Never drive without a battery or with
your system switched off, as the func
-
tions of the operating unit and the light-
ing functions are not available in this
case.
Always remove the battery before clean-
ing, maintaining or repairing your e-bike.
Ensure that you do not touch and thus
possibly connect contacts when clean
-
ing or maintaining the battery. You risk
being hurt and the battery may suffer
damage if the contacts are live.
Do not use a high pressure water stream
or a high pressure cleaner on your bike.
The cleaning liquid may enter sealed
bearings due to high pressure, dilute
the lubricant and increase friction. As a
result, rust is formed which destroys the
bearings. Cleaning with a high-pressure
cleaner may damage the electrical sys
-
tem.
You should avoid doing the following
when cleaning your FLYER e-bike:
• Acids
• Fats
• Oil
• Brake cleaner (only to use on brake
discs)
• Solvent-based liquids.
These damage the surfaces and contrib
-
ute to wear on the FLYER.
After use, ensure that you dispose of the
lubricant, cleaning and care products in
an environmentally friendly way. These
substances do not belong in domestic
waste, in the drain or in natural environ
-
ments.
Smooth operation and durability of your
FLYER e-bike depend on appropriate
maintenance and care for your FLYER.
• Regularly clean your FLYER with
warm water, small amounts of clean
-
ing agent and a sponge.
• While cleaning the FLYER, always
check your e-bike for cracks, notches
or material deformities.
• Damaged parts must be changed with
original spare parts. Please only ride
your FLYER again after this check
has been carried out.
• Have possible paint damage removed
by your FLYER specialist retailer.
Further important information concerning care for
your FLYER e-bike is provided on the website of
your respective component manufacturer.
21. Electrical motor
All information, data and instructions concerning
the electrical system of your FLYER e-bike are
included in the attached operating instructions
for the electrical support system installed in your
FLYER. They include details of the operation and
maintenance, all important safety instructions and
information concerning the following components:
• Operating element and display
• Battery and possible ranges
• Charger
• Drive unit
• Speed sensor and spoke magnet
Some general facts concerning the function and
range of your FLYER's motor are listed below:
Function:
The motor starts working as soon as you start
pedalling when one of the support modes has
been selected.
The performance of the motor depends on sev
-
eral factors:
• The force used while pedalling
The support is more gentle when you pedal
with low force than when you pedal with higher
force, e.g. while driving uphill. However, this in
-
creases the power consumption and decreas-
es the range.
• Support mode
The higher the level of support, the more pow
-
er the motor will provide. However, high motor
performance means high power consumption.
The lowest support mode provides the least
support but also the longest range.
Range
Specied range information has been obtained
under optimal conditions. Ranges achieved un
-
der everyday conditions will usually be shorter.
Please consider this when planning your route.
The range depends on many factors. These in
-
clude battery capacity, motor support level select-
ed, geographical conditions, road surface, driving
style, environmental temperature, the weight of
the driver, tyre pressure and the technical state of
your FLYER e-bike.
Driving without drive support
You can also drive your FLYER without drive sup
-
port by selecting the “No assist” support mode.
Ensure that your system is always switched on.
