Sounds like fun!
The whole system takes 1-3 hours to charge. In the real world, are people really riding 1,500km+ without stopping for 1-3 hours?

It's more a case of forgetting to charge or "oh it's raining tonight, I won't be plugging my charger in"... "oh shit I'm empty" and then having to stand on the roadside waiting for the juice to flow. Whereas on 11s I could get shifting back as soon as I plugged in the charger - if my bike wasn't covered in feed bags I wouldn't even have to stop moving.

I did it once in the Alps this year. I'd forgotten to charge before I set off and plugged in the bar-end junction box when i had a boring road section so I wouldn't forget later (it was hot as hell, all I wanted was a beer and a shower).

What's at all worrying about having the cable ripped to pieces by your rear wheel in the middle of nowhere during a moving emergency charge?
