How to format your microSD card

The Fly6 CE is an unsupported Fly device, check out our latest Fly6.

Cycliq devices require microSD cards to be formatted to FAT32 to correctly function.

We recommend that you format your microSD card with the CycliqPlus mobile app as it is designed with this task in mind.

That said, there are several ways you can format your Fly6 CE’s microSD card:

Formatting with the CycliqPlus mobile app

You have now formatted the microSD card on your Fly6 CE. You’re ready to ride!

You can format your Fly6 CE’s microSD card with your computer by connecting the provided USB cable.

As soon as the USB cable is connected it will be detected as a Mass Storage disk in macOS/Windows.

Note: If your Fly6 CE is not recognised, please use an SD card adapter and plug the microSD card directly into your computer.

Note: The disk formatting tool that comes with Windows 8/10 is unable to format microSD cards larger than 32GB as FAT32.

We recommend using the free Rufus Formatting Tool for Windows 8/10 users to correctly format microSD cards larger than 32GB as FAT32.

Insert the microSD card into your computer preferably using a card reader; it can also be performed over the provided USB cable.

Once you have downloaded and installed the software, please open the application Rufus.

Follow these steps to ensure the formatting process is completed correctly.

Partition scheme – MBR

After formatting, simply re-insert the microSD card into your Fly6 CE and turn it on.

The device will automatically re-install the system files and you will be good to go!
