9. 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 secure,
and you have checked for wear on the pads and
braking surfaces. For hydraulic systems: Check
the cables and connections for leaks.
• Check that the tyres have the correct air pres
-
sure. Please read the chapter “Tyres and
tubes” (12.2) 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 sufcient prole depth.
• Check the wheels for true running and damage.
• Check that the wheels are safely and correctly
attached by fastening nuts or quick release
fasteners and axles.
• Check that the gear shift components are
working and are safely secured.
• all quick release fasteners and quick release
axles (even after a brief period left parked and
unattended, or the like), as well as screws and
nuts to ensure they are rmly attached.
• Check the frame and fork for damage, defor
-
mation, cracks and dents.
• Check that suspension elements are working
properly and are safely secured.
• Check that handlebars, stem, seat post and
seat are secure and correctly positioned.
• Battery charge.
• Check that the battery is correctly and securely
attached.
If you are not sure that your FLYER e is
in perfect technical condition, do not
start your ride. Have your FLYER rst
inspected and repaired by a FLYER spe
-
cialist retailer. If you subject your FLYER
to intensive use (in sporting or daily
use), we recommend regular inspection
and repairs by your FLYER specialist re
-
tailer. Inspection procedures and inter-
vals 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.
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, different mate
-
rials and parts may react differently 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 ob
-
ject. Separately lock the components that
are fastened with quick release fasteners
(e.g. the front wheel) as required. This will
prevent theft of these add-on parts.
The battery on your FLYER is secured
by the ABUS Plus system, a particularly
safe and durable locking system, pre
-
venting it from being removed without
permission.
