table listing the most important screw connections
and .the .prescribed .fastening .torques .is .provided .
in .the .“technical .data” .for .your .FLYER, .while .notes .
on .the .correct .use .of .quick-release .fasteners .and .
quick-release .axles .are .provided .in .Chapter .11.1. .
When .you .are .riding .with .clipless/step-in .pedals:
Functional .testing .is .required. .The .pedals .should .
release .easily .and .smoothly.
Check .the .tyre .pressure. .The .manufacturer .guide-
lines which may not be exceeded or undercut are
printed .on .the .side .of .the .tyres.
It .is .also .necessary .for .you .to .check .the .following .
components .of .your .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.
Familiarise yourself with your new
FLYER .e-bike’s .riding .and .handling .per-
formance by testing its features out in a
safe .and .quiet .area.
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 .
without .touching .the .frame.
Insufficient . clearance . or . room . to . ma-
noeuvre .may .lead .to .severe .injuries.
Please note that while preparing to mount
your .FLYER .that .it .will .immediately .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 other
-
wise . 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.
Example of tyre pressure information
Modern . brakes . have . a . substantially .
higher braking performance than con
-
ventional . brakes. . Carefully . practise . us-
ing .your .brakes.
Note .that .when .riding .in .wet .conditions .
and .on .slippery .roads, .your .bike’s .brak-
ing power, particularly the rim brakes,
can .be .severely .weakened.
Expect a longer braking distance if you
are .riding .in .wet .conditions.
Look .ahead .while .riding .and .familiarise .
yourself .with .the .brakes' .response .time.
Some . S-Pedelecs . are . also . equipped .
with .a .self-folding .kickstand. .Ensure .that .
the kickstand folds up as soon as the
e-bike .is .put .upright .or .as .soon .as .pres-
sure is no longer being exerted on the
kickstand. .
Make .sure .you .always .hold .your .e-bike .
firmly .with .both .hands .before .you .start .to .
put .it .upright. .
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 .
step-in .or .clipless .pedals.
Please note that the weight distribution
of . the . e-bike . is . significantly . different .
from that of a bicycle without electrical
drive.
The .weight .of .an .e-bike .makes .parking, .
lifting, carrying or pushing uphill more
difficult.
Take . note . that . your . FLYER . must . be .
equipped .according .to .the .legal .require-
ments if it is to be used in public road
traffic.
