7. Intended use

The FLYER is intended for transporting
one person only. Carrying a second per-

the respectively applicable national leg-
islation (children in a child seat or trailers
designed for this purpose, see chap.
19.1) or on a tandem.
Carrying luggage is only permitted with appropri-
ate equipment fitted on the FLYER. The maximum
carrying capacity of the luggage rack as well as
the maximum permitted weight of the vehicle
may not be exceeded (see Chapter 24 "Technical
data".
Permitted overall weight:
Driver weight + FLYER weight + battery
weight + luggage weight + trailer weight
E-bikes, city bikes and trekking bikes (C-Serie,
T-Serie, RS-Serie, FLOGO, PLUTO, Tandem)
that are built according to national and legal
standards, can be taken on the public roads and
uneven terrain i.e. dirt roads.
Any liability or warranty provided by the FLYER
retailer or manufacturer will not apply if you abuse
or misuse the product by neglecting the safety in-
formation given to you. The same applies if the
FLYER is overloaded, ridden on unsuitable terrain
or if manufacturing defects are unprofessionally
dealt with. The guidelines for servicing, care and
storage must be observed in order to retain liabil-
ity and warranty.
Your FLYER is not designed to withstand extreme
use, i.e. riding down stairs, performing tricks/
jumps/stunts or racing in official competitions.
FLYER e-bikes are not licensed for use in compe-
titions and contests.
If you have any questions regarding the bike's
limit of use, please don't hesitate to contact your
FLYER retail store or manufacturer.
Before riding on public roads with your FLYER,
inform yourself on the current riding regulations in
your country. Only ride on pathways and trails that
are permitted for vehicles.

8. Before the first ride

Ensure that the e-bike is ready for use and adjust-
ed to fit your body.
This includes:
• Setting the position and fixture of the seat and
handlebars
• Adjusting the brakes
• Securing the wheels into the frame and fork
To ensure that you enjoy a safe and comfortable
riding position, please allow your FLYER special-
ist retailer to set up your handlebars and stem.
Have the saddle set to a safe and comfortable
position (see Chapter 11.2.).
Have the brake handles set by the FLYER spe-
cialist retailer so that you can reach them easily
at all times and can use the brake without getting
tired. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the brake
levers connected to the front and back wheels –
the left brake lever is usually for the front wheel
and the right lever is usually for the back one! De-
spite this general rule, however, you should still
check what wheels the brakes are connected to
since this standard isn't always followed.
Before each ride, and anytime your bike has
been left unattended for a short period of time,
make sure to check if each screw, quick-release
lever, thru axel or other important components
are properly secured where they belong. A table
listing the most important screw connections and
the prescribed fastening torques is provided in
Chapter 24.2, while notes on the correct use of
quick release fasteners and quick release axles
are provided in Chapter 11.1.
When you are driving with clipless/step-in pedals:
Functional testing is required. The pedals should
release easily and smoothly.
Check the tyre pressure. The manufacturer guide-
lines which may not be exceeded or undercut are
printed on the side of the tyres.
30 - 80 PSI (2.5-5.5 BAR)
Example of tyre pressure information
It is also necessary for you to check the following
components of your e-bike:
• Please check that the battery is secure.
• Check the charging state of the battery to en-
sure that the charge is sufficient for the drive
planned.
• Familiarise yourself with the functions of the
operating element.
