:??: You can go from 1st to 2nd with one push and 2nd to 1st with one push.The tricky part is finding neutral.It is much easier to find neutral by gently lifting up from 1st till the green neutral light comes on.It is very easy to bypass neutral & go into 2nd gear.

What I was actually getting at (and not explaining very well :blush: ) was that each gear is a click away from the next, but 1st to 2nd is click click. I still manage, occasionally, to go from 1st to neutral when I set off without having my mind 100% on it.
