Stowing the Kickstand

• Roll the bike backwards and the kickstand legs will fold up partially.
• To complete the movement, place your foot behind one of the kickstand legs and gently lift it towards the front of the bike. 

Deploying the Kickstand

• Press downwards on one of tabs on either side using your foot.
• Lift the rear of the bike to ensure the kickstand has fully deployed.

Do's and Don'ts

• Never unfold the Gocycle with the kickstand stowed. This can damage the paint on the frame. 
• Never attempt to stow the kickstand by leaning the Gocycle onto one leg and kicking the other leg forward.  This will damage the kickstand.
  
• Do not sit on the Gocycle when the kickstand is deployed. This will damage the kickstand.
• Please ensure you follow the above guidelines for full warranty coverage on your kickstand or frame paint.
  

Installing the Kickstand

Gocycle G2, G3 and GS

• Locate and orientate the Kickstand over the M8 bolt, so that the legs will fold forward and follow the shape of the underside of the frame.  
• Using a 13mm Spanner tighten the nut to a maximum torque of 20Nm.

Please see the document linked below

Gocycle GX and GXi

• Locate and orientate the Kickstand over the threaded hole in the frame, so that the legs will fold forward and follow the shape of the underside of the frame.  
• Insert the screw through the kickstand, and thread into the frame
• Use a 5mm Hex key and tighten to 6-8Nm

Adjusting the Kickstand

Occasionally it may be necessary to adjust the Kickstand movement. This can be adjusted using the 6mm hex head bolts on the kickstand body.

• Tightening the bolts will slow the Kickstand movement and loosening the bolts will increase the speed of the movement.
• When adjusting the action of the Kickstand make incremental changes and test regularly to prevent damage to the Gocycle and Kickstand.
