  • Page 5: Safety

    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.

  • Page 6: Maximum Design Limit

    ® Gocycle Owner’s Manual for G2R, Version 2 (Frames 210001–220199) Modifications can cause damage which can increase the risk of failure and accident which may result  in serious injury or death. Refinishing can hide structural damage, such as fatigue cracks or structural  problems which may also result in an accident.   2.4 Maximum Design Limit WARNING! This product has been designed with a maximum weight limit of 100kg (220lbs) for the rider, clothing and all luggage. Do not exceed this weight limit at any time. Exceeding this limit will void all warranties, may reduce the fatigue life of the product and may result in the product being unsafe for operation.

  • Page 7: Limited Life Span

    ® Gocycle Owner’s Manual for G2R, Version 2 (Frames 210001–220199) We do not recommend riding in heavy rain or standing water, but we do understand that this is not  always avoidable. If your Gocycle gets wet, clean and dry it within 15 minutes of heavy wet weather  riding. See 7.1 Cleaning and Preventing Corrosion for more information.  2.7 Limited Life Span WARNING! Bicycles have a limited life span for safe operation and are not indestructible. As with all mechanical components, bicycle components are subject to wear and high stresses.  Different materials and components may react to wear, stress or fatigue in different ways. Exceeding  the useful life of your Gocycle may be hazardous.  The expected life span of a Gocycle or Gocycle component will vary with the material and  construction of the frame and components, the maintenance that is received over its life and the type  and amount of riding. Any unusual or abusive riding style, such as off‐road cycling, competitive  riding, stunt cycling, jumping or riding at excessive speed and braking hard, can accelerate wear and  fatigue of components to the point where premature and sudden failure of a component may occur  without warning and risk of injury is increased.  ...
