OK I am years late to the party here but electronic derailleurs are the best thing ever for a mid drive that uses the bicycle drivetrain. I just put a d1x trail actuator on my bike and it is SWEET.
Why?
You can pick any number of gears to use, for example a fraction of the cassette. You can set any position for any gear, meaning you can skip physical gears on the cassette.
My 11 speed cassette has 4 gears on the inside that are nonfunctional and for spacers only. Don't use them to start with. Of the remaining 7 gears I really only need 4.
I programmed this into the system and it works perfectly. Anyone else using electronic derailleur or other unusual shift system?
