So passionate was Richard Thorpe about creating the perfect e-bike that he left a dream design job with McLaren Cars to dedicate all of his time to that purpose.
With his experience in designing lightweight racing car components and enthusiasm for innovative engineering excellence, Richard believed that an e-bike should be elegant, desirable, a joy to live with and fun.
Gocycle’s mission is simple: to create the world’s best urban electric bikes. This task began in 2002 when former McLaren Cars Limited design engineer Richard Thorpe established his own business, Karbon Kinetics, to embark upon creating his two-wheeled electric dream. Sixteen years on and that dream is a reality with Gocycle renowned the world over for its innovative products, no compromises approach, stylish designs and pioneering spirit.be a product, share announcements, or welcome customers to your store.
In 2009, after an extensive development process, the business launched the ground-breaking lightweight Gocycle G1 to international acclaim. The G1 capitalised on Richard’s expertise from a 25-year career working in the motorsports and light electric vehicle industry, becoming the first injection-moulded magnesium alloy bicycle in history. It set the foundations which have enabled Gocycle to continually push boundaries with each of its three new models.
The Gocycle G2 entered the market in 2012 becoming the first production electric bike to have Bluetooth connectivity. It was followed by the range-topping Gocycle G3 in 2016, which debuted an automotive inspired Daytime Running Light (DRL), yet another industry first. The Gocycle GS was introduced in 2017 and the all new fast-folding GX and GXi model in 2019. 2021 sees the arrival of the new G4 and G4i models, the most rider-focused folding e-bikes yet.
We create an atmosphere where you learn about bikes, and we learn about you. With that combination we can find the best possible fit for you and your needs.
Our goal is to provide advice whether you shop with us, or elsewhere. We just want to make sure you are well informed of all your options before making your decision.
Perhaps the MOST undervalued or unrealized factor in an electric bike purchase is that your will require after sale service! Imagine buying a car without any service agreements.
With your purchase we offer 1-YEAR COMPLIMENTARY warranty adjustments and tune-ups.
Why? Bicycle components do require steady maintenance to keep your ebike tuned and performing its best. You might not notice that an adjustment is necessary, but we do!
Learning more about your riding style through the first year will help us build a well understood service schedule, together.
Looking for a decent ebike that doesn’t break the bank? Try our certified pre-owned eBikes that are just as reliable and fun! These pre-owned e-bikes were well loved, thoroughly inspected and professionally refurbished by our certified ebike technicians to meet the most desirable condition possible.
