Before The First Ride - Flyer FIT E-Bike System Originalbetriebsanleitung

Wear protectors and a helmet for your
safety .
Keep body parts and clothing away from
chain rings, the moving chain and rotat-
ing pedals, cranks and gears .
Wear light-coloured, clearly visible cloth-
ing that is sufficiently close-fitting so as
not to get caught on moving parts of the
bike or on objects on the road or trail .
10. Before the first ride
Ensure that the E-Bike is ready for use and ad-
justed 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
Any parts that are not supplied already assem-
bled should be fitted by a FLYER specialist re-
tailer .
Have the saddle set to a safe and comfortable
position (see Chapter 13 .2) .
Have the brake handles set by the FLYER special-
ist retailer so that you can reach them easily at all
times and can use the brake without getting tired .
Be sure to familiarise yourself with the brake le-
vers 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! Howev-
er, before the first ride you should always check
how the brake handles are connected on your
FLYER as it may be different.
However, on fast FLYER e-bikes in the EU, this
is the other way round for legal reasons . The left
brake lever is for the back wheel and the right bra-
ke lever is for the front wheel . Your FLYER dealer
will record the brake lever settings in the service
booklet .
However, before the first ride you should always
check how the brake handles are connected on
your FLYER as it may be different.
Before each ride, and any time your bike has
been left unattended for a short period of time,
make sure to check if each screw, quick-release
fasteners, thru-axles or other important compo-
nents are properly secured where they belong . A
table listing the most important screw connections
and the prescribed fastening torques is provided
in the separate "Technical Data" operating in-
structions document . The most important screw
connections and the prescribed fastening torques
is provided in the "technical data" for your FLYER,
while notes on the correct use of quick-release
fasteners and quick-release axles are provided in
Chapter 13 .1 .
When you are riding 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 .
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 .
Familiarise yourself with your new
FLYER E-Bike's riding and handling per-
formance by testing its features out in a
safe and quiet area .
Only use a FLYER with a frame size that
suits you .
Ensure that your legs have enough room
to manoeuvre .
You must be able to dismount quickly
without touching the frame .
Insufficient clearance or room to ma-
noeuvre may lead to severe injuries .
Please note that while preparing to mount
your FLYER that it will immediately start
moving as soon as you put your foot onto
the pedal when the support mode is
switched on . Do not place your foot on
the pedal when mounting . Hold the
brake, as the unfamiliar thrust may other-
wise lead to falls or other accidents .
Stand to one side of the FLYER and lift
your leg over the E-Bike . Firmly hold the
handle bars with both hands, as you
would do with a bicycle .
