G4 and G4i Lights
The front and rear light for the Gocycle G4 and G4i of bikes automatically switch on when the bike detects the rear wheel moving. They will automatically switch off after 60 seconds of no detected movement.
On the G4i, if the DRL is off then the front and rear lights are also off.
On the G4 the front and rear lights are always on.
G4i and G4i+ DRL
On the G4i and G4i+ the settings can be changed using the GocycleConnect app with the steps below -
- In the GocycleConnect app, connect to your Gocycle and press the settings icon in the top right corner.
- Set the Default DRL Mode to one of the four 'ON' modes or to "OFF"
- When the default DRL mode is on the lights and DRL will switch on when the bike detects it is moving.
- When the default DRL mode is off, the lights will only switch on if you use the left twist switch to turn the DRL on.
The lights can also be switched on and off from the Live Dash screen of the app on G4i and G4i+ Gocycles.
Please see the article Daytime Running Light (DRL) Modes for more information about your DRL.

Is there any way to switch the ligth on the G4 off when using the bike at bright sonny day´s. I don´t want the light to drain the battery unnecessary.
Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your comment. At this time the lights are always on for the Gocycle G4 when it is moving.
Having the lights on will not affect the range of the Gocycle.
Hallo Tom,
how is this working?! The light is using the energy from the battery!
I just had a look. The front light has a power consumption of 4,8W. The back light has a power consumption of 0,5W. Together that makes 5,3W.
If I make a day tour where I ride the bike for 12hours the light will consume 63Wh. That is 20% of the total battery capacity!
What makes it so difficult to provide a on/off function via the Gocycle App? I beg you. Please have an update of the Gocycle App.
With my last Gocycle GXI I could at least switch the light on/of at the front light itself.
I wish you a nice Day. Greetings from Hamburg Thomas
Can you please integrate a switch ON/OFF function at least in the APP for the G4.
Question: Is it possible by the registration process (register the G4 as a G4i)
to get this functionality?
