In the event that you enter Power Save mode, the motor will operate at a reduced power only when
the red power button is pressed and the pedals are turning. If the pedals cease to turn, or the red
power button is released, the motor will stop.
If you continue to ride in Power Save mode, the battery charge level will continue to decrease. When
there are no battery charge level LEDs displayed in section C, the motor will not operate. Electronic
gear shifting will continue to operate.
WARNING! If you have ridden your Gocycle at a low voltage, in
Power Save
mode, charge your
battery within 12 hours. Failure to do so may result in permanent damage to your battery and will
void your warranty.

Energy Consumption Meter
The energy consumption meter is available in all riding modes. Whilst riding and when the motor is
in operation, the consumption of the battery is interactively displayed in place of the battery charge
level (section C of your dashboard display).
More consumption Less consumption
(Least efficient) (Most efficient)
The higher the number of LEDs displayed, the more power is being used by the motor and the faster
your battery will drain. To maximise efficiency and reduce the amount of power that your motor is
consuming, increase your pedal input.
When the motor is not in use, or if you are pedalling above the motor speed, the dashboard display
will default to battery charge level.

Maximising Your Gocycle’s Motor Performance and Reliability
Gocycle’s electric motor is designed to boost performance in terms of getting you from point A to
point B more quickly and with less effort. It is not designed for the motor power to be the sole means
of propulsion.
As with a car, top speed and range (related to fuel consumption) are difficult to define as both factors
are greatly affected by a large number of variables. For the Gocycle, this is including but not limited
to rider weight (including clothing and luggage), tyre type, tyre pressure, terrain, surface texture,
wind conditions and of course, how much pedal input the rider is providing.
The recipe is simple. Continual use of the motor assistance whilst riding and/or selecting a mode with
a higher top speed will have a negative effect on the range of your battery. Using the motor assistance
sparingly with maximum rider pedal input will ensure the best possible range.
To get the best out of your Gocycle, read carefully the following points:
