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.
WARNING! The motor will continue to operate while the rider exerts pedal effort and is travelling
within the motor operating speed. To stop the motor, cease pedalling, or reduce pedal effort.
Control motor assistance level—must be turning
High pedal effort, or press and hold red power button
Top Speed (Motor Cut-Out Speed)
6.3.2.3 On Demand Mode
In 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.
Note: Relying heavily on the motor assistance will dramatically reduce the range of your battery and
increase the wear on your motor drive components. See 6.5 Maximising Your Gocycle’s Motor
Performance and Reliability for more information as to how to get the best out of your Gocycle.
WARNING! The motor will continue to operate while the red button is pressed and the pedals are
rotating. To stop the motor, cease pedalling or release the red power button.
Press and hold for motor to operate

6.3.2.4 Eco + (Custom Mode)
The factory default setting for Custom mode 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.
