Pinion pulls the plug on EMTB motors [mod edit- Fake News]

[BikeBert]

It seems like the Pinion MGU story is coming to an end. Pinion GmbH has been acquired by Schwarz Group. The MGU e-bike motor will be phased out in favor of retail conveyor systems. This shift is indicated by Avinox MG and Gobao X1P gaining traction.

My Nicolai S16 MGU is working fine, daily trips to Lidl have been no issue for me.

Hmmm I'm getting AI slop vibes from this.

That’s weird, it worked 15 minutes ago for me, but it’s definitely dead now. Maybe it was all some AI trash like someone else said. The conveyor belt image of the groceries looks AI generated.

This appears to be the actual Industry Today website. Home

Not too late to delete this whole thing…

Google seems to suggest it's a load of b/s.

To me it looks like a bad attempt at a joke at Pinion's expense due to the news from Avinox/Gobao as they are unlikely to be able to compete with them.

The post is not "real", that part is very obvious but the underlying message makes a lot of sense......

 

[MeatBike]

It's a very niche hoax. Whoever did it clearly has too much time of their hands. Maybe they should go ride their bike.

 

[Vision_Tim]

Where's Alex to weigh in on this?

Probably kickstarted by rival MGU brands

It's also shenanigans in relation to its content: Pinion's motor know how has not been developed in-house, but been licensed from some robotic arms (?) motor manufacturer as I was once explained at Eurobike. Why should someone (Lidl) who was interested in a motor design buy a licensee company just to kill it off and keep only those parts that are cheaper to get alone in the first place?

Wondering just who might benefit from planting a fake story such as this on the internet? Just asking.

Will leave the thread as you've identified it as fake.

Maybe some of you can argue about it ?

 

[emonty]

Would say 50/50 fake......but yeah good to warn the not so bright

 

[emonty]

up for the EU going down

 

[RustyIron]

The article is totally true!
Pinion is OUT. Avinox is IN.

Which AI produces these NEWS with solid pics and text? Well made, well made. Or did you do them by hand?
