The Flatshifter Max electronic gear shifter is dual acting for both up & downshifts and is very fast and consistent. Suitable for virtually any kind of riding or driving, whether you are looking for a fast change for racing or track days, comfort and convenience when cruising, or whether you have a disability preventing you from changing gear easily. The Flatshifter Max is the ideal solution For everyone.
The Flatshifter electric shifter is a fully electronic gear-shift system that should be best described as an ‘electric limb’ which can be operated by two discreet buttons or (optional extra) gear-shift paddles. In the case of motorcycles and trikes, the buttons are usually mounted on the left handlebar conveniently beneath the thumb; when fitted to cars the buttons or paddles are mounted on the steering wheel.
The system is powered by the car or motorcycle’s electric system and uses a powerful specially designed electrical solenoid that replaces the hand or foot actions when gear selection is required. Unlike compressed air shifters, there is virtually no maintenance once fitted. Also, there are no bulky, inconvenient air bottles to fill or inconveniently run out.

“What’s good? Simply, I’m able to ride a bike after a long time off. In March 2009 I crashed while racing at Brands Hatch and suffered several injuries, one of which left me unable to move my left foot. For some time I thought I would never be able to ride a bike again and with bikes having been a large part of my life for 35 years that really wasn’t something I wanted to consider.
After looking at the various options I chose to fit a Flatshifter electric gear changer to my Ducati Monster 695. It is basically an electrical actuator that’s mounted to the frame with a purpose-built bracket and connects to the gear lever. When I press buttons on the left handlebar the actuator moves the gear lever either up or down to change gears.
.After a brief tutorial, and with much apprehension, I set off for a quick lap of the industrial estate. It was simple to use and after my initial nerves had settled I was soon beaming… I was back on a bike, after four years.
My first trip was to ride back home from the workshop, a distance of some 70 miles. I had a couple of stops en-route and was shattered when I got home because I’d concentrated so hard. The device works smoothly and allows clutch-less changes up through the gears. I was also pleased to find that when I informed my insurance company of the modification it didn’t affect my premium. Since starting riding again I’ve taken advantage of the good weather and have just come back from a 500-mile round trip to North Wales and am already planning a jaunt to Europe next year. It’s great to be back.
What’s not to like? There’s nothing negative about it.”
