Check the tyre pressure. The manufacturer guide -
lines which may not be exceeded or undercut are
printed on the side of the tyres. Do not exceed
either the stipulated maximum pressure or drop
below the stipulated minimum pressure. General
comments: Lower air pressure gives greater trac -
tion and comfort, while higher air pressure reduc -
es resistance and extends range.
It is also necessary for you to check the following
components of your FLYER e-bike:
• Please check that the battery is secure.
• Check the charging state of the battery to en -
sure that the charge is sufficient for the drive
planned.
• Familiarise yourself with the functions of the
operating element.
Familiarize yourself with your
new FLYER e-bike’s riding and handling
performance by testing its features out in
a safe and quiet area.
1. Only use a FLYER with a frame size that
suits you. Ensure that your legs have
enough room to manoeuvre. You
must be able to dismount quickly with -
out touching the frame. Insufficient
clearance or room to manoeuvre may
lead to severe injuries.
2. Please note that while preparing to
mount your FLYER that it will imme -
diately start moving as soon as you
put your foot onto the pedal when the
support mode is switched on. Do not
place your foot on the pedal when
mounting. Hold the brake, as the
unfamiliar thrust may otherwise lead
to falls or other accidents. Stand to
one side of the FLYER and lift your
leg over the e-bike. Firmly hold the
handle bars with both hands, as you
would do with a bicycle.
3. Modern brakes have a substantially
higher braking performance than con -
ventional brakes. Carefully practise
using your brakes. Note that in wet
conditions and on slippery roads, your
bike’s braking power, especially when
using rim brakes, is severely reduced.
Example of tyre pressure information
Expect a longer braking distance if
you are riding in wet conditions. Look
ahead while riding and familiarise
yourself with the brakes' response
time.
If your pedals are produced with a rub -
ber or plastic coating, first carefully fa -
miliarise yourself with the grip of the
pedals. The pedals may be very slippery
under wet conditions. Use safe terrain
without traffic to familiarise yourself with
system pedals or clipless pedals.
1. Please note that the weight distribu -
tion of the e-bike is different from that
of a bicycle without electrical drive.
The weight of an e-bike makes park -
ing, lifting, carrying or pushing up-hill
more difficult.
2. Take note that your FLYER must be
equipped according to the legal re -
quirements if it is to be used in public
road traffic.
3. Check with your insurance whether
your vehicle and possible risks of
handling lithium/ion batteries are suf -
ficiently covered.
