You don't think e~bikes have killed the (non-e) gearbox bike?
Strictly from a cosmetic perspective, totally anecdotally, I feel (love, hate, indifferent) that e~bikes aesthetic influence on bikes is driving people-powered bikes towards a small-tubed (obviously not motorized) aesthetic - isn't that part of the appeal of Starling or Cotic or etc? Or, maybe that's just what folks are talking about in the echo chamber I live in.
Fully believe in the next couple of years all e~bikes will have an integrated gearbox. Just makes sense.
