Gocycle
Gocycle is an electric bicycle manufactured by Karbon Kinetics Limited, a company founded in 2002 by Richard Thorpe, an industrial designer who once worked at the racing car company McLaren. The Gocycle has interchangeable quick release wheels, a fully enclosed chain, gearing and cabling, a molded magnesium frame and wheels and a flat pack storage and transport system, in which the bicycle folds up and can be carried in a case. The electric motor is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. In 2009, after substantial development, the business launched the Gocycle G1, the first of its models. The G1 benefitted from Richard’s expertise in a 25-year career working in the motorsports and light electric vehicle industry. The Gocycle G2 entered the market in 2012. It was followed by the Gocycle G3 in 2016, which debuted an automotive-inspired Daytime Running Light (DRL) and the Gocycle GS in 2017. At the start of 2019, the business debuted its new fast-folding Gocycle GX model, which is capable of being folded and stowed. The fast-folding Gocycle GXi followed later in 2019. In 2021, the company introduced Generation Four (G4) Gocycle models: G4, G4i & G4i+. Products
