Safety Quick start Riding Maintenance Resources
To prevent dropping or jamming the chain
or missing a gear, do not shift gears when
you ride over bumps.
Front cargo: internal gear hub (IGH)
For best shifting, let off some pressure
on the pedals at the time of shifting. Too
much tension on the belt prevents the cor-
rect operation of the gear change mecha-
nism and could damage the mechanism.
The IGH system allows you to shift while
the bike is not moving — for example, you
could shift into a lower gear at a stop sign
for easier startup.
Pedaling
Your bike is equipped with at pedals.
They don’t require special footwear, and
your feet are free to move on and off the
pedal.
