4.1
Intended Use
Gocycle is an electric bicycle developed with responsible professional customers and their families and friends in
mind. The design and build contemplates commuting usage and/or simple riding context in fair weather and at
speeds relevant to safe and appropriate travel in an urban environment. Where applicable, the product has been
tested to meet or exceed minimum requirements outlined in EN 14764, BS 6102 and North American Bicycle
Standards and has CE certification on the battery pack, charger, and front motor fork electronics. Abusive riding
styles or inappropriate use will invalidate any warranty protection offered in this agreement.
The Gocycle, including its associated KKL products, is intended as a power-assisted bicycle for sensible use by
physically competent consumers. If you have any concerns or doubts about your use or enjoyment of such a
product due to illness or recovery from treatment for illness, you should consult your doctor regarding the
suitability of the product for you in the light of any medical condition under consideration or treatment by such
experts. In the event that you are the user of an implanted medical device such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, you
agree to seek appropriate advice from the manufacturer of such device prior to the usage of KKL products.
4.2
Maximum Design Limit: Rider and Luggage Not to Exceed 100kg (220lbs)
WARNING! This product has been designed with a maximum weight limit of 100kg (220lbs) for the
rider, clothing, and all luggage. Do not exceed this weight limit at any time. Riding or even sitting on
the Gocycle while stationary with weight exceeding this limit will void all warranties and cause the
product to be unsafe for operation.
4.3
Limited Life Span
WARNING! Bicycles have a limited life span for safe operation.
As with all mechanical components, bicycles’ components are subject to wear and high stresses. Different materials
and components may react to wear or stress fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a component has been
exceeded, it may suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries to the rider or even death. Any form of crack, scratch or
change of colouring in highly stressed areas indicates that the life of the component has been reached and it should
be replaced before any further use. Any unusual or abusive riding style, such as jumping or excessive speed and
braking, can accelerate wear and fatigue of components to the point where premature and sudden without warning
failure of the component may occur.
See section 9.4 for parts of the Gocycle that require visual inspection from time to time.
4.4
Attaching the Front and Rear Reflectors
WARNING! Never ride a bicycle without fitted front and rear reflectors that meet or exceed the
national standards of the territory in which it is being ridden. In most countries, riding a bicycle
without front and rear reflectors is illegal.
Gocycle is shipped with front and rear reflectors in the ‘small parts bag’. Locate these reflectors and the mounting
accessories and attach them as shown in Section 6.
