Hand Control Gear Changes with Electric Shifter Kits
Look Mum, No Feet…
This awesome bit of tech lets you change up and down through your gears with the touch of a button on your handlebar. There’s no need to use your feet for shifting.
You can achieve lightning fast gearshifts using this module because it also takes care of your clutch for you.
It really doesn’t get any simpler than this. No need for a left foot, no need to control your clutch, everything is instant. By instant I mean you don’t really need to back off the throttle while changing gears.
Pingel really have made this a remarkable upgrade for any bike.
Note: This is an old video but it explains it well.
Who Is This Made For?
I’m not sure what their original motivation was when they designed this unit but it is ideal for a couple of different groups.
Note: If you fit into both of these groups then you have to get one installed ASAP!
Speed Demons
when I say you can instantly shift gears lightning fast that is no exaggeration. You can go full throttle and keep it maxed while you pop through the gears.
The electric shifter kit will change your gears and control your clutch perfectly. Super fast, super clean shifting.
Note: You may want to upgrade your clutch if this is your preferred driving style.
Pingel love pushing the limits of research and development so they put a version of this unit on a drag motorcycle. Larry “Spiderman” McBride had a 5.76s run in November 2014.
That is an extreme test of it’s capabilities.
Missing a Limb
If you’ve lost a leg or have an issue that makes shifting gears with your foot difficult or impossible then this beauty will let you keep riding.
Losing the use of a lower limb doesn’t mean you lose your freedom to ride. install one of these and you are good to go.
I like to think this was the motivation behind this innovation because it truly helps people continue to enjoy riding.
We recently installed an electric shifter kit for a guy who has had his left leg amputated at the knee joint. He was a cool guy to chat with and he explained that riding keeps him sane and I’m sure we can all relate to that.
Special Thanks to man known as One Leg for allowing us to use pictures of his motorcycle in this article. It was great chatting with you.
What Do You Get in the Pingel Electric Shifter Kit?
Pingel Electric Speed Shifter Kits include a dual button handlebar control, a shift cylinder support bracket and the state of the art control module which sends a quick signal from the dual button handlebar control to the shift cylinder. Also included is the electronic engine kill module and step-by-step instructions with photos for an easy 2-3 hour installation.
Installation Instructions can be downloaded from our website. It’s worth looking at these to decide if you want to do it yourself or book it into a workshop. We recently installed one and our mechanic did an awesome job of concealing all of the wiring to maintain the clean look of the motorcycle shown in this article.
