Where things stand.

We sort every part of GearSense into what's been measured, what's worked on a prototype, what's being built but hasn't been tested, and what's still a plan.

Part	Status	What that means
Gear detection from wheel and crank sensors	Demonstrated and measured	Field-tested on prototype head units in rides since May 2026.
Relay that connects the rider's own throttle at rest	Prototype	Proven on the bench with a prototype relay, August 2026. Not yet on the TIM board.
Circuit that watches the rider's throttle	Prototype	Bench-tested on a prototype.
TIM main board, Rev A	Untested hardware	Ordered 2 November 2026 and in manufacture. Not yet assembled into a bike or tested as a whole.
Self-checks, learned throttle limits, rider override, fault handling	Designed	Designed in detail; the firmware isn't written yet.
