Pinion, the German engineering firm renowned for its innovative bicycle drivetrains, has unveiled the Auto.Shift.Pro\u2014a fully automated shifting system designed to enhance the e-bike riding experience. This advancement is available as a free software update for e-bikes equipped with Pinion’s latest Ci-Line gearboxes and the Smart.Shift system.<\/p>\n
Seamless Integration and User Control<\/strong><\/p>\n The Auto.Shift.Pro system operates autonomously, selecting the optimal gear based on the rider’s speed and cadence. However, it allows for manual intervention at any time. Riders can adjust the cadence settings via the control unit, such as the Pinion TE1 E-Trigger, or override the automatic mode to select gears manually. Notably, when manual adjustments are made, the system adapts to the new cadence, learning the rider’s preferred pedaling frequency. This feature ensures a personalized and responsive riding experience. (fit-ebike.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n Tailored for Diverse Riding Styles<\/strong><\/p>\n Pinion has designed Auto.Shift.Pro with versatility in mind, catering to both leisurely and dynamic riding styles. For instance, in the Auto.Shift.Pro mode, the system not only adjusts to the rider’s cadence but also allows manual gear selection, providing flexibility for various riding conditions. (simplon.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n Availability and Compatibility<\/strong><\/p>\n The Auto.Shift.Pro feature is accessible through a free software update via the Smart.Shift app, provided the e-bike meets the technical requirements. This update is compatible with a range of e-bike models from various manufacturers, including Stromer, Urwahn, and Schindelhauer.
