Step 2: Familiarise Yourself with the Gocycle Dashboard

Before operating your Gocycle, you will need to: 1) charge your Gocycle, 2) familiarise

yourself with the dashboard display, 3) understand the electronic shifting, and 4) set the

mode of operation that is best suited to your personal riding preference and appropriate

for the country in which you are operating the Gocycle*. Also ensure you complete the

Pre-Ride Checks (see over). Please consult the Gocycle Owner’s Manual for more detailed

information regarding these steps.

City mode: utilises your Gocycle’s torque sensor, with the motor assistance level controlled by rider pedal input.

(Hard pedalling = high motor assistance, soft pedalling = less motor assistance).

In this mode, within the motor operating speed and whilst the rider is providing pedal input, the motor will start

automatically and will continue to operate until the maximum speed is reached. For maximum motor assistance,

press and hold the red power button. Above the maximum motor speed, the motor will stop. There is no need to

press the red power button. When the pedals cease to rotate or with reduced pedal input, the motor will stop.

Eco mode: operates in the same manner as City mode, but the rider must pedal harder to gain assistance. Use this

mode if you wish to conserve your battery and increase your range. In this mode, within the motor operating speed

and whilst the rider is providing pedal input, the motor will start automatically and will continue to operate until the

maximum speed is reached.

For maximum motor assistance, press and hold the red power button. Above the maximum motor speed, the motor

will stop. There is no need to press the red power button. When the pedals cease to rotate or with reduced pedal

input, the motor will stop.

On Demand mode: the rider can simply choose whether or not to have motor assistance. Select this mode if you

wish to ride the Gocycle without motor assistance—or assistance only when required.

In On Demand mode, within the motor operating speed and whilst pedalling, simply press and hold the red power

button to start and maintain motor assistance. The motor will continue to operate until the maximum speed is

reached, or until the pedals cease to turn, or until the power button is released. When the pedals cease to rotate or

the power button is released, the motor will stop.

Custom mode: The factory default setting is Eco+, which operates in the same manner as Eco mode, but the rider must

pedal harder to gain assistance. Use this mode if you wish to further conserve your battery and increase your range.

In this mode, within the motor operating speed and whilst the rider is providing pedal input, the motor will start

automatically and will continue to operate until the maximum speed is reached. For maximum motor assistance,

press and hold the red power button. Above the maximum motor speed, the motor will stop. There is no need to

press the red power button. When the pedals cease to rotate or with reduced pedal input, the motor will stop.

Custom mode is fully customizable via the Gocycle App. For more information, please visit www.gocycle.com/app or

contact your local reseller.

Note: In any riding mode, relying heavily on the motor assistance will dramatically reduce the range of your battery

and increase the wear on your motor drive components. See Owner’s Manual 6.4 Maximising Your Gocycle’s Motor

Performance and Reliability for more information as to how to get the best out of your Gocycle.

Your Gocycle is equipped with electronic shifting. Whilst riding, single click button Bto shift

up a gear. Your Gocycle includes a predictive downshift feature. When slowing down, your

Gocycle will automatically downshift from 3rd gear to 2nd gear (at 7 LEDs) and from 2nd

gear to 1st gear (at 3 LEDs). It is possible to override the automatic downshift by double-

clicking button Bto shift down.

CAUTION! Electronic shifting can appear to be sensitive compared to traditional

mechanical shifting. Practise to familiarise yourself with upshifting and downshifting before

riding on busy roads or in traffic.

*Power and speed regulations for electric

vehicles vary from country to country. If

you are unsure, before selecting the mode

of operation, please consult your local

transportation authority.

Step 5: Returning the Battery to Sleep Mode

The Gocycle will use power when stationary and in Operation mode, or while the charger light is green. This will drain the battery. Best practice is to enter Sleep mode to conserve the

battery—when not in use and/or the battery is fully charged. With the Gocycle disconnected from the battery charger, press and hold the button on the battery until the two right LEDs flash

and the dashboard display turns off. Refer to section 5.3 of the Gocycle Owner’s Manual for more information.
