  • Řazení nahoru: Use the larger lever on the right shifter to shift to a higher gear (harder to pedal, faster speed).
  • Řazení dolů: Use the smaller lever on the right shifter to shift to a lower gear (easier to pedal, slower speed).
  • Shift gears smoothly by pedaling lightly while shifting. Avoid shifting under heavy load.

  • Levá páčka ovládá přední brzdu a pravá páčka zadní brzdu.
  • Apply both brakes simultaneously for effective and controlled stopping.
  • Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially with the front brake, as this can lead to loss of control.
