That’s a really good point.

They also never seem to fail (unless the batteries are flat).

Fun fact: my non e-bike has lots of batteries.

Yeah, the shifting with electronic components is so fast, easy and precise, but I don't love how many batteries are all over some of my bikes. I kind of enjoy bikes in order to get away from screens and tech and all that.

Neat…
