10.7 Riding Modes
You can operate your Gocycle in different pre-set modes or generate a custom mode to suit your
personal riding style with the GocycleConnect app.
10.7.1 Riding Modes Reference Table
10.7.2 Selecting a Riding Mode
Refer to the table in 6.3.1 Riding Modes Reference Table.
By using the GocycleConnect app you can operate your Gocycle in different modes to suit your
personal riding style. The motor assistance will start and stop at different speeds—you can control
this by either pressing the boost button or rider pedal input, or a combination of both. See below for
more information.
WARNING! Do not attempt to change a riding mode whilst in motion. Attempting to
change the mode whilst riding will severely impair rider concentration and will dramatically
increase the chance of an accident, which may result in injury to the rider or even death.
10.7.2.1 City Mode
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 boost button.
Above the maximum motor speed, the motor will stop. There is no need to press and hold the boost
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.
