FLYER dealer will record the brake lever settings
in the ser vice booklet.
Despite this general rule, however, you should
still check what wheels the brakes are connected
to since this standard isn’t always followed.
Before each ride, and anytime your bike has been
left unattended for a short period of time, make sure
to check if each screw, uick-release le er, thru axel
or other important components are properly secured
where they belong. A table listing the most important
screw connections and the prescribed fastening tor-
ques is provided in the “Technical Data”, while notes
on the correct use of quick release fasteners and
uick release axles are pro ided in Chapter 12.1.
When you are driving with clipless/step-in pedals:
Functional testing is required. The pedals should
release easily and smoothly.
Check the tyre pressure. The manufacturer guide-
lines which may not be exceeded or undercut are
printed on the side of the tyres. Do not exceed
either the stipulated maximum pressure or drop
below the stipulated minimum pressure. General
comments: Lower air pressure gives greater trac-
tion and comfort, while higher air pressure reduc-
es resistance and extends range.
It is also necessary for you to check the following
components of your FLYER e-bike:
• Please check that the battery is secure.
• Check the charging state of the battery to en-
sure that the charge is su cient for the dri e
planned.
• Familiarise yourself with the functions of the
operating element.

performance by testing its features out in

1. Only use a FLYER with a frame size that
suits you. Ensure that your legs have
enough room to manoeuvre. You
must be able to dismount quickly with-
out touching the frame. nsu cient
clearance or room to manoeuvre may
lead to severe injuries.
2. Please note that while preparing to
mount your FLYER that it will imme-
diately start moving as soon as you
put your foot onto the pedal when the
Example of tyre pressure information
Carbon frames are not ductile. If a car-
bon frame is overloaded, it does not de-
form – it breaks. If you discover a crack,
or if you hear unusual creaking or
squeaking noises while riding, have the
carbon frame inspected by a FLYER
dealer.
• If your FLYER carbon frame is over-
loaded or involved in a crash, have it
checked by your FLYER dealer even
if there is no visible damage.
• Where carbon parts are used, the
tor ue alue must not be exceeded
in any way. Use carbon paste to help
reduce the torque while ensuring a
secure connection. Never use con-
ventional grease to lubricate carbon
parts.
• Carbon becomes brittle upon di-
rect exposure to heat radiation e.g.
heaters). This may cause the carbon
frame to break, which can result in ac-
cident and injury.
• FLYER bikes with a carbon frame
must never be mounted on a car bike
rack using standard frame clips, as
these will damage the frame.
• The clip on the seat tube opening
must not be closed when the seat
post is removed from a FLYER with a
carbon frame.

Before the first ride
Ensure that the e-bike is ready for use
and ad usted to fit your body.
This includes:
•
Setting the position and fixture of the seat and
handlebars
• Adjusting the brakes
• Securing the wheels into the frame and fork
• Any parts that are not supplied already assem-
bled should be fitted by a FLYER specialist
retailer.
To ensure that you enjoy a safe and comfortable
riding position, please allow your FLYER special-
ist retailer to set up your handlebars and stem.
Have the saddle set to a safe and comfortable
position (see Chapter 12.2.).
Have the brake handles set by the FLYER spe-
cialist retailer so that you can reach them easily
at all times and can use the brake without getting
tired. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the brake
levers connected to the front and back wheels –
the left brake lever is usually for the front wheel
and the right lever is usually for the back one!
However, on fast crossover bikes in the EU, this
is the other way round for legal reasons. Your
