I haven't seen anyone try this yet but has anyone attempted to modify their strida with a schlumpf 2 speed drive at the pedals?

I was very interested in the high speed drive or speed drive with their ratio of 1:1.65 for the speed model and 1:2.5 gear ratio for their high speed model. This looks like an awesome upgrade but also very expensive! but if successful our strida can really get up to like 100+ gear inches. which would be downright scary and probably very hard to pedal so maybe the 1.65 ratio would be best for a good 92 gear inches for some good cruising speed (using the 56 gear inches that they post).
Has someone found another company that sells a cheaper version than this since it's almost the price of the bike! If not I will probably have to wait for Ming Cycles to come up with a retrofit part since their strida 6's seems to be all two speed. Hopefully it's cheaper!
