13. Bicycle gears

The gear shifters regulate the necessary cycling
power and speed. While riding in lower gears, it
becomes easier to ride on inclined planes and it
reduces physical exertion when pedalling. While
riding in higher gears, more physical exertion is
needed to pedal, allowing you to reach higher
speeds with lower pedalling cadence.
Ask for detailed instructions regarding
the operation and the special features of
the e-bike's gear system from your
FLYER specialist retailer, even if you are
an experienced cyclist. Practise on an
even and safe terrain.
If you have any questions about assembling,
maintaining, setting up or operating the gears,
please contact your FLYER specialist retailer.
Read the operating instructions on the website of
the respective manufacturer.
Despite a perfectly set up chain gear
system, a bike chain crossing at an an-
gle can lead to noises during riding.
These noises are normal and do not
cause any damage to the gear compo-
nents.
Do not pedal backwards while changing
gears, as this may damage the gear sys-
tem.
Using faulty, incorrectly set-up or worn
gear components is dangerous and can
lead to falls. If you are concerned, have
components checked and readjusted as
required by a FLYER specialist retailer.
Electronic gears
Especially with electronic gears, oper-
ating them may be unusual. Therefore,
you may want to ask your FLYERretailer
for more information and about this.

Bicycle chain maintenance
Bicycle chains are wearing parts. The degree of
wear varies considerably. Have the chain of your
FLYER regularly checked by your FLYER spe-
cialist retailer.
• Hub gears: approx. 3000 km
• Chain gears: 1500-2000 km
A worn bike chain can break and cause
very serious falls. Worn bicycle chains
must therefore immediately be changed
by your FLYER specialist retailer.
Regularly care for your bicycle chain by cleaning
and greasing it. These measures reduce prema-
ture wear.
To ensure that the chain and gears can
work safely, the chain must have a cer-
tain level of tension. Chain gear systems
tense the chain automatically. In the
case of hub gears, chains which are too
loose must be tightened. It might other-
wise jump off the gears and lead to a fall.
