WARNING: Loose or damaged handlebar grips or extensions can cause you to lose
control and fall. Unplugged handlebars or extensions can cut you and cause serious injury in
an otherwise minor accident.
WARNING: Please also read and become thoroughly familiar with the important
information on the lifespan of your Gocycle and its components in the Appendix.
2.5 First Ride
When you buckle on your helmet and go for your first familiarization ride on your new Gocycle, be
sure to pick a controlled environment, away from cars, other cyclists, obstacles or other hazards. Ride
to become familiar with the controls, features and performance of your new Gocycle.
Familiarize yourself with the braking action of the Gocycle (see Section 5). Test the brakes at slow
speed, putting your weight toward the rear and gently applying the brakes, rear brake first. Sudden or
excessive application of the front brake could pitch you over the handlebars. Applying brakes too hard
can lock up a wheel, which could cause you to lose control and fall. Skidding is an example of what
can happen when a wheel locks up.
Practice shifting the gears (see Section 5). Check out the handling and response of the Gocycle; and
check the comfort.
If you have any questions, or if you feel anything about the Gocycle is not as it should be, consult your
Gocycle dealer or Gocycle before you ride again.
2.5.1 Riding Modes
You can operate your Gocycle in different pre-set modes or generate a custom mode to suit your
personal riding style with the GocycleConnect App. City mode is the default configuration when your
Gocycle is first set up.
WARNING! Make sure you understand how you have configured your Gocycle and which
mode you have set your Gocycle to operate. It is your responsibility to know and understand
how you have configured your Gocycle. Make sure you explain this and all important safety
points to any other user you may offer a test ride too.
WARNING! The Gocycle electric drive will change your normal speed envelope. For a
similar effort that you are used to with riding a bicycle, you will travel faster! You will catch up
to other road users in front of you more easily and this may surprise you. Be prepared to use
the brakes and apply safe braking technique. Take time to get used to this new speed envelop
on quiet roads before venturing out into busier traffic.
