I like the maintenance aspect of IGH as well. I get what you mean by lag but i’d say thats a minor inconvenience for major advantages they offer for a cargo bike.
amey-
Have you had to do much maintenance yet?
Do they really need less maintenance or do you not realise they need maintenance until further down the road?
i had some gear skips with the nexus and I was thinking I could check that (or get any bike shop to do so) out if I could see the sprockets...
You’re right the lag is minor and I probably need a settling in period if you like.

I’ve had little experience of IGH’s until recent hirings of different cargo bikes in research for a purchase in the coming months. So far.... I’m not really enjoying them. The gearing change feels lagged and the gearing range limited.
I’m inclined to go external, it’s what I’m used to and read it’s the most efficient in power transfer. does anyone have strong arguments to go For an IGH?
