E-bikers can adjust AUTO SHIFT to match where they ride and how they like to shift gears. The two key settings that affect the AUTO SHIFT experience are "Shift timing" and "Climbing response." Using the E-TUBE PROJECT Cyclist application, you can try our recommended settings or fine-tune them in three quick steps.
Please note that AUTO SHIFT's menu options and settings may differ based on your specific bike setup.
Please check the parts configuration of your bike

Adjusting the "Shift timing" helps AUTO SHIFT match how fast or slow you want to pedal your bike.
“Climbing response” sets how easily the bike shifts to an easier gear when the rider pushes harder on the pedals going uphill.
・ Lighter riders
・ Riders who prefer an easier gear while climbing
・ Heavier riders
・ Riders who prefer a harder gear while climbing
Choose whether you want gears to shift automatically while pedaling, eliminating the need for manual gear shifting.
Choose whether you want gears to shift automatically while coasting, eliminating the need for manual gear shifting.
AUTO SHIFT characteristics are optimized according to the selected "Riding Scene." You can choose either "Pavement" for flat, paved roads or "MTB" for unpaved roads with up and down.
Set the slider to the lowest gear you find comfortable when starting from a stop. The lower the gear, the easier the start.
The E-TUBE PROJECT Cyclist App needs a wireless connection to your E-BIKE with SHIMANO E-BIKE SYSTEMS. Without a wireless unit, you may need to visit a dealer to customize AUTO SHIFT using E-TUBE PROJECT Professional for Windows.
