Gocycle® Owner’s Manual for GX, April 2019

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.

2 SETUP, CONFIGURATION, AND GETTING STARTED

NOTE: We strongly urge you to read this manual in its entirety before your first ride. At the very least,

read and make sure that you understand each point in this section, and refer to the cited sections on

any issue that you don’t completely understand. Please note that not all Gocycles have all of the

features described in this Manual. Ask your Gocycle dealer to point out the features of your Gocycle

or contact Gocycle if you have purchased your Gocycle from Gocycle.

2.1 Setup

WARNING: Ensure that your Gocycle dealer has configured and labelled your Gocycle

appropriately for your region of operation. If you are configuring your Gocycle with the

GocycleConnect App, ensure that you are an authorised person authorised to configure the

Gocycle to the region of operation.

2.1 Pre-Ride Checks

NOTE: Correct fit is an essential element of bicycling safety, performance and comfort. Making the

adjustments to your Gocycle that result in correct fit for your body and riding conditions requires

experience, skill and special tools. Always have your Gocycle dealer make the adjustments on your

Gocycle; or, if you have the experience, skill and tools, have your Gocycle dealer check your work

before riding. We strongly recommend that you use the GocycleConnect App to complete the

Pre-ride Checks.

WARNING: If your Gocycle does not fit you properly, you may lose control and fall. If your

new bike doesn’t fit you, do not ride it.
