An electronic shifting system refers to a type of gearshift used in bicycles that allows electronic control of gear shifting.
An electronic bicycle gearshift, also known as an e-gearshift, is a gearshift that is controlled electronically rather than mechanically. It consists of an electronic derailleur, a shift lever and a control unit that controls the gear shifting. These gearshifts allow the rider to change gears more quickly and precisely and often also offer the option of automatically adjusting the gear shifting to the speed and inclination angle of the bike.
Electronic bicycle shifting works by receiving signals from shifters or other controls and passing those signals on to the electronic derailleur. The derailleur then responds to those signals by moving the chain from one sprocket to the next. Shifting is controlled by electronic control rather than mechanical levers or cables.
When choosing an electronic gear system for a bicycle, the following aspects should be considered:
It is also important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to ensure that the gear system is installed and maintained correctly. Overall, electronic gearing for bicycles can offer some advantages, such as more precise gear shifting and the ability to automatically adjust gear shifting based on the speed and lean angle of the bike.
You should consider compatibility, control, battery life, maintenance requirements and price before choosing an electronic circuit.
Wenn in München die Wiesn-Zeit beginnt, heißt es wieder „O’zapft is!“. Millionen Besucher strömen jedes Jahr zum Oktoberfest, um bayerische Tradition, Tracht, Bier und Gaudi zu genießen. Doch während Festzeltstimmung und Fahrgeschäfte locken, stellt sich schnell die Frage: Wie kommt man am besten hin und wieder sicher nach Hause? Eine clevere Antwort darauf ist: mit dem Fahrrad!
Radfahren ist weit mehr als nur Sport oder Fortbewegung – es ist auch ein soziales Erlebnis. Immer mehr Radbegeisterte schließen sich sogenannten Social Rides an. Dabei geht es nicht um Bestzeiten oder knallhartes Training, sondern um Gemeinschaft, Spaß und geteilte Leidenschaft fürs Rad.
Sarcopenia – this medical term refers to a very real problem: the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. Starting around the age of 50, the body loses up to 1–2% of its muscle mass annually. The consequences: weakness, unsteadiness when walking, and the risk of falls. But this doesn't have to be the case. Exercise is the best remedy for muscle atrophy – and this is precisely where the e-bike comes in. It enables regular, joint-friendly muscle training even in old age – without overexertion.
