I think it is electric on tern. Also electric aspect of Rohloff scares me lol, can I buy Enviolo (cabled) with gates and upgrade to Roholoff cabled when it shits itself?

E14 is awesome with Bosch bikes - we move dozens a year. Mechanical Rohloff with Bosch has problems in my experience due to the added torque of the drive unit and the bends of the internally routed lines causing excess drag on an already stiff shifting system.

Enviolo and Rohloff run their shift lines on opposite sides of the bike (DS/NDS respectively) and it's VERY unlikely the frame will have the necessary routing for mechanical Rohloff - if you don't mind zipties, it shouldn't be a problem, tho.

Defo yes think about cabling options for Rohloff retrofits! Seen some stinkers over the years with duck tape, zip ties and pieces of plastic used to persuade the cables/shift box thing to stay in the right place on bikes where they don't have a location for these things in the frame. Oh wrong dropout angles too, so the shift box/outlet port is pointing into the ground haha.

Confusing as you can have it orientated in whatever position you want?
