Flyer Mountain - Before Each Ride

54
If your pedals are produced with a rub-
ber or plastic coating, rst carefully fa-
miliarise yourself with the grip of the
pedals. The pedals may be very slippery
under wet conditions. Use safe terrain
withouttra󰀩ctofamiliariseyourselfwith
step-in or clipless pedals.
Please note that the weight distribution
of the E-Bike is signicantly di󰀨erent
from that of a bicycle without electrical
drive.
The weight of an E-Bike makes parking,
lifting, carrying or pushing uphill more
di󰀩cult.
Take note that your FLYER must be
equipped according to the legal require-
ments if it is to be used in public road
tra󰀩c.
Check with your insurance whether your
vehicle and possible risks of handling lith-
ium/ionbatteriesaresu󰀩cientlycovered.
11. Beforeeachride
Please check your FLYER before each
ride, as even after assembly, briey
leaving the bike in public places or trans-
porting it may cause functions to change
or parts to become loose.
Beforeeveryride,pleasecheckthat:
• The lights are working properly and are safely
secured.
• The bell is working safely and is properly se-
cured.
• The brakes are working properly and are se-
cure, and you have checked for wear on the
pads and braking surfaces. For hydraulic sys-
tems: Check the cables and connections for
leaks.
• Check that the tyres have the correct air pres-
sure. Please read the chapter “Tyres and
tubes” (12.1) and the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. These are printed on the outside wall of
the tyres.
• Check the tyres for damage, wear, brittleness,
foreignobjectsandsu󰀩cientproledepth.
• Check the wheels for true running and dam-
age.
• Check that the wheels are safely and correctly
attached by the quick-release fasteners and
axles.
• Check that the gear shift components are
working and are safely secured.
• Check that all quick-release fasteners,
quick-release axles (even after a brief period
left parked and unattended), screws and nuts
arermlyattached.
• Check the frame and fork for damage, defor-
mation, cracks and dents. Before every ride
please check that suspension elements are
working properly and are safely secured
• Check the chain guard or chain guide to make
sure they are securely in position and functio-
ning properly.
• Check that handlebars, stem, seat post and
seat are secure and correctly positioned.
• Check that the battery is charged.
• Check that the battery is correctly and securely
attached.
If you are not sure that your FLYER is in
perfect technical condition, do not start
your ride. Have your FLYER inspected
andrepairedrstbyaFLYERspecialist
retailer. If you subject your FLYER to in-
tensive use (in sporting or daily use), we
recommend regular inspection and re-
pairs by your FLYER specialist retailer.
Inspection procedures and intervals are
speciedinChapter22.Allcomponents
of the FLYER are safety-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.
As is the case with all mechanical com-
ponents, the vehicle is subject to wear
and tear and high stress. Depending on
the degree of stress imposed on them,
di󰀨erent materials and parts may react
di󰀨erentlyintermsofwearandfatigue.A
part may suddenly fail and cause injuries
to the rider when its intended service life
isexceeded.
Any kind of cracks, scratches or colour
changes in high-stress areas are an in-
dicator that the service life of the com-
ponent has been exceeded and that it
should be replaced.
