Yeah, looking into it, interfacing a Super Shifter in there with a 45:20 gear set would be feasible. I may have to buy an extended output shaft. The ratios wouldn't be optimal though. By tweaking the way I drive the center wheel I could also use the Gen 1 shifters which offer slightly better ratios. But that would get pricey real quick.
