28.5 Danger of injury from splinters 29.1 Care
Generally, carbon fibres are very
hard and thin. It is possible that
individual fibres could become
loose and stick out. You should therefore
handle damaged carbon components
or frames very carefully. There is an
increase danger of injury through splin-
ters coming into contact with the skin.
Do not use a high pressure
water stream or a high pres-
sure cleaner on your bike.
Otherwise, the cleaning fluid could en-
ter enclosed bearings due to the high
pressure, which dilutes lubricant and
increases friction. As a result, rust is
formed which destroys the bearings.
The following products are unsuitable
for cleaning your pedelec:
• Acids
• Fats
• Hot oil
• Brake cleaner (excluding the brake
disks) or
• Solvent-based liquids.
These damage the surfaces and con-
tribute to wear on the pedelec.
After use, ensure that you dispose of
the lubricant, cleaning and care prod-
ucts in an environmentally friendly way.
These substances do not belong in do-
mestic waste, in the drain or in natural
environments.
The smooth functionality and long
life span of your pedelec depend on its
servicing and care.
• You should therefore regularly clean
your pedelec with warm water, a little
cleaning fluid and a sponge.
• While cleaning the bike, you should
check your pedelec for cracks, notch-
es or material deformities every time.
• Damaged parts have to be replaced.
Please only ride your pedelec again
after this check has been carried out.
• Remedy any damage to the paint-
work.
28.6 Attaching to assembly stands
If you want to fix your FLYER to an assembly
stand, for instance for cleaning the bike, you
are only permitted to do so using the seat
post. In other areas of the frame, the clamping
mechanism can cause both visible and invis-
ible damage.
28.7 Car transport
If you would like to transport your pedelec on
a rear carrier or roof rack, the bike should on
no account be fastened by moving parts such
as the fork, pedals or crankset. When fasten-
ing the bike by the frame, ensure that it is not
damaged by the fastening attachments.
Particularly in winter (road grit) and in the case
of aggressive weather or environments (e.g. by
the sea), you have to treat all easily rusting
parts particularly frequently with conservation
and care products. If you do not do this, your
FLYER will rust (corrode) quicker and more
dramatically.
• All zinced and chromed parts as well as
stainless steel components have to be
cleaned on a regular basis and treated with
wax polish.
29. Servicing and caring for your pedelec
Do not allow care products or
oils to taint the brake pads,
brake discs and brake surfaces
on the rims, as this will reduce the per-
formance of the brakes.
