Brake discs and brake pads are particu
-
larly . subject . to . wear. . Have . these . safe-
ty-related .components .regularly .checked .
for . wear . and . changed . as . required . by .
your .FLYER .specialist .retailer.
If .the .brake .system .needs .to .be .cleaned, .contact .
your .FLYER .specialist .retailer.

maintain the brake system and change individual

Back pedal brakes
If . your . FLYER . is . equipped . with . back . pedal .
brakes, brake by pushing the pedals backwards
instead .of .forwards. .This .means .that .your .bicycle .
will not freewheel and you are unable to rotate the
pedals .backwards .freely .as .you .otherwise .can.
Back pedal brakes work best when both
cranks .are .in .a .horizontal .position. .If .one .
crank is pointing up and the other one
down, less force can be applied and
braking .is .less .effective.
The effectiveness of back pedal brakes
can deteriorate substantially on long
slopes .if .they .are .used .on .their .own.
This type of braking system can become
very . hot . from . continuous . braking. . Use .
the .rim .brakes .too .on .long .slopes.
Wait until the back pedal brake has
cooled down and do not touch the brake
drum.
Ensure that the brake anchor plate is
correctly attached with the appropriate
screw .when .removing .or .installing .it.

Lighting system
Your . FLYER . e-bike's . lighting . system . is . usually .
powered .by .the .battery. .When .the .battery .is .emp-
ty, .the .light .should .still .work .for .about .one .hour.
The headlight must be aligned to illuminate the
road according to the legal regulations of your
country.
Have the lighting system checked and, if
necessary, . replaced . by . your . FLYER .
specialist .retailer .if .a .fault .occurs.

Different lighting systems are installed depending
on .the .area .of .use .and .bicycle .type. .
