1. If you are not sure that your
FLYER e-bike is in perfect techni-
cal condition, do not start your ride.
Have
 your FLYER rst inspected
and repaired by a FLYER specialist
retailer. If you subject your FLYER
to intensive use (in sporting or dai
-
ly use), we recommend regular
inspection and repairs by your FLYER
specialist
retailer. Inspection proce-
dures
 and intervals are specied in
Chapter 19. 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.
2. The vehicle is subject to wear and
high stress as are all other mechan
-
ical components. Depending on the
degree of stress imposed on them,
di󰀨erent
materialsandpartsmayre-
act
 di󰀨erently 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 col
-
our changes in high-stress areas are
an
indicator that the service life of the
component has been exceeded and
that it should be replaced.
1. It is essential to have your FLYER
checked by a FLYER specialist retail
-
er after a fall or when your FLYER has
fallen over! Many components cannot
be safely repaired and components
may be damaged in a way that you
cannot recognise.
2.
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 object. Separately lock
the components that are fastened
with quick release fasteners (e.g. the
front wheel) as required. This will pre
-
vent theft of these add-on parts.
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
system pedals or clipless pedals.
1. Please note that the weight distribu
-
tion
ofthee-bikeisdi󰀨erentfromthat
of a bicycle without electrical drive.
The weight of an e-bike makes park-
ing, lifting, carrying or pushing up-hill
more
di󰀩cult.
2. Take note that your FLYER must be
equipped according to the legal re
-
quirements if it is to be used in public
road
tra󰀩c.
3. Check with your insurance wheth-
er your vehicle and possible risks of
handling
lithium/ion batteries are suf-
ciently
covered.
10. Beforeeachride
