Before each ride, complete the Ride Safety Checklist:
Component Steps
Torque Values
• Reference the torque chart in assembly step 9 to check the torque on all
fasteners listed.
Brakes
• Verify the front and rear brakes function properly. Pads should fully cover
the brake disc once lever is pulled. To confirm brake contact, verify that
the brake disc moves slightly once the level is pulled.
• Ensure the brake light illuminates once brake lever is pulled.
• Check brake cables to confirm there is no wear or deterioration and they
are properly lubricated and tensioned.
• Check brake pads to ensure they are not over-worn.
• Ensure the lever system is secured to the handlebar (torque: 6Nm).
Tires
• Confirm the tires are inflated to a minimum of 35 PSI.
• Check tires for leaks, signs of wear, tread degradation, or other
compromising damage.
Wheels
• Verify wheel spokes are tight on both ends with no bending.
• Ensure tires and rims rotate straight without wobble.
• Confirm the rear wheel axle nuts are tight and the rear wheel is properly
secured (torque: 50Nm)
• Confirm the front wheel is properly secured by checking that the axle lever
is fully closed and tightened.
Riding & Safe Operating Guidelines
It is the owner’s sole responsibility to ensure safe riding. Among other things:
• Always obey road and traffic laws as applicable in your local area.
• Before riding in more dynamic conditions, practice and familiarize yourself with the
operations of the eBike, including braking, pedal assist, and throttle.
• Always wear a helmet that meets the US CPSC standard. Wearing a helmet can
prevent head injuries.
• After a crash or an incident, do not ride your eBike until you have a certified and
reputable bike mechanic inspect the eBike to ensure proper function of the eBike and
all its components.
• It is recommended not to ride at night or in wet weather. Ride at night and in wet
weather only if necessary.
• If it is unavoidable to ride at night or in wet weather:
– Wear reflective or light-colored clothing
– Ride slowly with caution
– Ensure the headlight and brake light are powered on and functioning properly
WARNING! The Flyer™ eBike is not meant for use in wet conditions. Water intrusion
can damage the eBike’s electrical system and cause battery failure, electrical system
malfunction, or fire.
Seat
• Ensure the seat is securely connected to the eBike and the seat cannot be
moved.
• Confirm the adjustment lever is fully tightened and locked.
• Verify the seat is properly adjusted to fit your height.
• Confirm that the seat is securely fastened to the post (torque: 10 Nm).
Handlebar
• Confirm the handlebar always aligns with fork when moving in desired
direction and both parts turn in unison.
• Ensure the steering spring is connected on both ends with no interference
from cables.
• Secure the front wheel or fork, preventing it from turning. Apply
approximately 20 lbs of force to one of the handlebar grips. The
handlebar should not rotate independently from the front wheel or fork.
• Confirm the stem clamp bolts are tightened to 6 Nm and the stem
faceplate bolts are tightened to 6 to 8 Nm.
Chain
• Ensure the chain is properly lubricated and runs smoothly.
• After using in rough weather conditions such as rain, snow, or other severe
weather, verify that chain and links are clean and undamaged.
• Confirm the chain tension mechanism is in line with the pedal assembly
and derailleur.
Bearings
• Verify all bearings are lubricated and run smoothly with no unnatural
sounds such as grinding or rattling.
• Check the bearings in the headset assembly, pedals and bottom bracket,
and the rear wheel.
Cranks & Pedals
• Confirm pedals are tightly secured to the cranks (torque: 35Nm)
and the crank is tightly secured to the bottom bracket spindle
(torque: 40Nm).
• Verify cranks are parallel to the downtube and not bent.
Frame & Fork
• Confirm there is no damage or bending to the front fork and frame and
that fork is parallel with the front tire.
Motor Drive
Assembly &
Throttle
• Confirm that none of the spokes securing the hub motor are broken or loose.
• Verify that the brake disc is secured to the hub motor and all screws are tight.
• Turn on display before ride to confirm all features are working correctly.
• Ensure the throttle functions properly.
Battery
• Always charge the battery before each use.
• Confirm there is no damage to the battery.
• Ensure the battery is always securely locked to the frame with the keys
removed.
Control Cables
• Confirm all cables are routed away from moving parts and allow the
headset to rotate freely.
• Confirm cables, housings, and electrical connectors are undamaged and
free of debris and liquids.
• Verify the headlight, taillight, and brake light are connected and
functioning properly.
