The Premiere Edition Bluejay utilizes a Shimano Alfine 8-speed internal geared hub, which means that it has eight different gears. They are numbered 1 (easiest) through 8 (hardest) on the gear indicator which is mounted on the right side of the handlebars.
The Premiere Edition Bluejay is powered by an electric motor that engages when the rider is pedaling, so gearing is necessary to accommodate varying levels of terrain and cargo. Lower gears are used when starting from a standstill or when riding up hills, and higher gears are used when the bike is moving at speed or going down hills.
