Focus IMPULSE EVO PEDELEC - Belt Cleaning; Gears

Original User Guide | Impulse Evo pedelec Version 2 US-33
The gears are operated by controls on the handlebars (gear lever, twist
grips, ...). The gear shift allows you to adjust the gear of your bike and the
transmission to the current situation. On a straight level stretch a higher
gear is sensible to achieve and maintain a higher speed without having to
pedal too much.

Derailleur *
With this system the chain is lifted on to
a sprocket when changing gear. The
chain must continue moving so that the
teeth of the sprocket can engage with
the chain links easily and smoothly.
For a successful gear change you must
therefore keep pedaling forwards, never
backwards! – but at the same time
pedaling lightly and without force.
Hub gear*
Here the change of gear takes place in-
side the rear wheel hub. Space is very
tight inside the hub, therefore it is sen-
sible to pedal lightly when changing
gear.

WARNING
Never shift a derailleur onto the largest or the smallest sprocket if
the derailleur is not shifting smoothly. The derailleur may be out of
adjustment and the chain could jam, causing you to lose control and
fall.
If you have difficulties with shifting, the problem could be
mechanical adjustment. See your dealer.
