• Do not transport your e-bike upside
down. When securing the bike, ensure
that no damage is caused to the fork or
the frame.
• You may not attach your e-bike to the
roof rack or rear carrier by its crank
set. The e-bike must always be trans
-
ported standing on its wheels. Non-
compliance may result in damage to
the e-bike.
• When transporting the e-bike by car,
the battery must be removed and
transported separately. Make sure
that the battery contacts are safe from
short circuiting.
Public transport
Obtain information regarding the local regulations
when you intend to transport your e-bike on public
transportation.
Aircraft
Obtain information regarding the legal guidelines
if you intend to transport your FLYER by aircraft.
Ask your airline.
20. Electrical motor
All information, data and instructions concerning
the electrical system of your FLYER e-bike are
included in the attached operating instructions
for the electrical support system installed in your
FLYER. They include details of the operation and
maintenance, all important safety instructions and
information concerning the following components:
• Operating element and display
• Battery and possible ranges
• Charger
• Drive unit
• Speed sensor and spoke magnet
Some general facts concerning the function and
range of your FLYER's motor are listed below:
Function:
The motor starts working as soon as you start ped
-
alling when one of the support modes has been
selected.
The performance of the motor depends on several
factors:
• The force used while pedalling
The support is more gentle when you pedal
with low force than when you pedal with higher
force, e.g. while driving uphill. However, this in
-
creases the power consumption and decreases
the range.
• Support mode
The higher the level of support, the more power
the motor will provide. However, high motor per
-
formance means high power consumption. The
lowest support mode provides the least support
but also the longest range.
Range
Specied range information has been obtained
under optimal conditions. Ranges achieved under
everyday conditions will usually be shorter. Please
consider this when planning your route.
The range depends on many factors. These in
-
clude battery capacity, motor support level select-
ed, geographical conditions, road surface, driving
style, environmental temperature, the weight of the
driver, tyre pressure and the technical state of your
FLYER e-bike.
Driving without drive support
You can also drive your FLYER without drive sup
-
port by selecting the “OFF” support mode. Ensure
that your system is always switched on.
Never drive without a battery or with your
system switched off, as the functions of
the operating unit and the lighting func
-
tions are not available in this case.
Always remove the battery before clean-
ing, maintaining or repairing your e-bike.
Ensure that you do not touch and thus
possibly connect contacts when cleaning
or maintaining the battery. You risk being
hurt and the battery may suffer damage if
the contacts are live.
Do not use a high pressure water stream
or a high pressure cleaner on your bike.
The cleaning liquid may enter sealed
bearings due to high pressure, dilute
the lubricant and increase friction. As a
result, rust is formed which destroys the
bearings. Cleaning with a high-pressure
cleaner may damage the electrical sys
-
tem.
You should avoid doing the following
when cleaning your FLYER e-bike:
• Acids
• Fats
• Oil
• Brake cleaner (except use on brake
discs)
• Solvent-based liquids.
These damage the surfaces and contrib
-
ute to wear on the FLYER.
