SHIFTER
Some FITFIU E-Bikes come with gears, which consists of:
•
A rear sprocket cluster, called a freewheel or cog set
•
A rear derailleur
•
One swifter
•
One control cable
•
One front sprocket called a chaining
•
A drive chain
There are many different types of swifter mechanisms, each preferred for specific applications because
of its ergonomic design, performance and price characteristics. A downshift is a shift to a lower or lower
gear, one which is easier to pedal. An upshift is a shift to a higher or faster gear, one which is harder to
pedal. For example, you can downshift to a lower gear to make pedalling easier on a hill. On the other
hand, you may upshift to a higher gear when you wish to go faster.
Whether up-shifting or downshifting, the derailleur system requires the drive chain to be moving forward
and be under at least some tension. A derailleur will shift only if you are pedalling forward.
CAUTION
Never move the swifter while pedalling backward. Also do not pedal backwards
after moving the swifter. Either of these actions could jam chain and cause serious
damage to the E-Bikes.
DERAILLEUR SYSTEM
The derailleur system includes the front and rear derailleur, the shift levers, and the derailleur control
cables, all of which must function properly for smooth gear shifting to occur.
DERAILLEUR
Although the front and rear derailleur are initially adjusted in our factory, you will need to inspect and
read just both before riding the bicycle.
REAR DERAILLEUR
Begin by shifting the rear swifter to the largest number indicated, loosen the cable from the rear
derailleur cable anchor bolt, and place the chain on the smallest sprocket.
Adjust the high limit screw so that the guide pulley and the smallest sprocket are lined up vertically.
Re-tighten the cable, pull out any slack, and re-tighten the anchor bolt securely, shifting through
gears, and making sure that each gear is achieved quietly and without hesitation. If necessary, use the
barrel adjuster to fine tune the cable tension by turning it to the direction you want the chain to go. For
example, turning clockwise will loose the cable tension and move the chain away from the wheel, while
turning it counter-clockwise will tighten the cable tension and direct the chain to the wheel.
