Riding the bike cont.
Your bike features 7 speed Shimano index shifting gears which are changed using the thumb selector on
the right side of the handlebars. When the thumb stick is fully extended, the bike is in first gear (the easi-
est to pedal). To move up through the gears press the black (+) button as shown.
To move back down the gears, simply push the thumb selector again.
Most of the time, you will likely use the bike in it’s highest gear, but to get the best performance out of your
bike on hills, you should change down to the 3rd or 4th gear
before
you start your ascent.
The Big Bear also come with a horn which is powered from the main battery on the bike. To activate the
horn (which is quite loud), simply press and hold the red button as shown below.
