1. Foreword
Dear FLYER customer
Thank you for choosing a FLYER. Enjoy your
journey of discovery on your FLYER and have
a safe ride.
Thank you for your trust in our product.
Your FLYER Team
2. Denitionofterms
These original operating instructions contain the
most important information required to familiarise
yourself with your new FLYER, to get to know its
technology, to attend to safety aspects and pre-
vent damage to persons, goods and the environ-
ment. You should therefore keep this manual in a
safe place, always have it to hand and observe the
pointers provided in this manual which have proven
to be helpful when using this FLYER. Please pro-
vide these instructions with the FLYER when you
lend your FLYER to other persons. You are strongly
advised to carefully read the attached instructions
manual to the electric drive system before you use
yourbikeforthersttime.Thefollowingsymbolsare
repeatedly shown on the pages below:
DANGER: There is a risk of personal in-
jury.
NOTE:Hereyoucanndimportantin-
formation which will help you get the
most out of your FLYER e-bike.
WARNING:This is an indication of pos-
sible damage to property or the environ-
ment.
OBSERVE PRESCRIBED TORQUE:
Screw connections must be tightened
withaspecicfasteningtorue.Thisis
only possible with a special tool called a
torque spanner. Have this work per-
formed by your FLYER specialist retailer
if you do not have the right tools or spe-
cialised knowledge. Parts which have

ous falls. The correct fastening torque is
either imprinted on the component or
listed in the technical data.
Thetoruealuemustnotbeexceeded
in any way, in particular where carbon
parts are used. Use carbon paste to
help reduce the torque while ensuring a
secure connection. Never use conven-
tional grease to lubricate carbon parts.
These symbols will be displayed from now on
without any further explanation, howeer they
stillrepresentthecontentandhazardsexplained
above. Carefully read all the instructions.
3. Safetyinformation
It is essential that you per-
form the tests and inspec-
tions stipulated. Negligence
is a great danger, especially
in this area. Protect yourself
andotherroadtracpartic-
ipants by behaving safely
and responsibly and always
considering the dangers to
which you are subject as a
cyclistamidroadtrac.Al-
wayswearawell-ttingandsuitablehelmet.Ask
yourFLYERspecialistretailerhowtotyourhel-
met correctly so that it protects you properly.
f you are participate in more extreme
bike sports, it is essential that you wear
protectors for your own safety.
These original operating instructions do
not instruct on how to assemble a
FLYER from individual parts, how to re-
pair it or how to get partially assembled
FLYERS ready to operate.
TheFLYERisttedwithhighlycomplex,
modern technology. It must be handled
withspecialisedknowledge,experience
and the specialised tools required. Only
allow your FLYER specialist retailer to
perform work on your FLYER. We are
therefore only able to discuss the most
important aspects in this operating man-
ual. In addition, there are also notes and
instructions from the respective manu-
facturers of the individual components
used on the bicycle. These must also be
considered. The same applies here: If
anything is unclear, do not hesitate to
ask your FLYER specialist retailer.
Being seen on the road is just as important as
being able to see. Therefore, always wear bright
clothingorclothingwithreectieelementswhen
you ride; sports clothing is the best option. Do not
wear loose clothes that might be caught on ob-
jects or might get tangled in the vehicle. Tie your

• The same applies to brake discs
which can get very hot when braking.
Avoid continuous use of the brakes
while driing, een during extended
or steep downhill rides.
• Never attempt to operate your FLYER
with any battery other than the orig-
inal battery. Your FLYER specialist
retailer will advise you regarding the
correct FLYER battery.
• Never remove component covers or
parts. This could expose lie parts.
Connecting points could also be live.
Maintenance work may only be per-
formed by your FLYER specialist re-
tailer. Inappropriate work may lead to
electrical shocks and injuries.
• Take care not to damage or crush
cables while maintaining, cleaning,
transporting or adjusting your FLYER.
• If it is no longer possible to use the bike
safely, you may no longer use your
FLYER . This is the case when live
parts or the battery are damaged or
when you detect cracks in the frame or
in components. The FLYER must be left
unused and secured until it has been
checked by a FLYER specialist retailer.
• If your FLYER has a carbon frame,
please observe the special warnings on
the use of carbon, which can be found
in this manual. Pay particular attention
to the requirement to carry out an in-
spection before each journey, to ensure
thatthespecicationsregardingtorue
and transport method are complied
with,andtorefrainfromexposingcar-
bon parts to high temperatures. Please
refer to Chapter 8.2.
• You should be particularly careful if
children have access to the bike. Pre-
vent children from inserting objects
into openings in the bike. They could

• To store your FLYER in an assem-
bly stand, it should be attached by
the seat post. High-quality alumini-
um frames may be damaged by the
clamping force of the holder; the risk
of this is even greater in the case of
carbon frames. The clip on the seat
tube opening must not be closed
when the seat post is removed from a
FLYER with a carbon frame.
• Do not adjust or tune your FLYER.
This applies in particular to adjusting
the top speed. Doing so may result in
criminal charges or cause severe inju-
ries or even death.
trouser legs on both sides tightly to the body. Tight
clothing on your lower body is also a must, you
should therefore use trouser clips if necessary.
Drive with sturdy shoes. The soles of your shoes
should be rigid and slip-proof. Never ride with
yourhandsothehandlebars.
Look ahead while riding and familiarise yourself
with the response of the brakes in a safe and traf-
c-freeareabeforeyourrstdrie.
Only one person may ride on the FLYER at a
time. Do not carry any loose, unattached objects
with you.
Check that the quick releases are fastened and
secured each time your FLYER has been left
unattended – even if it is for just a short time.
Regularly make sure that all screws and parts are
safely tightened.
Your responsibility as the owner of the vehicle
includes the actions and the safety of possible
under-age users as well as the technical state of
the FLYER e-bike and its adaptation to the driver.
Ensure that under-age drivers have learned safe
and responsible handling of the e-bike - prefera-
bly in the environment in which they will ride it.
ImportantpreparationsforridingyourFLYER
It is essential to read the operating instruc-
tions to familiarise yourself with your new
FLYER . Please read all of the instructions
to ensure safe use. This operating manu-
al assumes that you and all other users of this
FLYER e-bike have a basic knowledge of bicy-
cles and e-bikes. Please contact your FLYER
specialist retailer if you have any questions and
for important maintenance tasks. All persons us-
ing, cleaning, maintaining, repairing and dispos-
ing of the FLYER must know and understand the
content of these instructions.
Not observing this information may have consid-
erable consequences for your safety. If some-
thing is out of place, it could cause severe acci-
dents or you falling over – which could also lead
to addition costs and repair.
Along with reading the specic instruc-
tions on how to use your FLYER , you need
to inform yourself on the rules and regula-
tions that are enforced on public roads –
these can change from country to country.
For more information, contact your FLYER retail
store or your local police department.
Warningsandimportantinformation
• Please consider that additional sup-
port by the motor helps you drive at
signicantly higher speeds than you
are used to with your bicycle.
• Please note that the motor of your
FLYER e-bike may get hot during
long ascents. Do not touch. You could

it with a car, train or plane. There is a
risk of injury if the electrical system is
unintentionally activated.
2. The electric drive system built into
your FLYER e-bike is extremely
powerful. Correct and safe operation
requires you to have your FLYER
regularly maintained by a specialist
retailer. Immediately remove the bat-
tery when you notice damage to the
electrical system, particularly when
lie parts are exposed after an ac-
cident. Always contact your FLYER
specialist retailer when you require
repairs, want to ask a question, have
a problem or discover a defect. A lack
of technical knowledge can lead to
severe accidents, injuries or damage.
