Introduction
Dear customer,
Congratulations and welcome to the growing family of GoBike users and enthusiasts of
fresh new solutions in modern mobility! Your GoBike is a very high tech bike. It comprises
a selection of forward-minded features and thoroughly-developed and manufactured
components, all fully tested to give you years of safe and enjoyable bike riding.
In this manual we’ve gathered together plenty of tips about using your bike, along with
valuable information about cycle technology, care and maintenance. The GoBike takes
advantage of unusually innovative technology, so even if you consider yourself familiar and
knowledgeable with riding bikes and bicycle technology, do read and observe the
following tips carefully before you first use the bike. There are a whole series of
maintenance and assembly procedures described in this manual. If you carry out any of
these, you must always remember that the instructions apply only to the GoBike and not
to any other bike. It’s also possible that because of the wide range of models, and regular
model changes, that the instructions are not entirely complete. We ask for your compre-
hension if that is the case.
With this in mind, always follow the instructions provided by the component
manufacturers included with this manual, or which will be given to you by your
GoBike reseller.
Also consider that the explanations may, depending on your level of experience and
mechanical aptitude, be insufficient, and may also require special tools and knowledge of
common (not described here) mechanical operations.
Warning: In the interests of your own safety, don’t go beyond your limits. If you are in any
doubt consult your GoBike reseller
To conclude this introduction, we would like to remind you of a few things important for
any cyclist. In traffic, always ride with full attention, so that you do not endanger yourself
or others. Observe traffic laws and regulations of the country or state where you will be
riding your bike, so that you don’t attract the anger of other road users. Respect nature
when you’re riding in the countryside. Ride only on marked and surfaced roads. Observe
any laws and regulations for the use of bicycles off-road – including regional or local
bye-laws. Never ride without a helmet, and wear bright or light coloured clothing so you
can easily be seen. Never ride at night without reflectors and a proper lighting system.
We hope you have great fun on your new GoBike!
