5.10 E lectrical motor
Additional . data . and . instructions . concerning . the .
electrical . system . of . your . FLYER . e-bike . are . in-
cluded in the attached operating instructions for
the electrical system installed, which cover the
following components:
• Battery
• Charger
• Drive unit
• Speed sensor and spoke magnet
Information . on . the . function . and . range . of . your .
FLYER's .motor .is .listed .below:
Function
The motor starts working as soon as you start
pedalling when one of the assistance modes has
been .selected.
The performance of the motor depends on sev-
eral factors:
• The .force .used .while .pedalling.
The assistance is more gentle when you
pedal with low force than when you pedal with
higher .force, .e.g. .while .riding .uphill. .However, .
this increases the power consumption and
decreases .the .range.
• The assistance mode
The higher the level of assistance, the more
power .the .motor .will .provide. .However, .
high motor performance means high power
consumption. .The .lowest .assistance .mode .
provides the least assistance but also the
longest .range.
Range
Any . specified . range . information . is . usually . ob-
tained .under .optimal .conditions. .Ranges .achieved .
under .everyday .conditions .will .usually .be .shorter.
Please .consider .this .when .planning .your .route.
The . range . depends . on . many . factors. . These . in-
clude battery capacity, motor assistance level
selected, geographical conditions, road surface,
driving style, environmental temperature, the
weight of the rider, tyre pressure and the technical
state .of .your .FLYER .e-bike.
Driving without drive assistance
You .can .also .drive .your .FLYER .without .drive .as-
sistance .by .selecting .the .assistance .mode ."OFF". .
However, you must ensure that your system is
always .switched .on.
Never . drive . without . a . battery . or . with .
your system switched off, as the func-
tions of the operating unit and the light-
ing functions are not available in this
case.
Always .remove .the .battery .before .clean-
ing, .maintaining .or .repairing .your .e-bike.
Ensure that you do not touch and thus
possibly connect contacts when clean-
ing .or .maintaining .the .battery.
You .risk .being .hurt .and .the .battery .may .
suffer .damage .if .the .contacts .are .live.
Do . not . use . a . strong . water . jet . or .
high-pressure .cleaner .for .cleaning. .The .
cleaning . liquid . may . enter . sealed . bear-
ings due to high pressure, dilute the
lubricant . and . increase . friction. .As . a . re-
sult, rust is formed which destroys the
bearings. .Cleaning .with .a .high-pressure .
cleaner may damage the electrical sys-
tem.
The following are not suitable for clean-
ing .your .FLYER .e-bike:
• Acids
• Fats
• Oil
• Brake cleaner (only to use on brake
discs)
• Solvent-based .liquids.
These damage the surfaces and contrib-
ute .to .wear .on .the .FLYER .e-bike.
After .use, .ensure .that .you .dispose .of .the .
lubricant, cleaning and care products in an
environmentally . friendly . way. .These . sub-
stances do not belong in domestic waste,
in .the .drain .or .in .natural .environments.
Smooth operation and durability of your
FLYER . e-bike . depend . on . appropriate .
maintenance .and .care .for .your .FLYER.
• Regularly . clean . your . FLYER . with .
warm water, small amounts of clean-
ing .agent .and .a .sponge.
• While . cleaning . the . FLYER, . always .
check .your .e-bike .for .cracks, .notches .
or .material .deformities.
• Damaged parts must be replaced with
original .spare .parts. .Please .only .ride .
your . FLYER . again . after . this . check .
has .been .carried .out.
• Have any paint damage removed by
your .FLYER .specialist .retailer.
Further important information concerning care for
your .FLYER .e-bike .is .provided .on .the .website .of .
the .respective .component .manufacturer.
