PINION MGU RULES
@eaze73242 ай бұрын
The models for next year will have either 800Wh or 1060Wh, same size same weight due to them using the newest Li-Ion cells
@JayHurstMtb2 ай бұрын
Oh really?! This is what I find exciting about the tech, constantly improving it. My E-bike is still a pretty weighty 500wh battery so it’s come a long way in the last few years. Thanks for the info 🤘🏻
@Soggy-506Ай бұрын
It’s a fantastic bike, I have the medium size and I love it, only downside to medium is it’ll only take the 720wh battery and if you have the coil rear you can’t fit the range extender, Great video, and a Great bike.
@JayHurstMtbАй бұрын
Thank you so much, it is an awesome Bike! Didn’t realise that regarding sizing all the 720 battery must still be plenty of range!
@Soggy-506Ай бұрын
Most of the people I ride with are on 750 batteries and they always seem to be about the same whenever we do a decent ride, it’s on par with them so it’s perfect in that respect. 👍🏼

Really interested in pinion bikes . No maintenance is appealing. New cassettes etc can coast a bomb . It's just the price of them at the moment that's putting me off . Got a focus jam2 which I'm loving .
@JayHurstMtb7 күн бұрын
I totally agree! I also love how you don’t get the noise from the chain slap, just makes the bike feel more solid. As you say it’s a very expensive system but hopefully if more of that technology comes out it will become more affordable. Nice bike too, I looked at the focus Jam 🤘🏻

I've been enjoying mine. I've made a 3d print plug for the battery keyhole
@JayHurstMtbАй бұрын
Awesome, which model have you got? Great idea on the plug, cleans it up 🤘🏻

I've got the Simplon rapcon pinion in medium. If anyone wants the plug, it's over on maker world.

Awesome review. I want the mgu not sure when we will get it in the US. Did you try auto shift?

@@jaydub308 thank you so much! I didn’t try it as I was just getting my head round it all. Never used anything like it but it’s super cool. I’m sure it will get to the US soon and hopefully they develop it more and more! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

How does a motor help in these instances, i mean these bikes get hammered, does the engine really do anything? Never tried a MTB with motor

@@RomboutVersluijs In terms of an electric bike the motor provides assistance to make it easier to ride, allowing you to do more riding. They are good fun but not for everyone

@@JayHurstMtb thanks! Bizarre how they hold up in these rides. Are these hubs also uses ng plastic gears or are these different material? Scenery looked amazing!
