Ideal for adventures big and small: You can define a starting gear via the eBike Flow app. The system will then automatically shift to the predefined gear, and you will be able to set off more easily at traffic lights, for example.

The automatic gear change ensures a harmonious riding experience, allowing you to enjoy your ride that much more.

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

Focus on the trail, shift gears at the touch of a button: The motor cuts out briefly and the gear is engaged. By pressing and holding, you can shift several gears at once. You can even shift when you're freewheeling.

If you want a more relaxed ride, you can have eShift change gears for you. If the gear is not ideal, you can shift gears yourself at any time and temporarily override automatic shifting – as your riding situation requires.
