15. Brake

1. Brakes are safety components. Have

the setting and maintenance work per

formed by your FLYER specialist retail-

er. Only original spare parts may be

used. Otherwise it is possible that the

functionality of your FLYER e-bike may

be impacted or damaged. No modica

tions of the brake system are permitted.

2. The braking effect of modern brakes is

very strong. You must get used to the

braking performance of the new brakes.

Activate the brake carefully. You should

practise emergency braking in a safe,

trafc-free area so that you can safely

handle your FLYER even during very

intense braking manoeuvres.

3. On long downward sloping sections

you should not brake gently all the

time as this can cause the brakes to

overheat, thus causing braking per

formance to fade or fail altogether.

Alternate between applying the front

and back brake on long and steep

downhill sections to allow the other

brake to cool. It is preferable to brake

sharply for a shorter time before tak

ing bends or if you are riding too fast.

This allows the brakes to cool down

in the meantime. This preserves your

braking power. The only exception is

if you are cycling in slippery condi

tions such as on sand or a smooth

surface. You should then exercise

great care, slowing yourself down us

ing the rear brake. Otherwise there is

the risk of the front wheel slipping out

to the side and causing a fall. Take

regular breaks during long downhill

sections to give the brakes sufcient

time to cool down. Do not touch the

brakes for at least 30 minutes after

riding as they can become very hot.

4. Almost all modern brakes provide

considerably more braking power

than was available for bicycles in

the past. Carefully familiarise your

self with the brakes, practising using

them and practise emergency brak

ing, starting on safe ground with no

trafc before setting out into the traf

c. Look ahead while riding. Only use

original replacement parts. Otherwise

it is possible that the functionality of

your FLYER e-bike may be impacted

or damaged. Adjust the brake lever to

ensure that it does not touch the han

dlebars when pulled hard.

Only original spare parts may be used

when changing the brakes.

Disc brake

Disc brakes must be installed and ser-

viced by a FLYER specialist retailer. In-

correctly set up brakes can cause acci-

dents and serious injuries.

A brake test is required before each drive and

particularly after each brake adjustment. Braking

behaviour may vary, in particular after exchanging

the brake pads. Disc brakes require a bedding-

in time to wear in the discs and pads. The brake

does not deliver its full braking performance until

after around 10 heavy braking operations under

taken at 30 km/h. The braking force increases

during this time. Consider this during the entire

duration of the wearing-in period.

This wearing-in period is also required after re

placing the brake pads or discs.

Pay attention to any unusual noise when brak

ing, as this could be a sign that the brake pads

have worn down to the wear limit. Check the

thickness of the brake pads once the brakes have

cooled down. If necessary, have the brake pads

replaced.

Please do not touch the brake disc while

it is rotating. You can suffer serious inju

ries if your nger is caught in the gaps of

a rotating disc brake. The brake calliper

and disc may get hot during braking. You

could suffer burns if you touch this part

during or directly after braking.
