Roof And Rear Carrier On A Car - Flyer FIT E-Bike System Originalbetriebsanleitung

Please inform yourself of the applicable
national guidelines before you use a
trailer, especially when transporting chil-
dren . Only use trailers that satisfy the
requirements of the applicable national
legal guidelines .
The use of a trailer may lead to severe
falls and injuries .
It is not permitted to use a fast e-bike to
transport children in a child trailer in Ger-
many .
Ensure additional safety when riding
with a child trailer . Use clearly visible,
colourful flags and additional lighting
elements .
Only use tested and licensed trailers and
safety equipment .
• The handling of the FLYER e-bike is
negatively influenced by using a trail-
er . You should therefore adjust your
driving style accordingly . Otherwise
there is a danger that the trailer could
flip over or come off, which could lead
to very serious falls and accidents .
• Bike trailers will significantly extend
the overall length of your FLYER .
Practise setting off, braking, riding
around corners and on hills in a safe
place with an empty trailer .
• The maximum permitted overall
weight of the vehicle also includes
the weight of the trailer and any other
load .
• You may require a substantially
longer braking distance to stop when
riding with a trailer . Take care so as to
avoid accidents .
• Ask your FLYER specialist retailer
about the maximum permitted weight
of the trailer you may tow with your
FLYER .
• Ask your FLYER specialist retailer
about the correct selection and instal-
lation of the trailer coupling .
21.3 Roof and rear carrier on a car
• Only use rear carriers which satisfy
the applicable national legislation for
transporting your bike by car . The use
of rear carriers may lead to accidents .
• 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 .
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 .

• 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 hy-
draulic 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 .
• Do not transport your e-bike upside
down . When securing the bike, en-
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 .
