I hate derailleurs very much.
For my own bikes, I've always used fixed gear bikes or three speed sturmey-archer hubs. For the family cargo bikes, NuVinci/Enviolo hubs (with twist shifters).
My Yuba Kombi has a 9-speed cassette/derailleur with trigger shifter. I love the shifter, but hate the derailleur.
So I'm wondering if I just get another Enviolo (expensive, heavy, twist shifter) or try out a Shimano Alfine 8 (cheaper, lighter, trigger shifter)? Complicating factor being the BBS02 motor.
