17. Riding with
additional load
Luggage carrier/riding with luggage
Transporting baggage changes the riding 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 riding 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. Never attach a luggage
rack to the seat post, as the latter is not designed
for this purpose. This could result in part failure
and serious falls. The manufacturer’s warranty
will also expire 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.
18. Mudguard
The mudguard is tted with a safety fastening in
case an object jams between the mudguard and
the tyre. This releases the mudguard from its
holder to prevent a fall.
You must stop riding immediately if a foreign body
is trapped between the tyre and the mudguard.
Remove the foreign object before beginning to
riding again. Otherwise, there is a risk of a fall and
serious injuries.
You may under no circumstances drive
with a loose mudguard strut, as the strut
may jam in the wheel and block it. The
loose ends of the holders may lead to
serious accidents.
Damaged mudguards must be replaced by a
FLYER specialist retailer before riding again. You
should also regularly check whether the braces
are xed securely in the safety releases.
19. Accessories and
equipment
Appropriate installation of accessories and check-
ing their compatibility with the FLYER are the re-
sponsibility of the cyclist/buyer. Only accessories
listed in the FLYER catalogue are approved for use
with the FLYER by Biketec AG. Check the relevant
accessories for compatibility with your FLYER
model and consider their 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 respective legal regulations
and road traf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.
If inappropriate accessories are used,
the warranty and/or guarantee may be
-
come void.
Biketec AG cannot be held liable in con
-
nection with the use of unauthorised ac-
cessories.
The installation of accessories might
damage the paint work.
The frame, battery or components may
not be changed and no holes may be
drilled into them in order to attach acces
-
sories.
19.1 Transporting children/child
seats
The use of child seats is not permitted and is not
approved by the manufacturer. The safe trans
-
port of children is the responsibility of the cyclist.
Biketec AG cannot be held liable in connection
with the transport of children and the resulting
risks.
