Is This the Best Gearing for Trikes? - Pinion Gearbox - Utah Trikes

[@neilclaypoole7529]

I have a priority 600 with a pinion gear box and love it . I also have a CAT TRIKE VILLAGER and plan to convert it with a pinion gear box . They shift so easy and no worries about hitting a derailleur on rocks or stix.

Can’t wait to see the MGU on e-bikes in the US.

[@TNSonglines]

@cypvh74 Agreed!! Do you when there will be any available for sale in the US?

[@robertmcknight170]

Nice presentation

[@dustingaersmith8999]

You answered the very important questions that I was thinking about weeks ago…I gotta visit Utah Trikes!

[@johnalden6093]

I have loved the Pinion by Rohloff that you guys built for me. It is the 9 speed Pinion as the 6 was not yet available. I needed the massive range as i live in the high desert and 80% of my riding is on dirt and sand [over a mile from my fron doot to asphalt]. IIRC that low end is 3 gear INCHES. You need thst clinbing in 6 -8" of sand.

[@TheSlackSpace]

Just saying Pinion is a own brand nothing to do with Rohloff which invented the Speedhub

[@jimmymalone3494]

I enjoyed your video thank you for sharing.

[@louismartini6983]

Great video Davy

[@alifelesordinary]

Can't wait to see more on the motor/pinion combo. Do you know if it is torque sensing?

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Yes, it's going to be!

[@garyseckel295]

Very informative video article! Vast majority do not need higher than Rohloff gearing. Most would be better served with LOWER sprocket gearing, if gear-hub option purchased! Majority would be better served with lower gearing sprocket than the stock non-gearbox gearing. Three gearboxes on Hase trikes here. Two of them are Rohloff mid-mounted gearboxes. Shimano E-assist w/Rohloff here. Hugely respect German E-assist ("Rohloff E14") too! Vast majority of riders would be well served with Rohloff and E-assist, likely with lower sprocket gearing! Would love to try an ALL-Rohloff E-assist, Rohloff E-shifting, WITH their Rohloff gearbox! OH.., YEAH!!! Incredible video!

[@climatechangedoesntbargain9140]

7:00 why do bigger gear steps imply more efficiency?

[@DonaldLand-w8e]

I have a Steintrikes Wild One 20/20 that I have installed a 6 speed Pinion transmission and a 14 speed Rohloff Speedhub, I find that these two paired together on a recumbent trike to be a very good combination. For me, shifting is very easy, I have enough gears, especially for hills, which is what I wanted, speed is not an issue for me. For use with the 14 speed Rohloff, the 6 speed Pinion is best.

[@steventaylor5713]

Thank You Davy and I am so confused to many gears LOL

[@Alexv999able]

Any updates on when the MGU will be available in the US?

[@dustingaersmith8999]

Pretty complex….i keep trying to make a trip to Utah Trikes so I can see the differences. I had plans this month for a trip

[@dustingaersmith8999]

That may change yet again…still trying to get out there from Northern California!

[@josephholliman6006]

High winds? Seems to remind me of some lyrics once sang of the “big lake they call Gitche Gumee,” “when the gales of November came early”…(G. Lightfoot)

[@garyseckel295]

On my ROHLOFF-Equipped Hase Delta Trikes: No WHEEL REMOVAL, OR, DISASSEMBLY needed to fix ANY flat tire. Including a REAR, FLAT tire! Limited-mobility handicapper here. Have E-assist too! That Delta Trike advantage HUGELY matters to me! Very informative video! Interestingly, lower gearing is typically needed for elderly and/or handicapped, not higher gearing! Gearbox gearing IS over-the-top worth owning!

[@bigmountain7561]

Hi Davy, could you please give a really nice tutorial on the 4 wheeler vs the three wheeler for people who are 6’3” and 300 lbs. I would really appreciate that. And can I do the pinion with electric hub on the four wheeler? Thank You 🙏

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Hey @bigmountain7561 Davy here. Thank you for the video suggestion! We have a couple videos on our quads coming up soon, but we would love to cover this topic in the coming months so stay tuned. And to answer your question, if the 4 wheeler you are talking about is our Revolution eQuad you definitely can put a Pinion on it. The eQuad's setup allows for the Bafang middrive motor to actually function as a midrive motor and not occupy the space of the front gearing. This give you the ability to have a motor with a front and rear internally geared hub if you really wanted to trick it out.

[@garyseckel295]

Losing weight here. Topped out at 420lbs. Now at 355 lbs. Three Hase Lepus' here. Have 2WD, independent, rear-wheel air suspension, Rohloff gearbox (never again cassette), and 250Watt Shimano E-assist. 250Watt E-assist IS legal on bicycle paths! Plan ahead! Communities outlawing high-wattage, hot rodding of E-assist on bicycle paths!!!!!! Plan ahead!!! Wheelchair AND forearm crutches on/off for this NFL-sized, 70y.o. senior with no balance and limited mobility! Cannot get on/off my Tadpoles/Quads for 15 years now! Just saying... Plan ahead! Never outgrow a delta planform recumbent trike. Grow oldest on a delta planform recumbent trike. Been there.., doing that!!! Forgot to mention: Not driving automobiles anymore on roads for 4-years now. Plan ahead! ONLY buy "Street Legal" bicycle OR tricycle! "Jus Sayin......"

[@bigmountain7561]

@@garyseckel295 Thank You Gary for the information. I ended up calling them and I will be working with them on a new project build. Yes my balance is out the door and that’s from someone who rode a unicycle when I was in my teens and early twenties. Thank You Again and God Bless 🙏

[@garyseckel295]

If one has "Balance Issues," DO NOT spend money on ANY Tadpole OR ANY Quad!!!!!!!!!! Been there, done that!!!!!!!!!! Only Delta Planform trike!!!!!!!!!!! "Hase Lepus" with 25-inch seat-height OPTION here!!!!!!!!!! Oh, "Hase" Oversize Seat Option TOO!!!!!!!!!!@@bigmountain7561

[@roberttony001]

How about a pinion midmount mounted in the middle to replace the idler and two chains, the chain no longer flapping about.

[@SojournerClaus]

When will you have the Pinion MGU for retrofit onto trikes, in my case an ICE Full Fat?

[@W4TRI_Ronny]

Well you just Osborned me into waiting!

[@ronsteed]

You have to be of a certain age to get that :) Nice reference though!

[@W4TRI_Ronny]

@@ronsteed if you're curious enough, it's on Google

[@supremeflagship8965]

Is it possible to make a Pinion gearbox + Enviolo/Nuvinci hub combo?

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Totally possible. It's not one we see often but with the torque rating of Enviolo's heavy duty hub you should be able to hold the torque the Pinion puts out.

I don’t have a comment on the Pinion but on your music. As a guitar player it really grates on my nerves because the guitar is out of tune. 😢

[@josephholliman6006]

The question about the testament cut in blood MAY refer to the difference of the Abrahamic and new covenant. Was not the Abrahamic covenant cut in the blood of animals, but the new covenant cut in Jesus' blood?

[@nick_john]

You keep calling it a hub. It’s not a hub.

In caso di acquisto spedite trike in italia ?
