The higher the indicator (1 = easy, 7 = hard), the more difficult it will be
to pedal and vice versa.
Attention, never pedal backwards during the gear change and never
force the control lever.
For optimal use of the system, it is recommended that you do not
change gear when you are pedalling hard.
Be sure to shift one gear at a time on the speed selector. When shifting
gear, reduce the force applied to the pedals. It is possible to change
gears by pedalling gently, but on rare occasions, the ratchets inside the
hub may make a slight click afterwards, as part of a normal gear shift
operation. These noises are the normal result of the structure of the
internal gear shift mechanism and are not indicative of any malfunction.

Adjusting the chain
Your bicycle has only one sprocket, the chain is automatically
tensioned by the correct tightening of the wheel in the frame. To adjust
the chain tension, loosen the nuts on either side of the hub and pull the
wheel towards the bottom of the notch, making sure that the axis
remains perpendicular, then tighten the nuts. Make sure it is properly
tightened before using the bicycle.

Replacing the chain
Since new chains are sold with too many links, the first step is to reduce
it to the correct length. The most secure way is to count the number of
links in the old chain in order to adjust the new one. To remove the old
chain, simply undo a rivet.
Once it has been removed, the new one must be fitted. To fit the new
chain, pass it around the chainring of the chain set and the rear
sprocket so that it engages correctly on the other gear elements. To
fasten the chain closed, we recommend using a quick clamp. This acts
as a female link which will be inserted between two male links. Next,
the quick clamp also allows you to remove the chain more easily for
cleaning.
