It's not intuitive but you'll get used to it. I've been riding them for two years and the gear shifting has become second nature to me now - even after a long period of not using it . No major maintenance or no problem just occasional easy cable tension adjustment .
Very minor down sides but you'll have a lot more fun than the 3 speed.
