• Call attention to your presence when you are
looking to pass others on paths and routes.
Do not startle them, but rather ride past them
slowly, or stop.
• Respect grazing animals and wild animals in
woodland and meadows. Do not leave any
field or meadow gates open and once dusk has
fallen do not ride through woodland, so as to
avoid disturbing the peace of animals foraging
for food.
• Plan your trip carefully and take weather fore-
casts into account. Assess your own abilities
properly, taking them into account when select-
ing your route, and take the appropriate equip-
ment with you. This includes tools, food and
drink and a first-aid kit for unforeseen situa
-
tions. For your own safety you should wear the
appropriate equipment (helmet, protectors).
• Do not leave any litter behind you.
You should always wear protectors
and a helmet for your safety.
Keep body parts and clothing away from
chain rings, the moving chain and rot-
ating pedals, cranks and gears.
Wear light-coloured, clearly visible clot-
hing that is su ciently close-fitting so as
not to get caught on moving parts of the
bike or on objects on the road or trail.

Special instructions for FLYER
with carbon frame
If your FLYER has a carbon frame,
please read and observe the following
information: Although carbon frames
ha e the benefit of reducing fatigue, they
must be inspected regularly. Carbon
frames are stable and lightweight. How-
ever, in the event of an accident or over-
loading, they break rather than deform.
routes with a moderate incline and jumps of up to
61 cm. (See Chapter 7.4 for a description of the
range of use.)
Appropriate protective equip-
ment (a suitable helmet, glo-
ves) must be worn.
Retailers and manufacturers shall not be held
liable in the event of use that goes beyond the
intended purpose. This applies in particular to
failure to comply with safety instructions and the
resulting damage, for example caused by
•
use on rough terrain, jumps, steep descents,
bike parks
•
overloading, or
•
improper remedying of defects. FLYER e-
MTBs are not designed to withstand extreme use,
e.g. steep descents or high jumps, performing
tricks or stunts, or taking part in unauthorised
competitions.
Before riding on public roads with your FLYER,
inform yourself about the current riding regulati-
ons in your country. Only ride on pathways and
trails that are permitted for vehicles.
Fast e-MTBs
Goroc Full Suspension MTBs have as-
sistance up to 45 km/h. Please read
Chapter 6 “Legal requirements / Fast
e-MTB” for information on
using your motor vehicle..
8.1 Responsible E-MTB riding
When using your FLYER MTB, ensure that you
ride responsibly, respecting nature, the environ-
ment and other people. As a result of your consid-
erate behaviour, nature is preserved as a location
for you to enjoy your sport and your interaction
with other users will remain conflict-free.
Therefore, please observe the following rules:
• You must ride only on designated area, and
keep nature from being damaged. Comply
with any route closures and cycling bans and
respect nature and wildlife conservation areas,
as these are imposed for a good reason.
•
Except in emergency situations, you should not
brake by locking your wheels as this causes
soil erosion and damage to paths and routes.
• Ride under control, with care, and at an ap-
propriate speed. You should always be able
to stop within the range of your vision, in case
obstacles, other riders or pedestrians should
suddenly appear.
