Shift System - continued
CAUTION: Do not force the shift lever. Shift only when pedaling forward and without strong force. Do not backpedal. Backpedaling can cause the chain to come off the sprockets. Backpedaling and shifting while not pedaling can damage the sprockets and stretch the cable wire.
There is no “correct gear” in which to ride the bicycle. The “correct gear” is the one that is comfortable to you.
To select a gear while riding (this model has only one Front Sprocket (A)).
1.While pedaling, shift the chain onto different rear sprocket.
2.You will feel a difference in the rhythm and ease of pedaling.
3.Shift the chain to the gear that allows you to pedal at a rhythm and effort that is comfortable to you.
4.When riding uphill or against the wind, you may wish to shift the chain onto a larger rear sprocket (B).
