4. Adjusting the gear changing system
EN
Your bike has several manually interchangeable gears thanks to a
Shimano Nexus 7 speed system integrated into the rear hub. This
transmission system does not use a derailleur: the gear shift
takes place inside the hub. Use the right-hand lever to make the
desired change.
The higher the indicator (1 = easy, 7 = hard), the more difficult it will be
to pedal and vice versa.
Attention, never pedal backwards during the gear shift and never force
the control lever.
For optimal use of the system, it is recommended that you do not
change gear when you are pedalling hard.
Be sure to shift one gear at a time on the speed selector. When shifting
gear, reduce the force applied to the pedals. It is possible to change
gears by pedalling gently, but on rare occasions, the ratchets inside the
hub may make a slight click afterwards, as part of a normal gear shift
operation. These noises are the normal result of the structure of the
internal gear shift mechanism and are not indicative of any malfunction.
