Daytime Running Light (DRL) Modes

This article covers: different modes for the DRL, enable flashing DRL modes, selecting default DRL mode, disable/enable DRL

DRL Modes

The Daytime Running Light (DRL) has 4 different modes.  Each mode is indicated by up to 4 blue LEDs on the dash. Modes are selected by rotating the left twist switch away from you.

The DRL will turn on automatically to the default mode when the Gocycle starts moving. When the Gocycle has been stationary for 60 seconds the DRL will turn off. 

To turn the DRL on and off manually, rotate the left twist switch away from you for approximately 5 seconds.

Gocycles with a DRL are delivered from the factory with the flashing modes 2 and 4 disabled, as some countries do not allow flashing cycle lights.  We recommend that you consult the regulations for your country or region.

Mode 1: Low Beam Static

This mode is shown as 1 blue LED on the dashboard. This mode has a solid light and is recommended for use in low light or night time riding conditions.

Mode 2: Low Beam Flashing

This mode is shown as 2 blue LEDs on the dashboard. This mode has a solid light complemented by a flashing strobe effect. It is recommended for use in low light or night time riding conditions and is based on rider preference.

Mode 3: High Beam Solid

This mode is shown as 3 blue LEDs on the dashboard and has a solid light brighter then Mode 1 and Mode 2 and is only recommended for use during daylight riding conditions.

Mode 4: High Beam Flashing

This mode is shown as 4 blue LEDs on the dashboard. This mode has a solid light with the brightness of Mode 3 complemented by a flashing strobe effect. It is only recommended for use during daylight riding conditions and is based on rider preference. Note: some countries do not allow flashing cycle lights.  We recommend that you consult the relevant national safety organization or a reputable cycle dealer on what the minimum recommended lighting requirements are in your particular country or region.

 

Enabling Flashing Modes on G3/GXi Gocycles - Gocycle Mode 18

To enable the DRL flashing modes 2 and 4, you must enter mode 18 on the Gocycle:

1. Rotate both twist switches down towards you for 15 seconds
2. Once all dash LEDs are flashing, release the switches
3. Rotate the right twist switch “wrist down” repeatedly until 18 LEDs are shown on the dash
4. Rotate and hold the left twist switch “wrist down” for 5 seconds to select mode 18
5. Rotate the right twist switch “wrist down” repeatedly until 6 LEDs are shown
6. Rotate and hold the left twist switch “wrist down” for 5 seconds until the 6 LEDs are flashing

*To disable flashing modes, repeat the above steps but at step 5, select 7 LEDs instead of 6

Setting the DRL Default Running Mode for G3/GXi Gocycles

Every time the DRL starts up, it will start in a specific mode. You can select this mode by following the steps above, but selecting 1, 2, 3 or 4 LEDs instead at step 5.

You can also choose to disable the DRL from turning on automatically. To do this, follow the steps above, but select 5 LEDs instead at step 5.
