WARNING: We highly recommend that you carry a spare inner tube when you ride your
Gocycle. Patching a tube is an emergency repair. If you do not apply the patch correctly or
apply several patches, the tube can fail, resulting in possible tube failure, which could cause

WARNING: Gocycles and Gocycle components are technically complex and new
developments are being added continually and the pace of electric bicycle innovation is
increasing. It is impossible for this manual to provide all the information required to properly
repair and/or maintain your Gocycle. In order to help minimize the chances of an accident and
possible injury, it is critical that you have any repair or maintenance that is not specifically

If you want to learn to do major service and repair work on your bike:
1. Ask your Gocycle dealer for copies of the manufacturer's installation and service instructions
for the components on your bike, or contact Gocycle.
2. Use an appropriately recommended book on bicycle repair to help build your broad
knowledge on bicycle repair.
3. Ask your local bicycle dealer about the availability of bicycle repair courses in your area.
We recommend that you ask your Gocycle dealer to check the quality of your work the first time you
work on something and before you ride the bike, just to make sure that you did everything correctly.
Since that will require the time of a mechanic, there may be a modest charge for this service.
We also recommend that you ask your Gocycle dealer for guidance on what spare parts, such as
tires, inner tubes, light bulbs, batteries, Patch Kit, lubricants etc. it would be appropriate for you to
have once you have learned how to replace such parts when they require replacement.
