Speed Control System
The Speed Control System is made to help you travel through
various terrains and conditions easily by adjusting based on the
strength of your pedaling.
The Speed Control System is comprised of a Derailleur, a Front
and Back Fender, a Chain Plate, a Flywheel, and Shift Cables.
NOTE: Do not backpedal when shifting gears, this could potentially lead to the
a failure of shifting and the chain falling off. Do not change gears substantially,
always shift gradually and in accordance with the speed at which you are cur-
rently travelling. Shifting up or down multiple gears at once will lead to more
rapid wear and tear of the Speed Control System. The chain, fluted disc, flywheel,
and Derailleur should always be washed, wiped, and oiled appropriately.
Derailleur
The Derailleur is a 7 speed dial type, posi-
tioned on the right side of the handlebar.
When the large trigger is pushed, the gear
shifts to a lower gear, while the button
at the bottom of the Derailleur shifts to a
higher gear. Lower gears are preferable
when riding up inclines, while higher gears
are great for downhill speeds.
The Derailleur is attached to the Back
Fender. When the shift cables are too loose
or too tight, or if the speed controller does
not work properly, the H and L Bolts need
to be adjusted.
To adjust the H Bolt to its proper position,
adjust the chain so that it’s on the smallest
flywheel, then turn the H screw so that the
guide pulley with the smallest gear is on
a straight line. To adjust the L Bolt, set the
chain to the largest flywheel, then turn the
L screw so that the guide pulley with the
largest gear is on a straight line (as shown
in
Figure 1
).
