GEARS DERAILLEUR GEARS
The gears of your URBAN JUNGLE bike (a+b) serve to adjust the gear ratio to the terrain you are riding on and the desired speed.
A low gear (where in the case of derailleur gears the chain runs on the small chainring and a large sprocket) allows you to climb steep hills with moderate pedalling force. You must, howe- ver, pedal at a faster pace. High gears (large chainring, small sprocket) are for riding downhill. Every turn of the pedals takes you many metres forward at correspondingly high speed.
WARNING
Continue pedalling at reduced cadence during gear shifting, however, at clearly reduced pedalling force. In particular when shifting through the chainrings continue pedalling slowly and without force.
With URBAN JUNGLE pedelecs reduce the cadence and the pedalling force shortly before you start shifting. In doing so there is a short interruption of the drive. If you continue pedalling, the high chain forces could result in a chain failure.
Practise switching gears in a place free of traffic until you are familiar with the functio- ning of the levers or twist grips of your URBAN JUNGLE bike.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
URBAN JUNGLE pedelecs have only one chainring. As a consequence there is no front derailleur and no shifter on the left handlebars.
Read the gear manufacturer’s manual carefully and practise shifting gears until you are familiar with it before you set off for the first time.
