General operation
Gear changing
If you are not yet familiar with a gear change, practice handling
your new Pedelec, braking and negotiating curves but do it
away from public roads.
Derailleur
First switch the chain to the centre pinion at the rear. Switch
between the front chain rings. Then try the same in the reverse
direction. This way you will learn the functioning of the gear.
Do not ever change gear when the cycle is stationary or during
reverse pedalling. Select your gear transmission ratio in front
according to the terrain and exercise additional control with
the rear sprocket.
The chain should not run crosswise, i.e., with very steep
inclination, because otherwise chain and gear wheel will wear
out fast. Use the derailleur as illustrated in Figure 20.
Auxiliary gear with coaster brake hub
While using a gear hub, stop pedalling for a moment so that
the gear can switch. Due to the gear cable expansion, the gear
hub requires regular readjustment by the dealer.
Gear hubs with 3-, 4-, 5-, 7-, 8- and 9 gears offered by different
manufacturers are available at present.
Please contact your dealer to adjust your individual gear model
or follow the corresponding operating instructions of the gear
manufacturer.
Brakes
Your Pedelec is equipped with two independent brakes. The
right brake lever works on the front wheel brake, and the left
one on the rear wheel brake.
You can change this order by changing the brake wires on the
brake lever. Get this done by your dealer.

Gear adjustment:
The gear must be adjusted
regularly, depending on the
type of gear usage. Let your
dealer do all the gear settings.
