A method for electronically controlling a bicycle gearshift comprising a support unit configured to be mounted on a bicycle frame at an assembly of toothed wheels coaxial with one another of the gearshift and a mobile unit comprising a chain guide. The method comprising the steps of: moving the mobile unit to impart on the chain guide a primary displacement having at least a component in axial direction with respect to an axis (Z) of the assembly of toothed wheels; and, moving the mobile unit to impart onto the chain guide a secondary displacement having at least a component in radial direction with respect to the axis (Z) of the assembly of toothed wheels, wherein the secondary displacement is carried out independently of the primary displacement.
