The gear hub is integrated in the rear wheel and is operated
using a twist grip shifter or gear lever on the right-hand side of the
handlebars.
note: An exception to this is the two-geared automatic gear hub.
This system switches up into the second gear or down into the first
gear depending on the travelling speed.

once a year.

are free of damage.

If you notice damage to the components, consult your
specialist dealer.

(visual check).

unusual sounds can be heard when doing so.
