Why would any go with a derailleur in 2024? I've had enough oil on my shoes! In my opinion derailleurs are redundant technology. I read a study about efficiency and reality is that in perfect conditions derailleurs are 1% more efficient (98%) than belt drive (97%), but in any other conditions or if you haven't oiled your chain that week belt drive overtakes in efficiency. Combine that with quality of life improvements, I really believe in 2030 all bikes & ebikes will either be belt drive or shaft drive and derailleurs will be associated with the cheapest segment of the market.
9:20 if you want to see Pinion MGU.
Where are the chapters?
In the description with links.
Is it possible to install a new kickstand, mooi plus, on the delite4? The existing kickstand makes too much noise while driving
@memoryofjune as we do not install this model, we cannot give you any information about it. Please ask your dealer for more information

Price and weight is why they'll still survive some years.
Simplicity, reliability and availability so easy to service, repair and replace.
