What is GoCycle Bikes?
- Folding electric bikes are one of the most useful niches in the industry, helping commuters get to work or school quickly without taking as much space as a traditionally large bicycle.
- GoCycle has always been at the top of the list when it comes to premium electric folding bikes, but the GoCycle G4i+ is now pushing the brand even further with a pile of fancy new features.
- First and foremost though, you’ve got to love the beautiful carbon work on this bike.
- The GoCycle G4i+’s carbon monocoque mid-frame is a thing to behold.
- But then check out how the carbon fiber continues through the single-sided front fork.
- And it doesn’t even stop there.
- The fancy PitStop wheels are all carbon too it’s just a work of art.
- The fanciest folding electric bike in the world is GoCycle and it costs $6,999

=>What is Premium in GoCycle have?
- Those carbon wheels don’t just look good, they also hide away a secret motor (or at least the front wheel does).
- The new G4Drive motor puts out 500 watts of power in the US, though it is limited to 250 watts in Europe.
- The quiet motor is so compact that you wouldn’t know it was there if you didn’t know to look for it.
- Most e-bike hub motors stick out like a sore thumb, but the unique design of GoCycle’s proprietary drive causes it to disappear into the rest of the wheel.
- There’s not even a single wire to be seen anywhere on the bike.
- The motor provides more torque and better startup power than previous versions of the bike, making the GoCycle G4i+ even more suited for hilly areas.
- Also suited for hills is the three-speed internally geared drivetrain in the rear.
- It transfers power through GoCycle’s proprietary CleanDrive setup that hides away the chain in a completely sealed magnesium single-sided swingarm.
- The folding isn’t quite as fast as the electronic shifting, but it’s still very fast at just a few seconds.
- And the bike even rolls nicely while folded, so you don’t have to pick it up and carry it.
- The 37 lb (16.9 kg) is lightweight compared to other folding e-bikes, but rolling is even lighter than lifting.
- When you’re done rolling and ready to ride, the torque-sensor makes for an ultra-responsive pedal assist experience.
- Simply step on the pedal and you feel the power applied quickly and intuitively all the way up to the top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h).
- A 375 Wh removable battery gives a stated range of up to 50 miles (80 km), though you’ll get a bit less if you keep it in more powerful pedal assist levels most of the time, or if you rely heavily on the throttle/boost switch on the left end of the bars.
- The GoCycle G4i+ includes daytime running lights, punchy hydraulic disc brakes and what the company describes as an “F1-inspired cockpit,” which basically means there is a pile of blinking LED lights where a traditional display would rest on the handlebars.
