GENERAL WARNING:
Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a Gocycle, you
assume the responsibility for that risk, so you need to know — and to practice — the rules of safe and
responsible riding and of proper use and maintenance. Proper use and maintenance of your Gocycle
reduces risk of injury.
Warning: 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.
This Manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of failure to
maintain or inspect your Gocycle and of failure to follow safe cycling practices.
The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word
WARNING
indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word
CAUTION
indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or is an alert against
unsafe practices.
The word
CAUTION
used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation which, if not avoided,
could result in serious damage to the Gocycle or the voiding of your warranty.
Many of the Warnings and Cautions say, “You may lose control and fall”. Because any fall can result
in serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat the warning of possible injury or death.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition that can occur while riding, this
Manual makes no representation about the safe use of the Gocycle under all conditions. There are
risks associated with the use of any Gocycle which cannot be predicted or avoided, and which are the
sole responsibility of the rider.
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.
