Not for nothing, but that is a totally awesome concept idea for essentially creating an automatic 2-speed e-transmission. No more of this I want high speed but will have to gear down to get torque and not overheat the motor, or I got a monster torque motor geared to the moon so I can get some speed out of it.

Neu / Castle - can you hear me?
