DERAILLEUR GEAR SYSTEM
Derailleur or "D" refers to an external shifting mechanism. It consists of a chain, multiple precision sprockets and a derailleur to "derail" the chain from one sprocket to another. It allows for quick transitions and more gearing options. Just remember to pedal while shifting and you're good to go!
FLAT FOOT TECHNOLOGY
You really need to ride an Electra bike to feel the magic of Flat Foot Technology, but overall the benefits are comfort and control. It provides an upright, relaxed riding position with proper leg extension that allows you to plant your feet flat on the ground whenever you want or need to.
