Gear shift
The selection of the appropriate gear is a
prerequisite for a physically comfortable ride and
making sure that the electric drive system
functions properly. The ideal pedalling frequency
is between 70 and 80 revolutions per minute.
Stop pedalling briefly when changing gears. This
makes it easier to switch gears and reduces wear
on the drivetrain. However, keep the crank
moving while switching gears.
