Gocycle Diagnosis Modes
If an issue arises with your Gocycle electric bike, built-in diagnosis modes can assist in identifying the problem. These are pre-programmed modes that can check the health of the bike sensors, motor, and servo calibration. Connect to the Gocycle app and navigate to “Diagnostics” to perform the checks.
- Sensor Check: Rotate the rear wheel forward, then rotate the cranks backward. Squeeze both brake levers and stand on the left pedal. Press the left switch to activate the throttle a few times, then shift up and down the gears while pedalling.
- Motor Test: Press the 'Start' button and lift the Gocycle so that the front wheel is off the ground. Hold the boost button to start the motor test. Apply the front brake gently to load the motor— the motor shouldn’t stop under gentle braking. Press 'Stop' to exit Motor Test Mode.
- Servo Calibration: Gently hold the rear brake so there is some resistance on the rear wheel, then pedal forward so that the rear wheel rotates. Continue pedalling until you hear the chime— if the bike beeps three times, try again.
