Still have some hoses to connect and half a bar to wrap, but we just couldn’t wait to show you the sneak peek. Probably the world’s first 32” wheel bike! Probably.

A new home for high-end bike culture in the south.

Congratulations to Nicolai on the opening of their new Experience Center in Freiburg.
Great people, great conversations, and an impressive new space to experience the brand up close.

We’re proud to be part of this journey and excited to see another strong touchpoint for the cycling community come to life.

Thanks for having us — see you again soon.

The Pinion MGU is an innovative motor and gearbox unit that eliminates the need for traditional derailleurs and cassettes. The internal 12-gear Gearbox shifts electronically, allowing you to change gears while standing, riding, or under load.

Women who ride together, grow together ⚡️🚵‍♀️

Beim Women’s Ride Out von Moustache Bikes auf dem Bike Festival Freiburg ging es am Sonntag gemeinsam auf den Hexentrail des Mountainbike Freiburg e.V.

Mit dabei: Ambassador Barbara Oberdorfer .barbara und Guide Isabel Blumberger von JobRad.

Zwischen Wurzeln, Kurven und jeder Menge Flow konnten die E-Bikes zeigen, was in ihnen steckt – und vor allem, was in den Riderinnen steckt. 💥
Besonders schön war zu sehen, wie viele Teilnehmerinnen über sich hinausgewachsen sind, neue Lines ausprobiert und gemeinsam Selbstvertrauen aufgebaut haben.

Danke an alle, die diesen Ride zu einer so positiven und motivierenden Session gemacht haben. 🖤

We had a great time on Saturday evening at the opening of the new Experience Center by Nicolai in Freiburg (Gerwigplatz 11).

Amazing conversations, impressive bikes, and a truly great atmosphere — exactly what bike culture should feel like.

We’re excited to see Nicolai now represented in the south with their own shop — another important step in bringing brand, product, and community even closer together.

Thanks for the invitation and the great evening — we’ll be back.
