22. Wearing parts
Your FLYER is a technical product and therefore
requires regular inspection.
Depending on the function and despite the de-
gree of use, many parts on your FLYER are able
to show signs of wear and tear.
This includes:
• Tyres
• Brake pads
• Brake discs
• Bicycle chains
• Chain wheels, sprockets, jockey wheels
• Handlebar grips
• Gear and brake cables
• Bearings
• Suspension elements
Have your FLYER regularly inspected in
a FLYER specialised workshop and
have wearing parts changed as re-
quired. Regular visual inspection for
cracks, scratches and damage to com-
ponents is the responsibility of the driver.
The bicycle is subject to wear and high
stress as are all other mechanical com-
ponents. Depending on the degree of
stress imposed on them, different mate
-
rials and parts may react differently in
terms of wear and fatigue. A part may
suddenly fail and cause injuries to the
driver when its designed service life is
exceeded. Any kind of cracks, scratches
or colour changes in high-stress areas
are an indicator that the service life of
the component has been exceeded and
that it should be replaced. This is espe-
cially true for FLYER bikes with a carbon
frame. Damage on a carbon frame is not
always visible. If your bike is involved in
a crash or accident, have the carbon
frame inspected by your FLYER dealer.
23. Inspection plan
After the first 200 ridden kilometres
or after 4 months:
FLYER specialist retailer
•
Check the firm attachment of all screws, nuts
and quick release fasteners
• Check the wheels and centre them as required
• Check the tyres
• Check the fastening torque on all parts
• Adjust the headset
• Check the brake and shifter cables
• Check the gear system and adjust if necessary
Never drive without a battery or with your
system switched off, as the functions of
the operating unit and the lighting func-
tions are not available in this case.
Always remove the battery before clean-
ing, maintaining or repairing your e-bike.
Ensure that you do not touch and thus
possibly connect contacts when clean-
ing or maintaining the battery. You risk
being hurt and the battery may suffer
damage if the contacts are live. Do not
use a high pressure water stream or a
high pressure cleaner on your bike. The
cleaning liquid may enter sealed bear-
ings due to high pressure, dilute the lu-
bricant and increase friction. As a result,
rust is formed which destroys the bear-
ings. Cleaning with a high-pressure
cleaner may damage the electrical sys-
tem.
4. When
cleaning
your
FLYER
e-bike, you should never apply acids,
grease, oils, brake cleaners with ex
-
ception to the brake discs), and liq-
uids containing solvents.
These damage the surfaces and contrib-
ute to wear on the FLYER.
After use, ensure that you dispose of the
lubricant, cleaning and care products in
an environmentally friendly way. These
substances do not belong in domestic
waste, in the drain or in natural environ-
ments. Smooth operation and durability
of your FLYER e-bike depend on appro-
priate maintenance and care for your
FLYER.
• Regularly clean your FLYER with
warm water, small amounts of clean-
ing agent and a sponge.
• While cleaning the FLYER, always
check your e-bike for cracks, notches
or material deformities.
• Damaged parts must be changed with
original spare parts. Please only ride
your FLYER again after this check
has been carried out.
• Have possible paint damage removed
by your FLYER specialist retailer.
Further important information concerning care for
your FLYER e-bike is provided on the website of
your respective component manufacturer. This
is especially true for FLYER bikes with a carbon
frame. Damage on a carbon frame is not always
visible. If your bike is involved in a crash or acci-
dent, have the carbon frame inspected by your
FLYER dealer.
