You should have your pedelec
regularly checked by a spe-
cialist and have worn parts re-
placed if necessary.
• If you do not use your FLYER for a longer
period of time, e.g. in winter, store the pe-
delec in a dry place with a constant tem-
perature.
• Pump up both tyres with the prescribed tyre
pressure before you store your pedelec.
Further important information on caring for your
pedelec is provided on the website of your re-
spective component manufacturer. A list of links
is printed in chapter 31.
29.2 Parts subject to wear
As a technical product, your FLYER requires
regular checks.
In line with their function and level of use,
many parts on your pedelec are subject to high
levels of wear.
29.3 Tyres
Tyres are subject to wear due to their constant
use. The wear depends on the level of use of
the pedelec and can be influenced by the rider:
• Avoid locking the wheels under braking.
• Regularly check the tyre pressure. Adhere
to the maximum and minimum permitted
air pressure. Both are usually printed on
the side of the tyre.
• If the tyre pressure is too low, pump the
tyres up to the level stated. This helps re-
duce wear.
• Protect the tyres against damaging influ-
ences such as sun rays, petrol, oils etc.
29.4 Rims in connection with rim
brakes
Under braking, both the rim brakes and the
brake pads are in use and are subject to high
levels of wear given their function. Increased
wear can show through fine cracks or de-
formed rim edges. Clearly visible markings for
wear on the rims make it easier to identify the
level of wear.
• You should check the level of wear of the
rims at regular intervals (see chapter 18.3
“Checking the rims”).
29.5 Brake pads
The brake pads in rim, roller and disc brakes
are subject to wear due to their constant use.
The wear depends on the level of use of the
pedelec. For more demanding usage, i.e. rid-
ing in mountainous conditions or sporting use
of the pedelec, it may be necessary to replace
the brake pads relatively frequently. You should
check the wear level of the brake pads at regu-
lar intervals and have them replaced by a spe-
cialist if required.
