17. 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 compo
-
nents:
• 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 de
-
pends on several factors:
• The power applied when pedalling
If you pedal with less power, you are provided
with less support than when you your increase
your pedalling power, i.e. when riding uphill.
However, this increases the power consumption
and decreases the range.
• Support mode
The higher the level of support, the more power
the motor will provide. However, high motor per
-
formance 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 "OFF" support mode. Ensure
that your system is always switched on.
Never drive without a battery or with your
system switched off, as the functions of
the operating unit and the lighting func
-
tions are not available in this case.
1. Always remove the battery before
cleaning, maintaining or repairing
your e-bike. Ensure that you do not
touch and thus possibly connect
contacts when cleaning or maintain
-
ing 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 system.
2. When cleaning your FLYER
e-bike, you should never apply acids,
grease, oils, brake cleaners (with ex
-
ception to the brake discs), and liq-
uids containing solvents.
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 ap
-
propriate 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.
