are sometimes operated like a bicycle and other
times not . Please make sure you are fully aware

Before riding on public roads with your FLYER,
inform yourself on the current legal requirements
enforced in your country .
This information can be found at your FLYER re -
tail store, the respective national bike or e-bike
associations and online .
Here you can gather information on how your
FLYER must be equipped in order to ride it on
public roads .
The lighting system that must be installed or car -
ried with you is also described . You will also be
informed on which brakes the bike needs to be
equipped with .
Consult the applicable national regulations for
information on the current age limits for riding
the bike and where it is allowed to be or must be
ridden . The regulations for children riding on pub -
lic roads can also be found here . It will be made
clear if a helmet is required to be worn by law .

rious injury . The warranty and guarantee will also
