FLYER E-MTBs are not allowed to be ridden car-
rying a child seat.
Bicycle trailers and child trailers
Your FLYER e-MTB is not approved for use with
a trailer.
16.3 Roof and rear carrier on a car
Only use rear carriers which satisfy the
applicable national legislation for trans
-
porting your bike by car. The use of rear
carriers may lead to accidents. Trans
-
porting or xing the bike inappropriately
could cause damage to your car, mount
or E-MTB.
• Adjust your driving according to the
weight of your rear carrier.
• When transporting your bike, you
should check regularly that your
FLYER e-bike is secure and safely
fastened.
• If your FLYER falls out of the carrier,
it can cause serious accidents.
• 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 strongly recommended to cover
the whole bicycle with a rain protec
-
tor 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.
• Pay close attention to the maximal
load capacity if you transport your
bike on the roof of a 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.
• 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 trans
-
ported standing on its wheels. Non-
compliance may result in damage to
the e-bike.
When transporting the e-bike by car, the
battery must be removed and transport
-
ed separately.
• Make sure that the battery’s contacts
are safe from short circuiting.
• The motor and electrical components
must be covered for transporting to
avoid any moisture penetration.
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.
