Surprising that ZF, the best gear company in the world, didnt come out with an integrated gear system like the Pinion

If I were Bosch, Shimano, Spesh etc I would be VERY worried! Life time warranty is a massive on its own.

I've worked with many ZF marine gears on ships and after working with them for over 15 years I can easily say that they are pretty much bulletproof. Never had to repair one that failed. It was mainly just new installations, alignments, and preventative maintenance. Never knew they were in the ebike business. That's def a good piece of machinery.

Since ZF is a company that makes high performance automotive transmissions, I'm surprised they didn't go with an integrated gearbox unit. They would of had an upper hand on the Pinion MGU.

Wow, to lift up the front wheel like that without even trying anything, I think this 90nm motor is actually more powerful than 120nm ones.

I have a 6-speed ZF automatic transmission in my 2007 3-liter 6 cyllinder diesel BMW, it's currently at 280.000 miles. Good stuff

as someone who drove sportscars for 20 years I hope to be able to buy this motor system and continue enjoying ZF parts in a different hobby
hopefully not only available on 10'000 bikes ><

living in hills im still anti electric MTB but watching actors like ZF coming into the market with such approaches makes me think about it again tbh, just hope for the bike market prices to stabilize and get in a reasonable specter rather than getting as expensive as motorcycles or cars

You had me at sealed oil bath guaranteed for the lifetime of the system. This is the motor I'm most keen to try of all.

Way better than all the other videos from german guys! Really useful information, thx!

Really good approach to the motor design and the way it mounts. You can swop the motor out for a newer model if they stick with the same dimensions!

Well that Was enough for me to stop thinking about replacing my 2 year old Orbea Rise with a newer Fazua system. I love the look of this motor. I’ll wait a season or two now to see how this pans out on new bikes.
