Familiarising Yourself with Gocycle Dashboard Display
Battery charge indicator/mode reference/energy consumption meter
NOTE: If the Gocycle is stationary (including when on charge) for more than one minute (60
seconds), the display screen saver will be shown. Press either button to view the charge state.
6.2
Understanding Electronic Gear Shifting
Your Gocycle is equipped with electronic shifting. Whilst riding, single click button B to shift up a
gear. Your Gocycle also includes a predictive downshift feature (see 6.2.1 Turning Predictive Shifting
ON/OFF to read how to turn off this feature). When slowing down, your Gocycle will automatically
downshift from 3rd gear to 2nd gear (at speed 7 LEDs) and from 2nd gear to 1st gear (at speed 3
LEDs). It is possible to override the automatic downshift by pressing and holding button B for 1
second to shift down.
WARNING! Electronic shifting can appear to be sensitive compared to traditional mechanical shifting.
Familiarise yourself with upshifting and downshifting before riding on busy roads or in traffic.
Take extra care when wearing gloves. Gloves will reduce the sensitivity of your fingers and thumbs
and may cause an unwanted gear selection.
