Overpriced products like this are one of the reasons that a lot of people don't use bikes, and still use cars, because simple items like tyres cost almost as much for bikes as they do for cars - my car tyres cost £30 each, a bike tyre can easily cost £20, for about a twentieth of the material, and way less R&D and technology.
There's nothing wrong with derailleurs anyway, dirt cheap (if you want cheap ones), reliable, easy to fix, easy to adjust, you can buy a new one if your old breaks, etc.
This hub is one of the best examples of rip off cycling - it's £1,000! I can buy several high quality bikes for that amount of money. I can buy a good quality second hand car, in fact TWO perfectly good secondhand cars, for £1,000. It's an absolute rip off, and ridiculously expensive. Even the NuVinci hub gear is only £360, and offers infinite gears and a 360% gear range. Rohloff should have designed it better, or used robots to manufacture it, etc.etc.

It is much simpler to use Vedeneev's Variator gear set. It is CVT with fantastic properties, ideal for bikes
