Why does my bike not shift gears at all?
Because of that, many of the screws and gears and such have rust on them (I know, I’m an idiot for leaving it outside and probably ruined it, but I’m trying to fix what I can). The bike is still ride-able and the chain moves okay, but the bike is stuck on the number 5 gear.
Do you actually use the gears on your e-bike?
With three chainrings at the front, I tend to use the largest one in unassisted mode, the centre one in assisted mode, and the smallest ‘granny ring’ on extremely rare occasions in unassisted mode. As most of my riding is off road, in assisted mode the bikes spends most of it’s time in one of the largest four gears of the rear cassette.

How many gears do I have on my bike?
(My bike has three gears on the left handle and 7 on the right). The left handle moves fine, although I’ve never used it much anyway, I usually just leave it on 2.
Why does my bike not go into gear?
Shift the bike into gear. Try manually rotating the primary clutch; the bike should move. If the bike does not move, you likely have an issue inside the gearbox. One of the most common issues one could be facing with a gearbox’s internals is having a worn or bent shift fork.

How do you shift gears on a bicycle?
First gear is a low gear. Twenty-first gear is a high gear. That’s pretty easy, right? Shifting means going from one gear to another. You shift gears by sliding the shifter on the handlebars. On most bikes, this shifts the chain onto a different sized ring. On three-speed bikes the gears are inside the hub of the wheel so you don’t see them.

Why does my transmission Grind when I shift gears?
When your manual transmission grinds when shifting gears that is typically a condition related to the clutch not releasing, the shift synchronizer rings inside the transmission itself worn or broken, or a shifter wear or adjustment problem.
Why is it difficult to shift from first to second gear?
Once the engagement is made, the backlash is quite small because of the half-height dogs. I have spoken before about the shift from first to second, which is a difficult one because of the speed difference being larger than from second to third and so forth. Quite often the engaging dogs on second gear get rounded off by spirited shifting.
What causes the shift arm to move too far?
Another set of problems comes about from either pushing the shift drum too far, in which case the gearbox jumps into a neutral of the ratio you were selecting or kicks back out of the ratio to which you were shifting. There’s an eccentric pin in the assembled engine that determines how far the shift arm can move.
