Gears
Some KORNORGE eBikes come with gears, which consists of:
• Rear sprocket cluster, called freewheel or cog set
• Rear derailleur
• Shifter
• Control cable
• Front sprocket, called chaining
• Drive chain
The gear mechanism differs in ergonomic design, performance and
price.
A downshift is a shift to a lower or slower gear, which makes pedaling
easier. An upshift is a shift to a higher or faster gear, which makes
pedaling harder. In practice, you can upshift to go faster, and you can
downshift to go uphill.
A shift is possible only when you are pedaling forward, i.e. the drive
chain is moving forward and under some tension.
CAUTION
Never shift when pedaling backward. Also, do not pedal backwards
after a shift. Either action may jam the chain and cause serious
damage to your eBike.
