WARNING! First familiarise yourself with the modes of operation, controls and
performance of your Gocycle before venturing onto busy streets.
We strongly recommend that you familiarise yourself with your new Gocycle by first riding it in a
controlled environment, away from potential hazards such as moving traffic and obstacles. It is
important to become familiar with the modes of operation, controls, brakes and the different
performance characteristics inherent in the electric motor.
WARNING! Your braking efficiency will increase during the first few rides as your brake
disks and pads “bed in”. To accelerate the increase in braking performance, perform a number
of controlled stops under hard braking.
WARNING! Please ensure that you visit www.gocycle.com/safety at least once every three
months to check if there are any Technical Bulletins relating to your model and frame number.
Having your contact email as the main registered email with the GocycleConnect App is
strongly advised. If we ever need to contact you about an important safety or service issue, we
will do this by email to the email address that you registered with on the GocycleConnect App.
Make sure you add Gocycle.com to your safe sender list.
3 SAFETY
3.1 The Basics
WARNING: The area in which you ride may require specific safety devices. It is your
responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the area where you ride and to comply
with all applicable laws, including properly equipping yourself and your bike as the law
requires.
Observe all local bicycle and electric bicycle laws and regulations. Observe regulations about
bicycle and electric bicycle lighting, licensing of bicycle and electric bicycle, riding on sidewalks, laws
regulating bike path and trail use, helmet laws, child carrier laws, special bicycle and electric bicycle
traffic, power, and speed laws, and laws about bicycle and electric bicycle labelling or marking, and
insurance requirements for bicycles and electric bicycles. It’s your responsibility to know and obey the
laws.
1. Always wear a cycling helmet that meets the latest certification standards and is
appropriate for the type of riding you do. Always follow the helmet manufacturer’s
instructions for fit, use and care of your helmet. Most serious bicycle and electric
bicycle injuries involve head injuries that might have been avoided if the rider had worn
an appropriate helmet.
WARNING: Failure to wear a helmet when riding may result in serious injury or death.
2. Always do the Mechanical Safety Check (Section 2) before you get on the Gocycle.
3. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls of your Gocycle: brakes (Section 5); pedals (Section
5); shifting (Section 5)
4. Be careful to keep body parts and other objects away from the disk brakes, hot motor surface,
the turning pedals and cranks, and the spinning wheels of your Gocycle.
5. Always wear:
Shoes that will stay on your feet and will grip the pedals. Make sure that
shoelaces cannot get into moving parts, and never ride barefoot or in sandals.
