Tubeless tyres must only be tted and
removed from the rim without tools, as
usingthemcouldcauseleaks.
Ifthesealantisnotsufcienttopreventa
defect, a normal tube can be used once
thevalvehasbeenremoved.
12.2 Dealingwithaattyre
Correct and safe repair of a at tyre requires
specialised e-bike knowledge and special tools.

Repairing a tyre puncture involves hav-
ing
 to adjust safety-relevant compo-
nents.
Incorrectmountingofthewheels
and brakes can lead to severe falls and
injuries. We strongly advise you not to
repair a tyre puncture alone. Ask your
FLYER specialist retailer to x the tyre
punctureforyou.
Get thorough instructions from your
FLYER specialist dealer and practise
changing the wheels and tyres under
their supervision if you plan to repair
yourownattyres.Thesystemmustbe
switched off and the battery must be re
-
moved
beforechangingatyreorwheel.
Youneedthefollowingequipmenttorepairatyre
puncture:
• Plastic tyre lever
• Patches
• Rubber cement
• Sandpaper
• Open-endedspannerorwrench
(for
wheelswithoutquick-releasefasteners)
• Airpump
• Spare tube
I
f your bike is equipped with hydraulic rim
brakes, proceed to remove the brakes as follows:
• Ifyouhavequickreleasesforthebrakes,you
can remove a brake unit according to the man
-
ufacturer’s
instructions(seealsopage40).
• Ifyoudonothave abrakequick-releasefas-
tener,
deatealloftheairoutofthetyre.
IfyourFLYERisequippedwithadiscbrake, you
canremovethewheelwithoutfurtherpreparation.
Pleasenote:whenttingthewheel,thediscmust
be slotted between the brake linings of the brake
calliperandultimatelybecentredwithoutcontact.
Inthecaseofbackpedalbrakes, the screws on
thebrakearmofthechainstayhavetobeopened.
