Empower Pack: Charging
You can charge the battery while it is inside the frame and with the controller plugged in.
WARNING! Never charge the battery if the Gocycle has been ridden in heavy rain and has water
droplets on the frame. Never charge the Gocycle while it is exposed to rain; for example, when it is
outside in the rain. You should wait until the water has completely evaporated from all surfaces
before charging. If you must charge the battery and cannot wait until the Gocycle is completely dry,
then you should remove the battery pack from the frame, dry it with a dry cloth and charge it
separately from the Gocycle.
To charge the Gocycle, ensure that the main lead voltage on the charger is set to the mains voltage in your country
(240V or 110V). Ensure that you have the correct power cord or an adapter to meet the mains plug requirements in
your country. In some cases, you may need to purchase a standard power cable such as that used on a computer
sold at a computer supply store.
1. Ensure that the charger is switched off (0 or ‘zero’).
2. Plug the charger into the mains supply.
3. Plug the charge lead into the socket at the rear of the battery pack.
4. Turn on the charger (1 or ‘one’).
All three lights will turn on for 1-2 seconds, and then the red light and yellow light will turn to solid
indicating that the batteries are charging. Depending on the state of charge of the batteries, the charge cycle
time could vary from 30 minutes to 4 hours.
5. When charging is complete, a green light will show solid (a flashing green light indicates the charge cycle is
nearly complete).
6. FOR BEST PERFORMANCE AND LONG LIFE OF THE BATTERY, YOU SHOULD PLACE THE
BATTERY ON CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER ANY RIDING AND LEAVE IT CHARGING
CONTINUOUSLY 24 HOURS PER DAY. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY THE EQUIVALENT OF
LEAVING A 40 WATT LIGHT BULB ON FOR 1 HOUR PER DAY.
7. THE NEXT BEST PRACTICE FOR YOUR BATTERY IS TO CHARGE IT FULLY AT LEAST
ONCE PER WEEK AND ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY AFTER A RIDE.
