Electronic Gear-shifting System
An "electronic gear-shifting system" is a method of changing gears, which enables riders to shift with electronic switches instead of using conventional control levers. The switches are connected by wire or wirelessly to a battery pack and to a small electric motor that drives the derailleur. An electronic system can calibrate itself and so may require less maintenance.
