Ride the Way You Drive with the Pinion C.19 E-Bike Gearbox
With the German-built Pinion C1.9 gearbox and electronic Smart.Shift system, riding the Mercedes-AMG F1 Rallye Edition blends the ease of riding a powerful electric bike with the thrill and technological advancements of a Mercedes-AMG F1 car – letting you ride like you drive. This innovative powertrain significantly enhances any cyclist’s experience by creating a bike that’s more efficient, enjoyable, and connected to the ride.
Ease of Use
The Smart.Shift system makes perfect gear swaps whenever needed, so cyclists can be completely immersed in their surroundings, planning the optimal line through corners and taking in the scenery as it flies by, without ever needing to wonder if they’re in the right gear.
The Rallye Edition’sautomatic shifting also helps riders get the most out of every pedal stroke. By continuously adjusting the gear to match the riding conditions and terrain, riders will notice that they’re pedaling at a consistent cadence. This helps to reduce muscle fatigue and is especially helpful on longer rides and in varied terrain when shifting is more important and more frequent.
Automatic shifting is particularly good for new cyclists and anyone transitioning from high-performance vehicles, where automatic shifting is expected. There is no learning curve with the system, riders can simply get on and pedal even without knowing anything about shifting technique. There’s also no need to worry about any sudden changes in gears, which can be jarring with non-automatic systems – with Smart.Shift, riders are always in the right gear!
The seamless, low-drag transition between gears is one of the most immediate benefits of Smart.Shift and the Pinion gearbox. Much like a formula car’s automatic transmission, the Pinion C1.9 system shifts gears based on your speed, cadence, and terrain, to ensure that you’re always in the right gear to get maximum and efficient power transfer from the powerful electric motor.
Automatic shifting also helps to reduce overall strain on the motor and battery. The system’s built-in power savings mean riders can go further on each charge than they could on a non-automatic bike, even when using the powerful Race mode.
Because the shifting mechanism is completely internal, riders also get the benefit of a sleek, low-profile, quiet, and maintenance-free belt drive, which replaces a traditional bicycle chain. The thoroughly modern belt drive contributes to the bike’s overall efficiency and creates a solid-feelingdirect link between the pedals and motor in a way that chain-drive bikes can’t replicate. The belt drive system also has fewer parts that require maintenance or replacement, meaning that your Rallye will keep you on the road for years to come.
The Rallye’s Pinion gearbox, Smart.Shift system, belt drive, and powerful motor system represent a step toward the future of cycling and electric bikes, where technology plays a crucial role in enhancing the riding experience, and allows bikes to disappear under riders. Thanks to all of its technology, Rallye isn’t just a way to get around, it’s a sophisticated, user-friendly vehicle that adapts to its riders.
There’s nothing left except to ride it like you drive.
Great helmet with excellent comfort and premium build quality. I also like that you can add accessories like a visor or winter ear pads.
The biggest advantage of the Mercedes-Benz x Unit 1 edition is that it connects directly to the Mercedes eBike via Bluetooth and integrates with the bike's system. If you own a Mercedes eBike, this is definitely the version to get.
N+ Petronas Track Bike Review
I couldn’t be happier with my N+ Petronas Track bike. From the moment I unboxed it, the quality and attention to detail were obvious. The design is stunning — clean, aggressive, and unmistakably inspired by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team. It’s a bike that turns heads everywhere I ride.
But this bike isn’t just about looks. The ride quality is exceptional. It feels incredibly responsive and efficient — every pedal stroke transfers power smoothly and instantly. The frame is stiff where it needs to be, yet still comfortable enough for longer sessions on the track or spirited rides on smooth pavement.
Handling is razor sharp. It feels planted and predictable at speed, and cornering is precise and confidence-inspiring. The components are high quality, well-matched to the build, and perform exactly as you’d expect from a premium track bike.
Overall, the N+ Petronas Track bike delivers on both performance and aesthetics. It’s a perfect blend of engineering, style, and riding excitement. If you’re looking for a track bike that stands out and performs at a high level, this one absolutely delivers.
I love these bikes that I ordered! They are sturdier built than the pair of ebikes from urtopia that I also have. Can't wait to show them off to my friends!
The bike is incredibly good, comfortable, fully serviceable.
In addition to all this, it is very unique, everyone stares at it on the street.
In short, the purchase was worth it! 🙂
After being a biker for a long time I got caught by surprise by the ride quality experienced with my city edition. Can’t wait to get the helmet for a complete immersion in this new biking experience
A well manufactured piece of equipment. I only drove it two hundred yards (for a quick test drive) and it was so smooth and the assistance was excellent.
I have only taken the Bike out twice for a total of 45 miles. So far, the helmet and bike interface as one perfectly. The bike is agile, responsive and balanced and very fast, great acceleration. The four pistons caliber and large disc give superb stopping power. I haven't been able to take it off road because I have no fenders. This is a concern, why didn't the fenders get installed beforehand? Does the rear tire have to be dis-mounted to install the rear fender?

my first ride was 7 days and almost 500 miles in Ragbrai in Iowa seven days on the F1 turned out to be awesome. Could use a little more battery, but I charged along the way.
