Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Hello folx, please help me... What is the advantage of this kind of derailleur ? I just see it as an e-waste. Do I miss something ?
It's crazy that no better system than current manual derailleurs (either wired or wireless) have not been invented so far, they are so clunky compared to how brakes have evolved.
Regarding shifts in general instead, better go with those embedded into the motor e-bike probably, if you use ebikes, like pinion or effigear. You will loose the possibility to shift gear in case of depleted battery though
Transmission systems have evolved and there are really good and robust options—they just arent ultra-light and ultra-efficient, which is what cyclists want.
Gearboxes seem great but they weigh a little more and technically eat a small fraction of power. I'd have one on my bike if it were an option—i hate dérailleurs.
Maybe my next bike.
Yeah true. Zerode bikes are taking it on. I have an older zerode with a heavy shimano alfine gearbox but the new ones are integrated with a belt instead of a chain as well.
