2.1
General Warning
This manual contains many warnings and cautions, which if ignored, may increase the risk of injury to
you as a rider, may cause damage to the product or may invalidate the warranty. We recommend
that you read and understand this manual in its entirety, prior to your first ride. Before riding your
Gocycle you must visit www.gocycle.com/safety for up to date important safety related information.
Riding any bicycle involves the risk of product damage, serious injury or even death. Such risks are
increased in busy, urban environments with moving traffic. By choosing to ride a Gocycle, you
assume the responsibility for these risks, and it is important that you know how to ride responsibly
and to exercise proper maintenance to minimise such risks and potential damage. Do not try to ride
beyond the limits of your ability or the limits of the Gocycle.
We strongly recommend that you learn more about the inherent risks associated with riding bicycles
and suggest that you:
Ask your local bike retailer for information or instruction on safe cycling.
Ride within your means and ability.
Attend a training session or safe cycling workshop run by many local bike clubs, police
departments, schools or government support groups.
Search “bicycle safety” online for reference information.
Skills of riders can vary; for example, it takes a highly skilled rider to travel at high speeds and/or
close to obstacles, cars or other cyclists. Do not ride in a manner that exceeds the limits of your ability.
