mm 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 4.6 Assembling
the Front and Rear Reflectors).
