinion ebike with good geometry and sensibly priced. The second i see one released i am buying it. Ideally electronic shifting will be the norm then as well

[FreerideNick]

please make a version of a gearbox where the pivot point of the rear suspension is on the bottom bracket. because then you could make a cardan shaft, which would eliminate chain/gates ratteling and increase the efficency

[RamsayMacFarlane]

Awesome process! Look forward to a factory visit one day 😊

[jamesdeclan]

The future of cycling! I hope you have it patented like crap, before the big 2 get in on some. With your new electronic shifting and especially the motorized one, yall are rocking it

Good job on this. I love my gearbox and being able to dump gears without moving.

I would expect to pay 2500 for the drive system, It’s the other 5000 for some brakes and frame that has me wondering.
Cost seems disproportionate seeing that you can get a Surron ultrabee motorbike for similar cost.

That’s a well 5Sd station! Awesome work!

Looks good, if I ever break down and get an EMTB bike I think this would be the drivetrain to get.

Ist ja wirklich viel Handarbeit, hätte ich nicht gedacht. Interessanter Einblick 👍

FANTASTIC ENGINEERING !
- I'd love to have a job with such an innovative company
When studying in college I they closed & locked me in the library, kept the lights on in back just for me!! Best time of my life!

can you buy that awasome gearbox or is it only possible to buy it with the bike.

[ronnel]

that is why pinion will be better than shimano and sram

[gryphonsix]

Very cool! I don’t understand why every bike manufacturer isn’t featuring these.

[climatechangedoesntbargain]

could you publish the efficiencies of all gearboxes, please (esp C line)?

[TheMrLayer]

Is it possible to get one without buying a Bike?

[emmettsouthard]

Where do I buy one of your gearboxes I looked on your website and it just showed me the gearbox I couldn’t buy anything

[tooFATtoRIDE]

Does anyone know id the C1.12 and C1.6 versions have the same external gearbox casing dimensions and mounting points?
