Shimano | Q’Auto
Shimano’s Q’AUTO technology introduces modern automatic shifting features to traditional bikes without batteries, charging, or operating stress. The system uses a self-powered rear hub that generates energy during rides to activate sensors for speed and cadence. An automatic shift logic, enhanced by self-learning algorithms, ensures smooth riding that adapts to the rider’s style. Ideal for urban riders, it allows full focus on traffic and is user-friendly for beginners. Q’AUTO improves city and commuter bikes and sets a new standard as a battery-free automatic shifting system, earning recognition from the jury.
