We do not recommend that you inflate the tyres to more than 60psi. Higher inflation pressures will reduce comfort
and the life of the rim and tyre.
WARNING! Inflating the front tyre to more than 30psi places high shock loads into the motor drive
clutch while using the power on acceleration or over rough roads. We strongly recommend that if you
are running higher than 30psi front tyre pressure or you are above 85kg in weight, that you adopt a
smooth riding/power style. Just like in a car as you would not ‘drop’ the clutch on rough roads while
the engine is revving high or accelerate rapidly on very rough roads, we recommend that you release
the power button when going over potholes or speed bumps or similar obstructions in the road.
Smooth riding styles are generally proven to be the most efficient and fastest, with the bonus of
giving your machinery the longest life span.
Tyre pressure should not be less than 20psi on the front and 40psi on the rear.
When changing a tyre, always use plastic tyre irons. Never use a metal tyre iron as you will damage the rim.
Note the correct direction of the tread of the Gocycle tyre in relation to the wheels (see figure below).
In the event that you wish to use a lower performance tyre with increased puncture resistance, you can use any
BMX-sized tyre (406x40-47) from 1.75" to 2". We recommend the Vredestein Moree tyre as an alternative to the
Gocycle performance tyre.
WARNING! When the centreline grooves in the tyre have worn down, it may be dangerous to
continue to ride on the tyre, and in this event, we recommend that you replace the tyre.

Seat Rotation
In the event that the seat twists side to side during riding, you can increase the tension in the seat height adjustment
lever as follows:
Turn the black washer clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen the seat height adjuster lever.
Do not turn the washer more than one eighth of a turn either way before inserting the upper seat tube
assembly into the lower seat tube assembly and testing the tightness of the seat height adjusting lever.
It is not possible to prevent all rotation of the seat.
