I had to look up that Vboxx transmission, I thought it was a planetary hub that slipped under my radar. I have a dozen bikes in my garage and all but three have gear hubs. Very cool unit but a bit pudgy at 10lbs. Still, that's 10lbs on the frame and not on the wheels, also an e-bike so the weight is basically negated.

If Adler could have only known what they started 70 years ago. They produced a line of bicycles with a sliding gear three speed bottom bracket.

Keep us posted, it's pretty interesting.
