Everyone things on 'the moment the battery runs out of juice'. With die I mean dying for good, which sometimes happens with lithium batteries. Doing a long trip and it dying for real must suck.

Damn, that's some crisp shifting 

Beautiful bike too!

Do you have auto trimming on the FD? I see it is moving a little when you go up and down on the cog.

Seems like it but not sure if this in anyway may infringe Shimano's patent but no issues with shifting in casual mode.

However in casual mode, the system seems to auto prevent shifting last 2 gears on either sides of the chainring to prevent cross-chaining; ie. Lager ring cannot last 2 biggest gears while small ring cannot use the front 2 smallest.
There is a Racing Mode which I believe shifts faster without the gear lock. That will also use up more power so more tests shall reveal it all.

Thank you. I am pretty fussy about color coordination.

Any idea when an Aliexpress store or Wheel Top will be shipping to the USA?

Product page has been updated with some specs and stuff, still not selling and the prices seem like placeholders still. Not sure those reviews are entirely real either.

I wrote ExAid Cycling Store and asked if they could send a hydraulic version kit to the US.   They stated they could as soon as the product becomes available.

Do they not have a timeframe?

I asked when, no response yet.

It looks like the battery (at least the rear one) is bolted on with two hex bolts. So maybe there will be a possibility to replace the battery in an emergence?
