5.2 Fast Folding Frame and Handlebar Latches
WARNING: If your Gocycle has fast folding frame and handlebar latches, before each ride,
you must check that the frame and handlebar latches are locked. To do this, pull hard on the
latch in the direction shown to check that the latch is locked. The latch should not open. If the
latch opens, the latch lock is not engaged and it is not safe to ride the Gocycle. Consult your
Gocycle dealer or Gocycle for assistance. Never ride your Gocycle without first checking that
the frame and handlebar latches are locked and the latch lock is fully engaged.
5.3 Brake Controls and Features
It’s very important to your safety that you learn and remember which brake lever controls which brake
on your bike. Traditionally, in the U.S. the right brake lever controls the rear brake and the left brake
lever controls the front brake; but, to check how your bike’s brakes are set up, squeeze one brake
lever and move the Gocycle forwards or backwards and see which wheel is stopped, front or rear.
Now do the same with the other brake lever.
Make sure that your hands can reach and squeeze the brake levers comfortably. If your hands are too
small to operate the levers comfortably, consult your Gocycle dealer before riding the bike. The lever
reach may be adjustable; or you may need a different brake
lever design.
5.3.1 How Brakes Work
The braking action of a Gocycle is a function of the friction between the braking surfaces. To make
sure that you have maximum friction available, keep your disk rotor and calliper clean and free of dirt,
lubricants, waxes or polishes.
