Using the Rear Shifter
The rear shifter (right) will have an indicator that reads either
low to high
or a series of numbers from 1 and up. Low or “1” is
the lowest gear. This is used for slower riding, hill climbing, or to
allow for easier pedaling. It is recommended to start off in this
gear and move through the gears as speed increases as needed,
or comfortable.
To Use the Twist-style Shifter
Turn the area of the handlebar grip closest to the gear numbers
to the desired gear level.
