The one at eurobike was plugged into a wall outlet to make it shift. Going to need one heck of a cord for riding LMAO

And only one tooth is under load at any given time?! Okaaay then.

I'm as far from being an engineer as an adult can be, but the fact that the demo had to be plugged into a wall socket instead of running off a battery suggests that it has to be constantly under power to keep the bike in gear. This is a lot more demanding of the electronics than just moving the derailleurs as current electronic shifting does.
