Both are theoretically compatible with gates drive, but the nexus option may comes with it (based on their website pictures, but no reference to gates). I think that LvH now only sell eBullitt's with the option of 11-speed alfine or 5-speed version and have discontinued the 8-speed alfine. The 5 speed comes with belt drive, the 11speed alfine with a chain. You'd need a new motor unit chainring etc to convert the alfine, plus no autogear shifting and the durability issues.

are both alfine and nexus compatible with gates drive?
I will have to start looking into what a custom box/canopy costs as everything else seems to be pointing towards the ebullit but i don't think they make a box big enough for me.
