The Flatshifter Max is the ideal solution For everyone.
The Flatshifter electric shifter is a fully electronic gearshift system which should be best described as an ‘electric limb’ which can be operated by two discreet buttons or (optional extra) gearshift 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 motorcycles electric system and uses a powerful specially designed electrical solenoid that replaces`s the hand or foot actions when gear selection is required. Unlike compressed air shifters, there is virtually no maintenance, once fitted also no bulky inconvenient air bottles to fill or to inconveniently run out.
The Max system is dual acting for both up & down gear shifts, and is very fast and consistent – typically 35 – 50 milliseconds on Japanese gearboxes but also works on almost any sequential gearbox from motorbikes to rally and race cars using elite Sadev Hewland Quaife etc transmissions.
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 with your hand or foot – the Flatshifter electric gear shifter kit is the ideal solution for everyone.

MOTORCYCLE NEWS ROAD TEST
Time tested: 1500 miles/8 weeks
What’s good? Simply, that 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 has 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 Kliktronic 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 clutchless 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.

As far as our thoughts on the Max shifter: The Flat Shifter Max is a great solution for our car, it enables us to shift rapidly and reliably in competition. It has proved much more effective than any previous shifters we’ve tried.
