Konkurs for prestisjefull sykkel-startup med Peter Hermanrud og Dag Otto Lauritzen på eiersiden
What they might have omitted to tell you, the fall availability was for OEM manufacturers, not use average joe retail mortals. I have been asking them for any solid indication a number of times, and every single time they have not answer my questions, just BS wishy-washy answer. This is a...
I think Kindernay totally lost the plot. Seriously, 6 weeks and still nothing. What a lot of BS here.
There are some signs that the trust in this product is at the bottom for a while:
1) The peviously very engaged and helpful German EU distributor Trail.Camp dropped Kindernay. They are...
Some positive market development for @slickrock and others potentially considering electonic shifting for Rohloff Speedhub (y)
Bearing in mind the Rohloff's less than satisfactory response above (at least for me) please watch the entire below video. It is in German , which I understand to...
Ouch mate, what a shocker. As you said yourself, get Pole involved and see how this could be rectified. Fingers crossed, on both hands!!!
Please keep us informed as this is no doubt a very good test on how the Pole aftersales works.
Ps. Geordie accent - this brings me back to my time in the...
3X3 Nine - I think the 2kg quoted is for the hub alone, without accessories.
I like it but there is one tiny problem - these hubs are not available to general public for foreseable future. When I approached 3X3 they were either unable to tell me or unwilling to tell my any reasonable timeline...
I only hope this is not some sort of corpo BS to cover their financial and/or problems. It is an interesting product and, citing you, I agree that the lightweight e-IGH is the future but I hope they do not end up like Revonte (Finnish e-bike motor startup Revonte files for bankruptcy, to sell...
It is an odd case indeed.
Their social media is not up to date. FB, IG with no updates for about 11 months. Their official channel on mtb-news.de last posted late May 2023 with this none-specific statement:
"As part of Kindernay’s OEM strategy, we are now scaling up our production for...
Fascinating read - thank you for sharing. Maybe you could write some long-term review comments?
I am in-between Rohloff and Kindernay VII. Still plenty of time to do the in-depth research on this topic as for it is a Q2 2024 project.
Hello,
I have a polite question to ask: could someone measure the eye-to-eye of the bashguard mounting points, like shown in red in the picture below please? Thank you.
First of all, congratulations on your new bike! Take and send pictures when it arrives :)
Maybe you could share links to these?
Also interested in the findings from your research. Feel free to share, either on here on via PM.
I got in touch with Rohloff regarding getting info on which of my local Rohloff resellers has the A12 test kit. As expected, the response was less than satisfactory. For some reason, this becomes a norm and the clients are treated as cash-cows, nothing more.
@slickrock - there was something...
The 3X3 Nine hub is notwhere near being available to the individual end-user.
I have asked 3X3 for info regading their hub availability to the end user. This is what I got in return, not looking too great to be honest.

At the moment, we do not offer our gears to retailers or end users.
You can already buy an e-bike with our hub...
