Eco mode operates in the same manner as City mode, but the rider must pedal harder to gain
assistance. Use this mode if you wish to conserve your battery and increase your range.
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.

10.7.2.3 On Demand Mode
In On Demand mode, the rider can choose whether or not to have motor assistance. Select this mode
if you wish to ride the Gocycle without motor assistance—and have assistance when required by
pressing the boost button.
In On Demand mode, within the motor operating speed and whilst pedalling, press and hold the boost
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 boost button is released. When the
pedals cease to rotate or the boost 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 6.6 Maximizing Your Gocycle’s Motor
Performance and Reliability Error! Reference source not found. for more information as to how to
get the best out of your Gocycle.
