19.3 Roof and rear carrier on a car
• Only use rear carriers which satisfy
the applicable national legislation for
transporting your bike by car. The use
of rear carriers may lead to accidents.
• Adjust your driving according to the
weight of your rear carrier.
• In the case that you attach a trailer
to the bike, make sure to regularly
check if it is securely fastened to the
FLYER e-bike. If your FLYER falls out
of the carrier, it can cause serious ac
-
cidents.
• Avoid transporting your FLYER on the
roof of a vehicle and always cover the
motor with a rain protector cover to
prevent it from becoming damaged.
It is recommended to cover the entire
FLYER e-bike with a rain protection
cover.
• Please note that loose parts, such as
tools, luggage and tool bags, child
seats, air pumps etc. could fall off dur
-
ing transport. This may put other peo-
ple on the road at risk. All loose parts
should therefore be removed from the
FLYER before you start riding.
• A roof rack changes the total height of
your vehicle.
• Also make note of the maximal load
capacity for the roof of the vehicle.
The brake lever may not be used when
your bicycle is lying sideways, upside
down or if a wheel has been removed.
Otherwise air bubbles can enter the hy
-
draulic system which could cause the
brakes to fail. After transporting the bicy
-
cle, check if the pressure point of the
brakes seems softer than before. Then
apply the brakes slowly several times.
This allows the braking system to dis
-
charge any bubbles. If the pressure
point remains soft, please refrain from
riding. A FLYER specialist retailer must
discharge the air from the brake system.
You can avoid this problem by applying
the brake lever before transport and
then xing it in this position using a
strap. This prevents any air from enter
-
ing the hydraulic system. Please note
that the brake lever may not be pulled
when the wheel has been removed.
Place a spacer between the brake
blocks if you need to remove the wheel.
The driver is responsible for transport by car in
compliance with the applicable laws and regula
-
tions. Biketec AG cannot be held liable in connec-
tion with the transportation of the FLYER on roof
or rear carriers.
• Do not transport your e-bike upside
down. When securing the bike, en
-
sure that no damage is caused to the
fork or the frame.
• You may not attach your e-bike to
the roof rack or rear carrier by its
crank set. The e-bike must always be
transported standing on its wheels.
Non-compliance may result in dam
-
age to the e-bike.
• When transporting the e-bike by car,
the battery must be removed and
transported separately. Make sure
that the battery contacts are safe from
short circuiting.
Public transport
Obtain information regarding the local regulations
when you intend to transport your e-bike on public
transportation.
Aircraft
