Gears
Test ride in a safe area away from traffic to familiarize yourself with the function of the Gear Shifters and how to upshift and downshift.
Check that indexing (shifting from gear to gear) is crisp and that you are able to shift into the lowest and highest gears without the
Chain skipping.
If your Tern uses an Internal Gear Hub (IGH), avoid shifting and pedaling hard at the same time. Unlike derailleurs, most conventional
IGH's are designed in such a way that it shifts optimally when coasting or not pedaling / coasting / stationary. This mean Internal Gear
Hubs can shift when you are stopped, a very nice feature in stop-and-go urban traffic.
Check for tight links in the Chain and that the Chain turns freely through the Gears.
With a pedelec, drive assistance begins immediately when you step on the pedal. Squeeze the brakes before mounting your
bike to avoid any unintentional movement.
