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 .
Brake discs can become very hot . Do
not touch the brakes immediately after
braking (risk of burns to skin) .
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.
Check with your insurance whether your
vehicle and possible risks of handling lith-
ium/ion batteries are sufficiently covered.
11. Before each ride
Please check your FLYER before each
ride, as even after assembly, briefly
leaving the bike in public places or trans-
porting it may cause functions to change
or parts to become loose .
Before every ride, please check that:
• The lights are working properly and are safely
secured .
• The bell is working safely and is properly se-
cured .
• The brakes are working properly and are se-
cure, and you have checked for wear on the
pads and braking surfaces . For hydraulic sys-
tems: Check the cables and connections for
leaks .
• Check that the tyres have the correct air pres-
sure . Please read the chapter “Tyres and
tubes” (12 .1) and the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions . These are printed on the outside wall of
the tyres .
• Check the tyres for damage, wear, brittleness,
foreign objects and sufficient profile depth.
• Check the wheels for true running and dam-
age .
• Check that the wheels are safely and correctly
attached by the quick-release fasteners and
axles.
• Check that the gear shift components are
working and are safely secured .
• Check that all quick-release fasteners,
quick-release axles (even after a brief period
left parked and unattended), screws and nuts
are firmly attached.
• Check the frame and fork for damage, defor-
mation, cracks and dents . Before every ride
please check that suspension elements are
working properly and are safely secured
• Check the chain guard or chain guide to make
sure they are securely in position and functio-
ning properly .
• Check that handlebars, stem, seat post and
seat are secure and correctly positioned .
• Check that the battery is charged .
• Check that the battery is correctly and securely
attached .
If you are not sure that your FLYER is in
perfect technical condition, do not start
your ride . Have your FLYER inspected
and repaired first by a FLYER specialist
retailer . If you subject your FLYER to in-
tensive use (in sporting or daily use), we
recommend regular inspection and re-
pairs by your FLYER specialist retailer .
Inspection procedures and intervals are
specified in Chapter 22. All components
