Maximum Design Limit
WARNING! This product has been designed with a maximum recommended weight limit of 100kg
(220lbs) for the rider, clothing and all luggage, and is intended for use on paved roads. For rider and
luggage weight 100-115kg (220-250lbs): riding style, road condition, tire pressures and luggage
position may reduce product service life. Luggage weight should not exceed 10% of total rider and
luggage weight. Never exceed rider and luggage weight of 115kg (250lbs) at any time. Exceeding this
limit will void all warranties and may result in the product being unsafe for operation.
2.5
Riding in Low Light Conditions
In low light conditions at night, dawn, dusk or during adverse weather conditions such as fog, the
visibility of cyclists is dramatically reduced.
WARNING! Never ride a bicycle in low light conditions without appropriate front and rear lights fitted
and “on” (illuminated) that meet or exceed the national standards of the country in which it is being
ridden.
We recommend that you consult the relevant national safety organization or a reputable cycle dealer
on what the minimum recommended lighting requirements are in your particular country or region.
For reference when selecting lights, your Gocycle has a 34.9mm diameter seat post and upper
handlebar stem. We recommend that you choose a light with a variable length strap mounting
system.
The following are additional recommendations:
Wear bright, reflective clothing such as reflective vests, leg and arm bands
Ensure that your Gocycle is equipped with correctly positioned reflectors (see 4.4 Assembling
the Front and Rear Reflectors)
2.6
Stopping the Gocycle
The Gocycle is equipped with front and rear hydraulic disk brakes, operated by two levers on the
handlebars (shown). Before riding, it is important to familiarise yourself with which brake lever
operates the front brake and which operates the rear brake. Proper use of your brakes will slow and
bring your Gocycle to a safe and controlled stop.
WARNING! To slow or stop the Gocycle in normal operation, apply the brakes appropriately. In the
event that an emergency stop is required, apply the brakes appropriately and in a safe and controlled
manner until you have brought the Gocycle to a complete stop. Do not release the brakes until it is
safe to do so.
