Rohloff actually offers a bosch compatible gear shifter that tells the motor to reduce its output torque when shifting providing one of the smoothest gear shifts of any electric bike.
No the rohloff e 14 shifting system is currently only compatible with bicycles using the bosch panasonic fit ebike system.
At this point in time unfortunately not feasible as the current e 14 units require the power source and cock pit of a bosch or panasonic fit ebike system running the compatible software.
