All components of the FLYER are safe-
ty-related
 and have a specic service
life.Exceedingthisservicelifecanlead
tounexpectedfailureofthecomponents.
This can lead to falls and serious injury.
The vehicle is subject to wear and high
stress as are all other mechanical com-
ponents. Depending on the degree of
stress
imposedonthem,di󰀨erentmate-
rials
 and parts may react di󰀨erently in
terms of wear and fatigue. A part may
suddenly fail and cause injuries to the
driver when its designed service life is
exceeded.Anykindofcracks,scratches
or colour changes in high-stress areas
are an indicator that the service life of
thecomponenthasbeenexceededand
that it should be replaced.
It is essential to have your FLYER
checked by a FLYER specialist retailer
after a fall or when your FLYER has fall-
en over.
Many components cannot be safely re-
paired and components may be dam-
aged in a way that you cannot recognise.
Do not forget to take a high-quality bike
lock with you on the ride so you can park
and lock your FLYER to an immovable
object. Separately lock the components
that are fastened with quick release fas
-
teners (e.g. the front wheel) as required.
This will prevent theft of these add-on
parts.
11. 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. In
-
spection by a FLYER specialist retailer must cov-
er the following main points:
•
Carefully check the frame and fork. Deforma-
tions can usually be detected when looking at
the
surfacefromdi󰀨erentangles.
• Are the seat, seat post, stem and handlebars
still in their correct positions? When 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
Check with your insurance whether your
vehicle and possible risks of handling
lithium/ionbatteriesaresu󰀩cientlycov-
ered.
10. Beforeeachride
