When . transporting . your . FLYER .
e-bike, .check .it .at .regular .intervals .to .
make . sure . it . is . securely . fastened. . If .
your .FLYER .falls .out .of .the .carrier, .it .
can .cause .serious .accidents.
•
Avoid .transporting .your .FLYER .on .the .
roof of a vehicle and always cover the
motor with a rain protection cover to
prevent . it . from . becoming . damaged. .
It .is .recommended .to .cover .the .entire .
FLYER . e-bike . with . a . rain . protection .
cover.
• Please note that loose parts, such
as tools, luggage and tool bags,
air . pumps . etc. . could . fall . off . during .
transport. .This .may .put .other .people .
on . the . road . at . risk. . All . loose . parts .
should therefore be removed from the
FLYER .before .you .set .off.

A .roof .rack .changes .the .total .height .of .
your .vehicle.
•

capacity .for .the .roof .of .the .vehicle.
The brake lever may not be pulled when
your .bike .is .lying .down .or .upside-down, .
or .if .a .wheel .has .been .removed.
Otherwise, . air . bubbles . can . form . in . the .
hydraulic system, which can lead to
brake . failure. . Each . time . you . transport .
your bike, check afterwards whether
the trigger point of the brake feels softer
than .before. .Then .slowly .apply .the .brake .
once. . This . removes . air . from . the . brake .
system.
If .the .trigger .point .remains .soft, .do .not .
use .your .bike. .Your .FLYER .specialist .re-
tailer .must .vent .the .brake.
You .can .avoid .this .problem .by .applying .
the brake lever before transport and
then . fixing . it . in . this . position . using . a .
strap. .This .prevents .any .air .from .enter-
ing . the . hydraulic . system. . Please . note .
that the brake lever may not be pulled
when . the . wheel . has . been . removed. .
Place a spacer between the brake
blocks .if .you .need .to .remove .the .wheel.

20. Wearing parts
Your .FLYER .is .a .technical .product .and .therefore .
requires .regular .inspection.
Many . parts . of . your . FLYER . are . subject . to . very .
rapid wear, depending on their function and the
extent .of .usage.
This includes:
• Tyres
• Brake pads
• Brake discs
• Bicycle chain or drive belt
•
Chain .wheels, .sprockets, .jockey .wheels
•
Lighting .system
• Handlebar grips
•
Lubricants
•
Gear .and .brake .cables
• Bearings
• Suspension elements
Have .your .FLYER .regularly .inspected .in .
a . FLYER . specialised . workshop . and .
have wearing parts replaced as re
-
quired. . Regular . visual . inspection . for .
cracks, scratches and damage to com
-
ponents .is .the .responsibility .of .the .rider.
As .is .the .case .with .all .mechanical .com-
ponents, . the . bicycle . is . subject . to . wear .
and .tear .and .high .stress. .Depending .on .
the degree of stress imposed on them,
different materials and parts may react
differently .in .terms .of .wear .and .fatigue. .A .
part .may .suddenly .fail .and .cause .injuries .
to the rider when its intended service life
