Check periodically the brake pads and
let your retailer replace them when they
are too worn.
You can find further information in the
manufacturer's manual or online under
www.magura.com
Let a retailer check your e-bike if the
brakes aren't functioning properly. If the
rubber brake pads are too worn to be
readjusted, do not use your e-bike any-
more. Let your retailer to replace them
with new brake pads before riding again.
Disc brake
Disc brakes must be installed and ser-
viced by a FLYER specialist retailer. In-
correctly set up brakes can cause acci-
dents and serious injuries.
A brake test is required before each drive and
particularly after each brake adjustment. Braking
behaviour may vary, in particular after exchanging
the brake pads. Disc brakes require a bedding-in
time to wear in the discs and pads. The braking
system only delivers its full performance after
around 10 braking cycles from 30 km/h. The brak-
ing force increases during this time. Consider this
during the entire duration of the wearing-in period.
This wearing-in period is also required after re-
placing the brake pads or discs.
Pay attention to any unusual noise when braking,
as this could be a sign that the brake pads have
worn down to the wear limit. Check the thickness
of the brake pads once the brakes have cooled
down. If necessary, have the brake pads re-
placed.
Please do not touch the brake disc while
it is rotating. You can suffer serious inju-
ries if your finger is caught in the gaps of
a rotating disc brake.
The brake calliper and disc may get hot
during braking. You could suffer burns if
you touch this part during or directly after
braking.

Have the brake disc replaced if it is worn out or
bent. This replacement procedure must be car-
ried out by a FLYER specialist retailer.
Hydraulic brakes
It is possible that brake fluid may escape from
the system due to leaky cables and connections.
This can negatively impact the effectiveness of
the brakes. Check the pipes and connections for
tightness before each ride.
Do not ride with your FLYER if fluid is leaking from
the braking system. Allow a FLYER specialist re-
tailer to undertake repair work on this part imme-
diately. The danger of your brakes failing in this
condition is very high.
Ask for detailed instructions regarding the oper-
ation and special features of the e-bike braking
system from your FLYER specialist retailer, even
if you are an experienced cyclist. Practise in a qui-
et, safe area with no traffic.
If you have any questions about assembling, set-
ting up, servicing or operating this part of your
bike, please contact a FLYER specialist retailer.

Formation of air bubbles in the disk
brakes
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 entering the
hydraulic system. Please note that the
brake lever may not be pulled when the
wheel has been removed. Place a spac-
er between the brake blocks if you need
to remove the wheel.
A trigger point should be clearly noticea-
ble after approximately a third of the way
when pulling the brake lever. Do not start
to ride if the brake lever can be pulled up
to the handlebars. In this case, the
FLYER is not safe for operation. It is
then essential to visit your FLYER spe-
cialist retailer and have the brake adjust-
ed or repaired.
Brake discs and brake pads are particu-
larly subject to wear. Have these safe-
ty-related components regularly checked
for wear and changed as required by
your FLYER specialist retailer.
