Is there an e-bike with a wheel hub motor and internal gear shifting? (self.electricbikes)

I like my e-bike a lot, but cleaning the gears and keeping them calibrated can be a PITA. The wheel hub motor is nice because my chain just keeps on giving even after 2300 miles, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of an internal gear hub combined with a a wheel hub electric motor.

Yeah if you run out of battery it kind of sucks, but it will still get you home. Unlike a broken chain.
