Jury Statement

New benchmark for e-bike gear hubs

Weighing in at just 1750 grams of total system weight, including a VII gearhub, Onesie shifter, and SWAP32/36 shell – it is the lightest high-performance internal gear system on the market, within a few hundred grams of a standard external 1X derailleur drivetrain.

It is also the widest range 7-speed internal gear hub on the market, and with an input torque capacity of 160Nm it is the strongest gear hub, guaranteed to handle even the most powerful electric mid-motor systems, making it the choice of e-bike OEM product managers worldwide.

Kindernay Founder & CEO Christian Antal, is thankful: “On behalf of my whole team, it was a great and joyful surprise to receive this attention, after years of work bringing the product to launch. We aim to set the standard for performance, robustness, and reliability in gear systems for electric bikes, and solve the supply chain issue”.
