To turn, use the handlebars to steer in the direction you wish
to go.
As you get comfortable riding the Instinct, you will notice it
becomes easier to maneuver. Remember at higher
speeds, it is necessary to shift your weight to overcome the
centrifugal force.
Prepare to brace yourself if you encounter bumps or
uneven surfaces, then dismount and roll your bicycle to a
safe operating surface.
GEARS
Your Instinct is equipped with 6 gears. The lowest gear
(1) is for easier and uphill pedaling, and the highest gear
(6) is for maximum speed on level or downhill terrain.
Change gears only while pedaling.
The rear wheel contains 6 chain sprockets. When the
chain is around the largest sprocket, you are in 1st gear,
or the lowest gear. When the chain is around the
smallest sprocket, you are in 6th gear, or the highest
gear.
Every position on the gear shifter should cause a gear
change. Adjustments require
only be made by a quali ed bicycle technician.
Avoid changing gears very rapidly from rst gear to the
last gear or vice versa. If you change multiple gears too
quickly, you could have the chain come o the front
sprocket.
