Shimano Nexus gear changes
This type of gear system is designed to let you change gears when stationary, without pedalling. It makes it easier to get your bike going again, particularly when you're carrying a lot of stuff.
The system is also shock-resistant because it's completely integrated into the rear wheel's hub and therefore needs very little maintenance.
There's a grip shifter to control it.
WARNING: the system needs you to stop pedalling for 1 second to change gears.

CARE TIPS
To prevent punctures and to get the most out of your bike, check the tyre pressure every fortnight when you're using the bike daily, or before each ride if you only use it occasionally. Degrease and lubricate the chain as soon as dirt begins to accumulate. Wash the frame with soapy water; do not use a high pressure water jet.
Storage/transport tips
Store your bike in a dry, cool place. If riding near the sea, clean your bike regularly to protect it from salt damage.
