When it comes to comparing weight, we need to first look at what we are comparing. Midengine-
derailleur setups require a lot of maintenance and are prone to excessive wear and
tear. However, when taking all components and their weight into consideration, a fullpower
mid-motor with a traditional derailleur-style setup can be between 100-400g lighter.
Compared against motors of equal power with hub-style shifting systems, however, the
Pinion E-Drive System can save up to 1000g.
