Flyer C SERIE Originalbetriebsanleitung Seite 144

Familiarize 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 clear-
ance or room to manoeuvre may lead to
severe injuries.
Please note that while preparing to
mount your FLYER that it will immediate-
ly 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
otherwise lead to falls or other acci-
dents. 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. Always re-
member to fold in the prop stand before
riding off.
Modern brakes have a substantially
higher braking performance than con-
ventional brakes. Carefully practise us-
ing your brakes.
Note that when riding in wet conditions
and on slippery roads, your bike's brak-
ing power, particularly the rim brakes,
can be severely weakened. Expect a
longer braking distance if you are rid-
ing in wet conditions. Look ahead while
riding and familiarise yourself with the
brakes' response time.
If your pedals are produced with a rub-
ber or plastic coating, first carefully fa-
miliarise yourself with the grip of the
pedals. The pedals may be very slippery
under wet conditions. Use safe terrain
without traffic to familiarise yourself with
system pedals or clipless pedals.
Please note that the weight distribution
of the e-bike is significantly different
from that of a bicycle without electrical
drive. The weight of an e-bike makes
parking, lifting, carrying or pushing up-
hill more difficult.
Take note that your FLYER must be
equipped according to the legal require-
ments if it is to be used in public road
traffic.
Check with your insurance whether your
vehicle and possible risks of handling lith-
ium/ion batteries are sufficiently covered.
