How to use gears on electric bike?

Using gears on an electric bike is similar to using gears on a traditional bike. The gears impact the resistance and difficulty of pedaling, allowing the rider to optimize their effort and speed. Most electric bikes come with a derailleur system that allows the rider to shift gears using a SHIFTER that is usually located on the right-hand side of the handlebars. To use the gears, start pedaling and adjust the SHIFTER to a lower gear for uphill climbs or a higher gear for flat or downhill stretches. Some electric bikes also have automatic gears that adjust based on the rider's pedal cadence and speed. It's important to refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions on using the gears for your particular electric bike model.
