"Lower priced?" Where is the price???

> Also like N360 though, the new product is sealed and thus maintenance-free, and allows for shifting while under heavy pedaling loads or even while stopped.
All internal gear hubs allow shifting gears while stopped.
Besides, changing gears while riding is really no biggie: Just like with derailleurs, you simply have to be gentle on the pedals while the chain/gears move around.

Changing gears while riding is no big deal but as someone who commutes daily in San francisco on heavily traveled bike routes I am constantly amazed that the majority of riders fail to do so. They rarely shift at all, stating out in intersection having to stand on their pedals to go and then overspinning by mid-block - why? Why by the twenty seven speed bike if you always ride in the same gear? While most bike shop employees regard internal hubs as some sort of gimmick I think (know) the majority of commuter riders would be much better off with them. Slow start at a busy intersection is a very dangerous time for inner-city bike riders. As some one who owns both types of bikes I can't emphasis enough that the ability to shift while standing still at stoplight is hugely underestimated in its utility.

If it had no shifter, it would be better. Surely it can't be that hard to figure out how to auto-select the best ratio based on the strain?

The non-shifters are a puzzle to me, too. A special favourite of mine are the people with deraillueurs who always run the chain on the smallest sprocket in front ... and also on the highest gear in the back so the chain runs at the worst possible angle.

Anything that simplifies cycle riding, especially taking off in the 'right' gear is a plus for me!

Nice tech, cost please.

Ineptitude is usually inexplicable to those versed in the art.
Bring on more stepless, stationary changes, though a manual mechanical control would be nice for those who prefer rugged mechanics, and electronics-free operation, or does the controller come with a solar panel.

The electronic controller is for use on electric bikes. I'm fairly sure the standard shifter uses standard mechanical gear cable linkage.

Well, if N360 costs $360 on Amazon, N330 must go $330:) But I'd rather it goes somewhere below $200.
