Yes. 

I get really irritated with things which don't come with sufficiant
information for repairs. Back in the mists of ancient time when I was
buying a toy computer, one of the things I decided it _had_ to come
with was reasonably full circuit details.

As for duplicating the design, that is a different issue. However,
should you sell the cycle you should hand on the information you got
when you bourght it.
