I'm not sure I understand this bit. So how many gears does it have ? Or is it constantly variable between a range?
Ok. Done some reading. That is very clever.
Its very cool. I dont have much quality IGH experiance. But the lack of sudden gear jump, and ability to keep a hard pedal going, or so good, when pushing 200Kg up a 10% hill. Something I do alot. If you stop pedalling the bike stops near instantly, and its a bitch to get back up to speed.
The brick bit is not a worry, my current hub is also a brick, and when pushing a near 250kg load, who cares?
Need to have a look at it's exact range, currently have a wide 5 speed, which is very wide.
I have a 22t sprocket and a 28/45t crankset (well a virtual 45). Might swap to a 20t at some point.
18.5 - 66.6 GI for loaded
29.7 - 107 GI for unloaded
