FLYER e-bike depend on appropriate
maintenance and care for your FLYER.
• Regularly clean your FLYER with
warm water, small amounts of clean
-
ing agent and a sponge.
• While cleaning the FLYER, always
check your e-bike for cracks, notches
or material deformities.
• Damaged parts must be changed with
original spare parts. Please only ride
your FLYER again after this check has
been carried out.
• Have possible paint damage removed
by your FLYER specialist retailer.
Further important information concerning care for
your FLYER e-bike is provided on the website of
your respective component manufacturer.
21. Wearing parts
Your FLYER is a technical product and therefore
requires regular inspection.
Many parts of your FLYER are subject to very
rapid wear, depending on their function and the
extent of usage.
This includes:
• Tyres
• Rims in connection with rim brakes
• Brake pads
• Brake discs
• Bicycle chain or drive belt
• Chain wheels, sprockets, jockey wheels
• Lighting system
• Handlebar grips
• Lubricants
• Gear and brake cables
• Bearings
• Suspension elements
Have your FLYER regularly inspected in
a FLYER specialised workshop and have
wearing parts changed as required. Reg
-
ular visual inspection for cracks, scratch-
es and damage to components is the re-
sponsibility of the driver.
The bicycle 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.
