    Electric shifting is the most useless thing on derailleur bikes. The only sensible use case I’ve heard of is the electric motor gearbox where when you press the shifter it delays until the next mechanically optimal moment so you don’t grind gears or whatever would be happening in there.

      Why only derailleur bikes? Doesn’t seem any better with an internal hub either.

      It can make more sense on an ebike though!
