Hmm...

"160 GRAMS LESS THAN STANDARD CABLE SHIFT (without battery)"

Surprisingly, or not, they fail to mention how much the battery weighs - and without one it is pretty much a pointless exercise.

And why would you want to do this - I see it as just one more thing that could, and will, go wrong or will fail at the least opportune moment.

Looks a bit vulnerable.
I can't see it surviving the first left handed unscheduled dismount.

Seeing as they are using electrics, why not go the whole hog and use an electric motor ๐Ÿ™‚

And then quote some fantastic weight saving over a conventional transmission without mentioning the batteries. ๐Ÿ™‚
