hub drive is shifted via a
thumb-forefinger switch fitting
. The shifting
is achieved as follows:
"Thumb switch" – operation by pressing in
the direction of travel with the thumb
"Index finger switch" – operation normally
by pulling in the opposite direction to travel
with the index finger (alternatively can also
be operated with the thumb by pressing
against the direction of travel).
The index finger switch is operated for
switching up and the thumb switch is operated
for switching down. The gear selected is
shown in the display above the handle.
