Cleaning and Preventing Corrosion
We do not recommend that you ride your Gocycle in heavy rain or store it in damp or wet areas.
Please read 2.7 Riding in Wet, Cold or Icy Conditions for safety recommendations for riding in wet
conditions.
If you do find yourself riding while it is raining, we recommend that you use the motor when safe to
do so. Using the motor will allow heat to build up in the motor and the electronics, which will
evaporate the water from these moisture-sensitive components. Use caution when you use the motor
on wet roads, as the roads will be slippery and the motor may cause the front wheel to spin.
Water and moisture (especially spray from roads that are salted to reduce the formation of ice) can
accelerate corrosion (rust) of the various metallic components on the Gocycle, and this will reduce the
life of product. Leaving water and moisture on the Gocycle could also result in premature failure of
the electronics, battery or motor system. The warranty will not cover premature failure as a result of
corrosion through neglect.
Here are some best practice recommendations:
If your Gocycle has water on it, we recommend that you wipe it dry as soon as possible with a
towel or dry cloth.
The less you expose your Gocycle to moisture or water, the longer it will last.
Keep your Gocycle inside your house, flat or garage.
If you wish to clean the Gocycle, we recommend that you use a damp towel or cloth and mild
liquid soap. First wipe down all areas with a damp towel, then wipe dry with a dry towel.
To clean the rim and tyre, remove the PitstopWheel, soak the rim and tyre in a bucket of soapy
water and then dry with a towel.
WARNING! Keep your Gocycle clean and dry at all times, where possible. Never spray the Gocycle
with a hose or high-pressure cleaning system. Never use polishes, waxes or solvents to clean your
Gocycle.
