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 secure,
and you have checked for wear on the pads and
braking surfaces . For hydraulic systems: Check
the cables and connections for leaks .
• Check that the tyres have the correct air pres -
sure . Please read the chapter “Tyres and tubes”
(14.2) and the manufacturer’s instructions. 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 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 24. All components
of the FLYER are safety-related and
have a specific service life.
Exceeding this service life can lead to
unexpected failure of the components .
This can lead to falls and serious injury .
As is the case with all mechanical com -
ponents, the vehicle 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
is exceeded .
Any kind of cracks, scratches or colour
changes in high-stress areas are an in-
dicator that the service life of the com -
ponent has been exceeded and that it
should be replaced .
Do not forget to take a high-quality bike
lock with you on the ride so you can park
your FLYER and lock it to an immovable
object . Separately lock the components
that are fastened with quick-release fas-
teners(e .g . the front wheel) as required .
This will prevent theft of these add-on
parts .
12. After a fall
Have the vehicle and all components checked
for changes, damage, firm attachment and cor-
rect function by a FLYER specialist retailer . This
may, in particular, include dents and cracks in the
frame and fork, bent components and parts such
as the handlebars or a shifted or turned seat .
Inspection by a FLYER specialist retailer must
cover the following main points:
• Carefully check the frame and fork . Deforma -
tions can usually be detected when looking at
surfaces from different angles.
• Are the seat, seat post, stem and handlebars
still in their correct positions? If this is not the
case, do NOT move the components back
from their changed position before loosening
the relevant screw connection . It is essential
to adhere to the prescribed fastening torque .
