  • The 6 speed does sound like a bit of a faff though, having to alternate two levers to go up and down gears, not sure I want to have anything extra taking my attention from the maniac drivers while commuting.
    Found the 2 speed to be a bit spinny, I think they only offer the choice to go down and not up on the gearing of the 2 speed.

    I'd like to know more of the tech specs around the difference between the power modes on the electric, I honestly couldn't tell that much difference between the three.

  • Using the shifters becomes automatic after a short while, but you don't tend to go up through the gears; when I've borrowed one I mostly use it like a 3-speed with the option for fine-tuning.

  • Yeah, this. Building up to speed I tend to use "2nd", then "4th", then flick the rear derailleur into "5th". Just have to flick the shifter back onto the smaller sprocket when slowing down to stop.
