How often should I charge the battery?

You can view full details of the best practices for battery charging in the Gocycle Owner’s Manual. We recommend charging your Gocycle after a ride and, once charged, unplugging the Gocycle from the charger and turning off the Gocycle to conserve battery power. It is NOT recommended to leave your Gocycle on charge for more than 24 hours.

How do you know how much charge is left in the battery?

For Gocycles with a handlebar dash display, this will indicate the charge level of the battery. You can also see the battery charge level in the GocycleConnect App. If the battery is out of the frame, you can check the battery charge level using the button on the end of the battery:

GX, GXi, G4 and G4i

• Turn on the battery as normal
• Tap the button on the end of the battery
• The 4 LEDs will light up, indicating the charge status - 4 LEDs = full charge

GS

Press the button on the rear of the Gocycle above the charger port. There are 4 LEDs above the button. Each LED represents 25% of the charge state. for example, 3 LEDs represents 75% charge. 

Do you need to remove the battery from the frame to charge it?

GX, GXi, G4 and G4i

The battery can be charged either in the frame or it can be removed and can be charged away from the frame. 

G2, G3 (all models), GS

No, It is not necessary to remove the Gocycle lithium ion battery for charging. We do not recommend removing the Gocycle lithium ion battery from the frame, unless with assistance from your dealer or if instructed by Gocycle Technical Support.

How much will the Gocycle cost to charge?

The charging cost of the battery is equal to having a 100-125W light bulb on for 3 hours.
