I like the idea of an electronic brake lever, but the wirelessness seems a bit pointless.

IF it ain't broke... and all that.

It's not exactly a subtle piece of kit to have at the moment either is it? I really don't see the point, an expensive alternative to the current braking system which is near perfect and cheap anyway...

Not sure I see the point!
Long live the Bowden cable ( I know it's hydraulics ) but still, Bowden cable.

No danger of that: who would get to the top of Alp d'Huez with a motorbike battery strapped to their front fork?
