Controlling the ratio of the N360 is simply a matter of rotating the shifter grip. The shifter display indicates ratio as a simple graphic; a hill for slower speeds and a flat for faster speeds. Since there are no fixed gears, the exact ratio is determined by your comfort level.
This indicator was introduced by the US-based NuVinci company in 2010. In 2018, the company was rebranded to Enviolo as part of a bankruptcy restructuring.
