Ideal for adventures big and small: You can define a starting gear using the eBike Flow app. The system then automatically shifts to the predefined gear and you can start off more easily at traffic lights, for example.

The automatic gear change ensures a smooth riding experience, allowing you to enjoy your ride even more.

Switch between manual and automatic shifting simply by pressing a button or combination of buttons on the shifter. Your display shows which eShift variant is active.
