shift sensor.

seems a bit like the inline brake sensor

Yes, I suspect it is just a bi-directional sensor.

You could possibly cobble one up yourself if you tandem up 2 brake sensors with opposite direction sensing and parallel them up with the brake sensors it should provide a crude gear shift system.

The climb assist seems like a nice feature. It addresses the problem where people's legs get tired going up hills. I'd like to try it to see how effective it is. I hope there'll be one at Redbridge.
