10. Afterafall
Have the vehicle and all components checked
for changes, damage, rm 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.
You can nd relevant values and information
in your FLYER handbook and in the chapter
“Operatingquick-releasefastenersandaxles”
(Chapter11.1).
• Check whether both wheels are correctly and
rmlyattachedtotheframeandfork,thatboth
thefrontandrearwheelsrotatefreely.Experts
can see from the distance between the frame
or fork and the wheel whether the wheel turns
withoutsnagging.
• Checkthatbothbrakesareoperatingfully.
• Do not set off again without having checked
that the chain is sitting securely on both the
frontchainwheelandrearsprockets.Itmust
beengagedfullywiththecogs.Ifyousetoff
andthechainjumpsoffacogyoumayfall,at
theriskofverysevereinjury.
• CheckwhetherthedisplayoftheFLYERe-bike
shows a fault message or a warning. Do not
driveyourFLYERwhenawarningisdisplayed.

There is a risk that humidity or water
may penetrate the motor if the housing
ofyourbatteryiscracked.Thismaylead

11. Adjustingthe
biketotherider
Installing pedals
Always have your pedals installed or changed by
yourFLYERspecialistretailer,andfeelfreetoask
foradviceoncorrecthandling.
Pedalsmustbeinstalledwithasuitablespanner.
Please note that the two pedals are screwed on in
different directions and must be fastened with high
torque(seeyourFLYERhandbook).Applyassem
-
bly
greasetoboththreads.
Please take note that the right pedal is different from
theleft.Youcanrecognisewhichpedalbelongson
which side from the screws which turn in opposite
directions.Usually,an“R”isembossedontheright
pedalandan“L”ontheleft.Screwtherightpedal
clockwiseandtheleftpedalanti-clockwiseintothe
cranks.
The pedals must be fastened with a suit-
able
 spanner.Observe the correct fas-
tening
torquewhenattachingthepedals.
Ensurethatthepedalsarettedstraight.
Ifthey arettedatanangle,thereisa
danger that they will break and cause a
fall.
For safety reasons, we strongly advise
notusingpedalswithclipsorstraps.
Ensure that you have read the manufac-
turer‘s instructions before using clipless
or
step-inpedals.Practiseclippingyour
shoesinandout of the pedals’locking
systembeforeyour rstrideinaquiet,
safeplace.Cliplesspedalswhichdonot
properlyreleaseareasafetyhazard.
Thereleaseforceofstep-inpedalscan
beadjusted.Pleasetestthisonyourrst
ride with a setting that releases easily.
Regularly clean the step-in pedals and
servicethemwithasuitablelubricant.
Thepedalsurfacesmaybeveryrough.
This improves the grip on the pedal.
Leathersolesmaybedamagedbythe
roughsurface.
