Hi apologies for "resurrecting" this topic. I am a newbie.
I am in search of a Pinion bike in the UK. Preferably a "mass produced" option.
Is there a retailer or outlet in the UK that offers any bike (or ebike) with a Pinion gear box?
I like the look of this german model.

However the above Raleigh bike is not advertised for sale on Raleigh UK . I have phoned Raleigh in the UK to see if there are plans to bring it on to the UK market.
(What would be the implications for warranty if purcahsed in Germany and serviced in the UK?)

There are also Kalkhoff (ebike and non ebike) options available with Pinion : Kalkhoff Endeavour P18 Pinon Trekking Bike
Also Van Nicholas Deveron - Pinion & Titanium Touring Bicycle.
Stevens P18 Belt Drive Bike .
Any ideas where in the UK to try out one of these ?
My setup would be for touring and also day to day commuting.
(I carry a lot to work and back - laptop etc).
So I am researching a one size fits all option. (if no expense spared I would have a pinion gearbox with wide range of gearing, gates drive belt and disk brakes, front and rear pannier and lights ) .
Is there likely to be a cycle show in the Midlands (NEC?) that would have something on demo ?

From my research the Pinion is very low maintenance and the bottom bracket gearbox gives the bike much better handling ?
I would not be doing much off road so I would only require front suspension and possibly a cane creek seatpost .

I am what you might call a "slower" rider - at the moment I use a ebike for most commuting so I will not be setting any speed or distance records any time soon !
Any thoughts ?
