MAINTENANCE-FREE &CALCULABLE SERVICE HEAVY-DUTY APPLICATIONSCOST-EFFECTIVE WITH MINIMAL TCOA SHIFT IN URBAN MOBILITY
Overcrowded city centres, poor air quality and increasing demands on urban logistics – inner-city transport must become more sustainable. Heavy-duty cargo bikes in particular have great potential and can successfully replace traditional delivery cars, trucks, and vans in many scenarios. But classic bicycle components do not stand a chance under such harsh conditions. Reliable vehicles require reliable shifting solutions! Pinion gearboxes are built to withstand the relentless stresses and strains of the most demanding commercial and industrial cargo bike applications.
GEAR SHIFTING
BASED ON PROVEN
AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY
Pinion offers robust drive technology in a series of gearboxes designed specifically for heavy-duty applications. The gearboxes use spur gearing based by sophisticated automotive transmission technology. The result is a shifting system that is virtually wear-free, requires no adjustment, and provides outstanding long-term reliability. With its fully sealed construction and flexible positioning within the drivetrain, Pinion gearboxes are a driving force in the cargo bike market.

PINION EXCLUSIVE:
NEUTRAL GEAR OPTION
FOR SAFE MANOEUVRING
Pinion T-line gearboxes are the only shifting systems on the market with an optional neutral gear. This allows reverse movement of the bicycle without the crank arms rotating backwards. While operating a heavy vehicle, this feature significantly improves ergonomics and reduces the risk of injury as compared to conventional cargo bikes.

Pinion T-Line gearboxes can be integrated into various drivetrain configurations. Gearboxes are available in 6-, 9- and 12-speed versions with gear ratio ranges increasing with the number of gears. The 6- and 9-speed versions are also available with the unique neutral gear option.
