20. Accessories and
equipment
Installing accessories correctly and checking their
compatibility with the FLYER are the responsibili
-
ty of the cyclist/buyer.
Only accessories listed in the FLYER catalogue
are approved for use with the FLYER by FLYER
AG. Check the accessories’ compatibility with your
FLYERmodelandthetechnicalspecications(e.g.
maximumload,installationinstructions,etc.).
Always install accessories according to
the regulations and instructions.
• Only use
add-on parts that comply with the re
-
spective legal regulations and road
tra󰀩cregulations.
• The use of unauthorised accessories
may lead to accidents, severe falls
and damage. You should therefore
only use original accessories and
add-onpartswhichtyourFLYER.
The warranty and/or guarantee can become void
if unapproved accessories are used.
FLYER AG cannot be held liable in connection
with the use of unauthorised accessories. Please
be aware that tuning the e-bike or manipulating
the speed may have legal consequences.
The installation of accessories might
damage the paint work. The frame, bat
-
tery or components may not be changed
and no holes may be drilled into them in
order to attach accessories.
21. Riding with
additional load
Luggagecarrier/ridingwithluggage
Transporting baggage changes the driving per
-
formance of your FLYER e-bike. Not only is the
braking distance lengthened with more weight,
the steering is also less responsive. You should
therefore adjust your driving style to the braking
and steering behaviour of your FLYER, and al
-
ways anticipate a longer braking distance. Only
transport luggage on the approved luggage racks
and ensure that the maximumpermitted overall
weightaswellasthemaximumloadcapacityof
theluggagerackarenotexceeded.Thesevalues
mayneverbeexceeded.Donotxluggageracks
on the seat post; this can lead to breakages and
to very serious falls. The manufacturer’s warranty
will also be rendered void in this case.
Make sure that your luggage is rmly
and safely attached when transporting
packing bags or other loads.
Ensure that
no parts can get hooked in the spokes or
the turning wheels.
21.1 Transportingchildren/child
seats
As a rule, your FLYER e-bike is designed to trans-
port one person at a time. However, some FLYER
models allow you to carry a child in a tested and
approved child seat, or a tested and approved
child trailer from FLYER (see Chapter 21.2 be
-
low). The use of child seats with any other FLYER
e-bikes is prohibited and such use is not appro
-
ved by the manufacturer.
The safe transport of children is the responsibility
of the cyclist. FLYER AG cannot be held liable in
connection with the transport of children and the
resulting risks.
Your FLYER dealer can provide you with instruc
-
tions on how to use approved child seats with the
FLYER e-bikes approved for this use.
When using an approved child seat with
an approved FLYER e-bike, please ob
-
serve the following instructions and re-
quirements.
Observe any applicable national laws. Do not
exceedthepermittedtotalweight.
Beforeyouseto󰀨,checkthefollowing:
– Child seat must be installed correctly
– Child must be buckled in and wearing a helmet
– Tyre pressure must be checked
– Lightsandreectorsmustnotbeobscured
Donotletchildrenputtheirngersinto
the moving parts of the saddle and seat
post. Doing so may cause injury. Child
-
ren must not be left unsupervised in
child seats when the e-bike is resting on
the bike stand.
Fitting a child seat has an impact on
the handling of the bike and increases
the braking distance. Practice on sturdy
ground and adapt your riding style ac
-
cordingly.
21.2 Bicycletrailers
FLYER recommends that you only use approved
FLYER child trailers with approved FLYER e-bi
-
kes. The safe transport of children is the respon-
sibility of the cyclist. FLYER AG cannot be held
liable in connection with the transport of children
and the resulting risks.
