Multi-speed hubs (internal gear hubs)
The gears (Fig. 116) serve to adjust the gear ratio to the terrain you are
riding on and the desired speed. A low gear allows you to climb steep hills
with moderate pedalling force. You must, however, pedal at a faster pace.
High gears are for riding downhill. Every turn of the pedals takes you many
metres forward at correspondingly high speed.

Warning
Start by practising shifting gears without cargo and passengers in an area
free of traffic until you are familiar with the functioning.
Notice
Do not pull the disc brake lever with a removed wheel and make sure to
mount the safety locks when removing the wheel.
Safety instructions
Read in any case the possibly enclosed operating instructions of the gear
manufacturer and make yourself familiar with the operation before you set
off for the first time. You find more information at https://enviolo.com
