6.15.2 Using a hub gear
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
CAUTION
!
Crash caused by incorrect use
If the rider applies too much pressure on the pedals
during a gear change and activates the shifter or
changes several gears at a time, their feet may slip
from the pedals. As a result, the pedelec may flip
over or fall, which may cause injury.
Switching down several gears to a low gear may
cause the twist grip outer sleeve to suddenly come
off. This will not have an adverse effect on the twist
grip's correct functioning since the outer guide
returns to its original position after the gear change
is complete.
Apply little pressure on the pedals while changing
gears.
Never change more than one gear at a time.

The interior hub is not completely waterproof. If
water gets into the hub, it may rust and the gear
switch function may no longer function as a result.
Never use the pedelec in places where water
may get into the hub.
In rare cases, noises may be heard from the rear
derailleur in the hub interior after a gear change.

This is normal when gears are changed.

Do not detach the hub. If you need to detach it,
