Before each ride
Please check your FLYER before each
ride, as e en 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 securely
attached
• 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 note the specifications in Chapter
“Tyres and tubes” (12.2). These are also print-
ed on the outside wall of the tyres.
• Check for any damage on the tyres, including
wear, foreign objects and brittle appearance. Also
be sure the tyres have enough tread on them.
• Check that the wheels are safely and correct-
ly attached by fastening nuts or quick release
fasteners.
• Check that the gear shift components are
working and are safely secured.
• All quick release fasteners and quick release
axles e en after a brief period left parked and
unattended), as well as screws and nuts to en-
sure they are firmly attached.
• Check the frame and fork for damage, defor-
mation, cracks and dents.
• The chain guide (chain guard) is working and is
securely attached
• Check that suspension elements are working
properly and are safely secured.
• Check that handlebars, stem, seat post and
seat are secure and correctly positioned.
• Battery charge.
• Check that the battery is correctly and securely
attached.
1. If you are not sure that your
FLYER e-bike is in perfect techni-
cal condition, do not start your ride.
Ha e your FLYER first inspected
and repaired by a FLYER specialist
retailer. If you subject your FLYER
to intensive use (in sporting or dai-
ly use), we recommend regular
inspection and repairs by your FLYER
specialist retailer. Inspection proce-
dures and inter als are specified in
support mode is switched on. Do not
place your foot on the pedal when
mounting. Hold the brake, as the
unfamiliar thrust may otherwise lead
to falls or other accidents. Stand to
one side of the FLYER and lift your
leg over the e-bike. Firmly hold the
handle bars with both hands, as you
would do with a bicycle.
3. Modern brakes have a substantial-
ly higher braking performance than
conventional brakes. Carefully prac-
tise using your brakes. Note that in
wet conditions and on slippery roads,
your bike’s braking power, especially
when using rim brakes, is severely
reduced. Expect a longer braking
distance if you are riding in wet con-
ditions. Look ahead while riding and
familiarise yourself with the brakes’
response time.
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 tra c to familiarise yourself with
system pedals or clipless pedals.
1. Please note that the weight distribu-
tion of the e-bike is different from that
of a bicycle without electrical drive.
The weight of an e-bike makes park-
ing, lifting, carrying or pushing up-hill
more di cult.
2. Take note that your FLYER must be
equipped according to the legal re-
quirements if it is to be used in public
road tra c.
