How to minimize wear and tear by shifting gears correctly | Rebike.com

How do you shift gears correctly? In this how-to video, REBIKE expert Maxi explains the mistakes that many e-bike riders make when shifting gears and how you can avoid them to protect your bike and the nerves and ears of your fellow riders.

Mistake no. 1: Shifting gears too little. Many e-bikers often ride in the wrong gears - usually too hard - and hardly notice it thanks to the motor support. But this puts enormous strain on the drivetrain, especially the three heaviest gears.

Mistake no. 2: Shifting under full load. If you change gears with a lot of pressure and it cracks loudly, your material suffers. This can lead to high wear or even a broken chain.

Why is incorrect shifting harmful?
Permanently heavy gears put a strain on your drivetrain and lead to wear on the sprockets and chain. Your motor has to work harder, which drains the battery more quickly. Shifting gears correctly therefore reduces the load on the motor and increases the service life of your bike.

Maxi's tips for correct shifting:
Use all gears, especially on climbs. Start in an easy gear and shift in good time.
Pay attention to the correct cadence - ideally between 70 and 85 revolutions per minute.
Reduce the pressure when shifting so that the chain shifts smoothly.

Follow these tips and you will enjoy your e-bike for longer. Maxi shows you exactly how to do it in the video - so have fun shifting gears and riding!
