Re: Are two speed transmissions worth it?

Something I'm curious to investigate is some sort of current-based shifting "algorithm." Have the drive default to a reasonable high gear (9-10 fps), then shift to low whenever the current draw grows beyond a certain value for a certain period of time. Then shift back to high when the current draw falls below a certain value for a certain length of time. Then have a manual override of some sort. Pretty much, the system only shifts to low to push.
