The only hope for having a triple version of electronic shifting that we can use on tandems is a mountain bike version. The problem is that the trend in mountain bikes has been away from triples. Shimano has no plans for triples.
Campy will introduce electronic shifting, probably this year, but there is no triple hope from that quarter. SRAM will
eventually have electronic. They have been strong in mountain biking, will need to provide something different, and so maybe SRAM will fill the triple niche.
Shimano does make an electronic shifting triple, believe it or not, the
NexaveC810, for electric commuter bikes sold outside of North America.
