re: gear shifting sensors you must indulge me in my substantial ignorance of electronics- i had my LBS assemble this after i procured the parts online. to quote from the E-Rad link you provided... "Connects to the dedicated Gear Sensor cable that is included with all e-RAD drive units" the...

it's pretty quiet to my ears (the noise seems like it's from the motor and not the belt) but i guess it's not like a Bosch or a Curry. i don't have a gear sensor (i was informed that the E-Rad gear sensor is incompatible with this iteration of the Bafang) but it doesn't seem necessary because...

on flat terrain the transmission seems perhaps superfluous (with the current gear ratio of 2.5) because the 750 watts from the motor can easily power the bike starting in 14th gear from a standing stop to top speed (about 30mph before the assist cuts out). going uphill the process of shifting...
