"This bike features a12-speed C1.12i Pinion gearbox at the bottom bracket, paired with a Gates Carbon belt drive and a powerful, torque-sensing 750W rear-hub motor. This combination places the Skyline a step or two above many similar models due to its noticeably high-tech, extremely low-maintenance, and seriously user-friendly nature. To put it simply, the Pinion makes the Skyline a dream machine."
"In addition to snappy electronic shifting that happens at the push of a button (technically two), users can select between two semi-automatic shifting modes. One downshifts to a preselected gear upon stopping, while the other adds downshifting while coasting to match a preset cadence. Additionally, the transmission system is sealed and protected from damage and wear. Owners need only to change the internal oil bath semi-regularly, and the paired Gates belt is rated to last at least twice as long as a chain."
Lifestyle e-bikes fall into entry-level, mid-tier, and premium categories, with limited feature overlap across tiers. The Priority Skyline Smart.Shift occupies the mid-tier but incorporates a 12-speed C1.12i Pinion gearbox, Gates Carbon belt drive, and a torque-sensing 750W rear-hub motor, elevating its technology and ease of use. The Pinion enables snappy electronic shifting and two semi-automatic modes for downshifting on stop or while coasting to maintain cadence. The sealed transmission requires only periodic oil changes, and the belt promises at least double the lifespan of a chain. The bike pairs high-tech drivetrain with responsive, energy-efficient motor performance and competitive pricing. Speed, range, brake, and hill performance are evaluated in testing.
