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.

Almost all modern brakes provide con-

siderably more braking power than was

available for bicycles in the past. Care-

fully familiarise yourself with the brakes,

practising using them and practise

emergency braking, 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 func-

tionality of your FLYER e-bike may be

impacted or damaged.

Adjust the brake lever to ensure that it

does not touch the handlebars when

pulled hard.

Back pedal brakes

If your FLYER is equipped with back pedal

brakes, brake by pushing the pedals backwards

instead of forwards. This means that your bicycle

will not freewheel and you are unable to rotate the

pedals backwards freely as you otherwise can.

Back pedal brakes work best when both

cranks are in a horizontal position. If one

crank is pointing up and the other one

down, less force can be applied and

braking is less effective.

The effectiveness of back pedal brakes

can deteriorate substantially on long in-

clines. This type of braking system can

become very hot from continuous brak-

ing. You should also use the rim brakes

to slow down on long inclines. Wait until

the back pedal brake has cooled down

and do not touch the brake drum.

Ensure that the brake anchor plate is

correctly attached with the appropriate

screw when removing or installing it.

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 braking

system only delivers its full performance after

around 10 braking cycles from 30 km/h. The brak-

ing 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 braking,

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.

Have the brake disc replaced if it is worn out or

bent. This replacement procedure must be car-

ried out by a FLYER specialist retailer.

Hydraulic brakes

It is possible that brake uid may escape from

the system due to leaky cables and connections.

This can negatively impact the effectiveness of

the brakes. Check the pipes and connections for

tightness before each ride.

Do not ride with your FLYER if uid is leaking from

the braking system. Allow a FLYER specialist re-

tailer to undertake repair work on this part imme-

diately. The danger of your brakes failing in this

condition is very high.
