• Adjust your driving according to the
weight of your rear carrier .
• When
transporting
e-bike, check it at regular intervals to
make sure it is securely fastened . If
your FLYER falls out of the carrier, it
can cause serious accidents .
• Avoid transporting your FLYER on the
roof of a vehicle and always cover the
motor with a rain protection cover to
prevent it from becoming damaged .
It is recommended to cover the entire
FLYER e-bike with a rain protection
cover .
• Please note that loose parts, such
as tools, luggage and tool bags,
air pumps etc. could fall off during
transport . This may put other people
on the road at risk . All loose parts
should therefore be removed from the
FLYER before you set off.
• A roof rack changes the total height of
your vehicle .
• Also make note of the maximal load
capacity for the roof of the vehicle .
The brake lever may not be pulled when
your bike is lying down or upside-down,
or if a wheel has been removed .
Otherwise, air bubbles can form in the
hydraulic system, which can lead to
brake failure . Each time you transport
your bike, check afterwards whether
the trigger point of the brake feels softer
than before . Then slowly apply the brake
once . This removes air from the brake
system .
If the trigger point remains soft, do not
use your bike . Your FLYER specialist re-
tailer must vent the brake .
You can avoid this problem by applying
the brake lever before transport and
then fixing it in this position using a
strap . This prevents any air from enter-
ing the hydraulic system . Please note
that the brake lever may not be pulled
when the wheel has been removed .
Place a spacer between the brake
blocks if you need to remove the wheel .
The rider is responsible for transport by car in
compliance with the applicable laws and regula-
tions . FLYER AG cannot be held liable in connec-
tion with the transportation of the FLYER on roof
or rear carriers .
• Do not transport your e-bike upside
down . When securing the bike, en-
your
FLYER
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 .
22. 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
• 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

sure 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
transported standing on its wheels .
Non-compliance may result in dam-
age 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 .
Have your FLYER regularly inspected in
a FLYER specialised workshop and
have wearing parts replaced as re-
quired . Regular visual inspection for
cracks, scratches and damage to com-
ponents is the responsibility of the rider .
As is the case with all mechanical com-
ponents, the bicycle is subject to wear
and tear and high stress . Depending on
the degree of stress imposed on them,
different materials and parts may react
differently in terms of wear and fatigue. A
part may suddenly fail and cause injuries
to the rider when its intended service life
is exceeded .
