A warning LED comes on and lets you know you are at 25%. If you go beyond that, it will start shifting in a narrower range.

I believe I read the internal hub design actually has a handlebar display.



It launches in 2013 under 'Alfine Di2'.

Looks promising.

The other big development is that with Alfine Di2 you get the choice of either flat-bar shifters or STi shifters for drop bars, where the gear shifter is integrated into the right hand brake unit.
