6 Changing settings during biking
There are a few settings that can be changed while driving, being:
shifting the gears, changing the assistance level and switching the
push assistance mode on and off. When standing still a number
of display functions can be reset. In the following paragraphs we
explain how you can change the above mentioned settings.
6 . 1 Shifting gears
Adjusting the gears settings is done as follows:
a . Shifting to a lower gear (before riding away or riding
uphill) by turning the grip shifter 83 or 117 continuously
variable clockwise (see image 27 ).
2
Selecting a lower gear will put less stress on the drive train
and you will gain speed more quickly.

When you have a grip shifter with grip indicator the image on
the grip indicator 83 changes from a bicycle on a (more) fl at
surface into a bicycle on a hill (see image 27 ).
b . Shifting to a higher gear (when riding fast or riding
downhill) by turning the grip shifter 83 or 117 continuous
variable counter clockwise (see image 27 ).

Shifting gear while standing still is possible but only within a
limited range. Resistance will increase until it isn't possible
to rotate the lever any further. Don't apply unreasonable
force to rotate the lever beyond this point. Once the bike
starts rolling you can shift through the whole range of the
gear hub again.

Independent of the type of gearing, it is recommended to
briefl y interrupt the pedalling while changing gears. This
makes changing gears easier and reduces the wear of the
drive train.

Selecting a lower gear riding away from a stop will reduce
strain on the drive train components and increases the
operating life of your bicycle. Selecting the correct gear will
also affect the range of your battery positively.
