We knew we’d have to enter the ‘e’ space eventually, but we wanted it to be the right product with the right spec and the right amount of special sauce to put the Viral logo on it. Our Wanderer drop bar mountain bike has been an incredible success, and there were enough of you out there clamoring for an e-bike version that we decided this would be our first product in the ‘e’ category. The first question a lot of people will ask is ‘why not the MGU (Pinion’s own ‘motor gearbox unit’) and the answer is simple: we wanted to create a very capable, but light for it’s category, all purpose gravel bike and the MGU is simply too big and too heavy for this purpose. So we decided to enter the e-market with the incredibly capable Mahle X20 motor system that integrates seamlessly into the Pinion Smart.Shift system and allows for maximum versatility. Since the Mahle system is built around a 142/12 spacing, we also decided to design the Wander-ee around a more gravel centric and lighter build than its Wanderer brother. The Wander-ee comes spec’d with the Cane Creek Invert fork to smooth out the terrain while still allowing for 29 x 2.1 tire clearance. Of course, the Wander-ee still has that do everything capability with rack and pack mounts everywhere, water bottle bosses a plenty, and a proper length dropper post to get that saddle out of the way on the chunkier bits.
