FWiW there are internal gear cranksets too* , & LBS have converted Mountain bikes with mid drive motors
Hunters get to the top of the hill in the timber lands..
*Of note
Efneo GTRO a 3 speed 28t + 2 Overdrives..
crank turns at a different rate than the chainring,,
A gear shift while stopped , I like that .. as a slow mover,,,
