Sneak Plus EQ Shift

The Rose Sneak Plus EQ Shift HighStep is available in frame sizes S to L, the MidStep in sizes S and M. Which size is suitable for you depends primarily on your body height.
You can find a specific size recommendation directly in the selection field for the frame size. Additionally, you can check the information in the frame geometry table.

If you are between two sizes, you will sit in a more sporty, compact and bent forward position on the smaller frame, and the handling will tend to be more agile. A larger frame, on the other hand, provides a smoother ride and you will sit slightly more upright and stretched out. Most riders tend to choose the smaller frame, but personal preferences and body proportions vary greatly. To be sure, arrange a test ride at your nearest Rose store. Alternatively, the Rose customer service can also help you with your size decision.

When the system is switched on, the front and rear lighting of the Sneak Plus EQ Shift activates automatically.
To switch it off, hold down the bottom button on the handlebar remote for about two seconds. You switch the lighting back on the same way.
Important: When the lighting is switched off, the signal light does not work either.

The luggage rack of the Rose Sneak Plus EQ Shift can be loaded with up to 8 kg per side. When choosing panniers, ensure that they are suitable for luggage rack struts with a tube diameter of 8 mm.
Use only accessories that can be securely attached to the luggage rack and do not exceed the permitted load.

With the integrated 250 Wh battery, the Sneak Plus EQ Shift achieves a range of up to 90 km. Thanks to the low weight, you can also travel quickly without motor assistance.
A 170 Wh range extender is available for additional motor assistance. It is attached to the frame like a water bottle and enables up to 55 km more range – ideal for longer journeys, without having to carry it permanently. Due to the frame geometry, the Range Extender is not compatible with the MidStep model.
The actual range depends on, among other things, the following factors:

• Selected assistance level
• Inclines
• Ground and wind conditions
• Rider’s weight and luggage
• Temperature
• Tyres and tyre pressure

The battery of the Sneak Plus EQ Shift charges to 80 % in less than two hours with the supplied Mahle Active Charger. A full charge takes about three hours. As soon as the Mahle Active Charger lights up green, the battery is charged.
To charge, connect the charger to the charging port above the bottom bracket. The charging process starts automatically. You can read the current charge level on the battery level indicator of the Head Unit in the top tube.

The battery of the Sneak Plus EQ Shift is firmly integrated into the frame and is not intended for regular removal. It can only be removed for replacement.
