Gearshift Shimano Nexus
This type of gearshift system is designed to allow you to change gears at a standstill, without pedaling. This makes restarting easier, especially when the bike is loaded.
This system is also insensitive to shocks, as it is completely integrated into the hub of the rear wheel, and requires very little maintenance.
It is operated very simply via a turning handle.
ATTENTION: this system requires you to stop pedaling (1 second) to change gear.
Frame

Available as a low frame to facilitate striding for both men and women.
*double-butted tube: multi-layered tube to save weight: thicker at the ends for greater strength and thinner in the middle for greater comfort and better vibration absorption.

Maintenance tips
To limit punctures and get the most out of your bike, check the inflation every 15 days in daily use, or before each outing in occasional use.
Degrease and lubricate the chain as soon as accumulations of dirt appear.
Wash the frame with soapy water, avoiding high-pressure jets.
Storage/transport tips
Store the bike in a dry, temperate place. If used in a salty environment, wash regularly.
To transport a low-frame bike on a tailgate carrier, you'll need an adapter bar.
Restrictions on use
Not suitable for road use.
As the Dutch bike has wide handlebars, take care in narrow indoor and outdoor passages.
Design
Designed in Lille by a team of engineers and designers.
Assembled in the European Union.
A word from the team
"...a bike we've completely redesigned ourselves. And to get there, a design team of 4 people, lots of exchanges with component engineers, mock-ups, prototypes and lots of tests over 4 years.
We've worked to design a bike that's more resistant, where parts are available from the after-sales service.
So that using a bike in an urban environment remains one of the best alternatives to using the car while practicing a sporting activity."
Warranty
Lifetime for frame, stem, handlebars and fork.
2 years, excluding wear and tear, for all other components.
