Shifting the gears
Your E-Wave comes equipped with a Shimano 8 speed gear set.
The lower gears are useful for starting off from a stop or when
riding slowly or climbing steep hills. Higher gears are most
effective when riding at speed. The mid gears
fit into the space
between. As a normal bike, you will get used to using the gear
settings that are most comfortable for your ride and trip.

The twist shifter is located on the right side of the handlebar.
The gear shifting system and motor assist are entirely
independent; neither affects the other’s performance. Both work
toward the goal of propelling the bike, of course, and their
contributions are additive.!
