Kagu Pinion

State-of-the-art technology and maximum functionality go hand in hand with the Kagu Pinion. The innovative Pinion drive combines enormous motor power with an integrated, highly efficient 12-speed gearbox. This means less maintenance, more riding, and automatic shifting if required. The high-quality carbon frame, the high payload and the proven balloon tyres round off the well-designed overall package and makes the Kagu Pinion unique. It is the first choice for commuting as well as for touring, travelling and transport.

Goodbye chain, hello comfort

Time intensive chain maintenance and gearshift adjustments are a thing of the past: Neither dirt nor water bothers the maintenance-free belt drive.

Reliable stone chip protection

The impact-resistant Rock Guard is made from a carefully considered combination of materials which protect the high-quality carbon frame and the motor unit from stone impacts.

Internally routed cables

The cables are routed through the headset into the frame interior. This not only looks sleek, but also protects the inner and outer cables and reduces the necessary operating forces.

Flexible and resilient

Thanks to attachment options for additional luggage or heavy-duty luggage racks in the seat stays, the KAGU PINION is ready for your next trip around the world (up to a maximum total weight of 160 kg).

Perfect Integration

The frame opening for potential belt changes is not only carefully integrated - it also offers maximum rigidity thanks to its positioning in the seat stay.

Style to the smallest detail

An example of our designers' perfectionism: The thru-axle does not protrude from the frame on the right side, which means the dropout appears closed.

Anti-theft protection

The lockable battery in the frame prevents unpleasant surprises. Additional mounting points allow the addition of additional extras (including bottle holders, frame-locks, etc.)

Weatherproof charging socket

The battery charging socket is well protected from the wet thanks to the waterproof spring flap and yet still comfortable to operate.

Modern e-bike with an innovative drive system

The Kagu Pinion with its brand-new Pinion E-Drive System sets new standards in performance, range and low maintenance. The drive system combines an electronic gear shifting with 12 gears and a strong motor with 85 Nm of power in one unit. To match the revolutionary drive system, we have developed a carbon frame for the Kagu Pinion that provides the optimum balance of light weight, stiffness and fatigue strength. With its extremely high system weight of a maximum of 160 kg, the Kagu is an absolute workhorse for trekking, travelling and transporting heavy loads and luggage.

Range? More than enough! The flexible battery system of the Kagu Pinion delivers battery power up to 1,495 Wh (men's model) resp. 960 Wh (women's model) for limitless riding pleasure. Welcome to the future of e-trekking!

COMPACT AND LOW MAINTENANCE: The DRIVE SYSTEM FROM PINION

The “Motor.Gearbox.Unit” (MGU) from Pinion manages to merge a powerful, wear-free motor and electronic gear shifting into an innovative drive unit system, all under the same housing. The advantages are:

The all-in-one Pinion MGU requires (apart from an oil change every 10.000 km) zero additional maintenance.
Thanks to the long-lasting belt drive, there is no need for a chain and rear derailleur - two components that are constantly exposed to dirt and water. The advantage: significantly reduced service costs.
The integrated gearbox enables uninterrupted shifting under full load. If desired, the Pinion MGU can change gears automatically.

You can find out more about the Pinion MGU and the other e-bike motor systems we use in this magazine article.
