Gocycle G4i – The Ultimate Urban E-Bike
The Gocycle G4i is a cutting-edge urban electric bike designed for modern riders who demand performance, style, and convenience. This premium model blends advanced technology, high-quality materials, and Gocycle’s innovative engineering to deliver an unmatched riding experience. Whether commuting, exploring the city, or simply enjoying a leisurely ride, the G4i sets a new standard for urban e-bikes. Here is a deep dive into the features and specifications that make the Gocycle G4i a standout performer.
Frame: Advanced Engineering for Lightweight Performance
The G4i features an innovative hydro-formed 6061 T6 aluminum front frame, a carbon fibre mid-frame, and an injection-moulded magnesium Cleandrive. Each of these materials has been carefully selected and engineered to serve a distinct purpose:
- The hydro-formed aluminum front frame provides a strong yet lightweight base, enhancing overall bike stability while keeping the weight down.
- The carbon fibre mid-frame connects the front frame with the Cleandrive, providing a strong, lightweight central structure that optimizes rigidity and handling precision.
- The injection-molded magnesium Cleandrive keeps the drivetrain enclosed and protected, ensuring a smooth, clean, and low-maintenance ride.
Together, these components create a robust yet lightweight chassis that forms the backbone of the G4i, delivering a nimble and responsive feel perfect for urban environments.
Motor: G4drive™ Technology for Effortless Power
The G4i is powered by Gocycle’s proprietary G4drive™ electric motor, offering up to 500W of power (US version) and 250W (EU version) with continuous traction control. This front hub motor is engineered to deliver smooth, quiet, and efficient power, allowing riders to tackle city streets effortlessly. Key features include:
- Torque Sensing Pedal Assist: The motor’s torque-sensing technology provides a seamless and intuitive boost, responding to the rider’s pedalling force to deliver the perfect amount of power.
- Class-Leading Compact Design: The compact motor design enhances aesthetics and contributes to the bike’s agile handling.
- Top Assisted Speed: The motor supports speeds of up to 20 mph (32 km/h) in North America and 16 mph (25 km/h) in the EU, making it suitable for rapid city commuting.
The G4drive™ has undergone extensive testing at Gocycle’s research facility, ensuring reliability and high performance for daily use.
Battery: Integrated and Removable for Convenience
The G4i’s power source is a quick-removable 10.4Ah, 36V lithium-ion battery integrated into the frame for a sleek and seamless appearance. With approximately 375Wh capacity, it delivers an impressive range of up to 80 km (50 miles) depending on pedal input. The battery’s placement within the hydroformed frame maintains balance and improves handling. Additional features include:
- 3.5-Hour Fast Charging: The battery charges rapidly using Gocycle’s new 4A 36V charger, allowing riders to top up and get back on the road quickly.
- Easy Removal: The battery's removable design makes it convenient for riders to take it indoors for charging or security, ensuring flexibility and peace of mind.
This setup offers practicality for urban commuters, ensuring riders always have the range and power they need for their journeys.
Folding Mechanism: Compact and Portable Design
The G4i boasts an intuitive fast-folding mechanism that allows the bike to be folded into a compact package in 10 seconds. This feature enhances the bike’s portability and versatility, making it ideal for city living. Once folded, the G4i can be rolled along on its wheels, making it easy to maneuver and stow in tight spaces like apartments, offices, or car trunks.
With its quick folding handlebar stem and height adjustment, the G4i adapts to various rider preferences while ensuring maximum portability.
Suspension and Comfort: Smooth Riding Experience
The G4i is designed for optimal comfort with its:
- Gocycle Lockshock Rear Suspension: This suspension provides 25mm of travel to absorb bumps and ensure a smooth ride across urban surfaces.
- Single-Sided Carbon Fiber Front Fork: This proprietary fork enhances the bike’s aesthetics with its clean and flowing lines. It also offers improved vertical compliance for added comfort while maintaining lateral stiffness for precise steering.
- MotoGP-Inspired Tires: The silica-infused compound in the Gocycle tires offers superior grip and traction, ensuring stability and a smooth ride even on challenging city streets.
These features work harmoniously to offer a comfortable, sure-footed riding experience, making the G4i perfect for navigating busy urban environments.
Transmission and Shifting: Advanced Cleandrive® System.
Gocycle’s patented Cleandrive® system ensures that the G4i’s drivetrain remains enclosed, clean, and protected. This technology is combined with:
- Shimano Nexus 3-Speed Transmission: This transmission offers a wide range of gears for versatile performance, whether navigating flat city roads or climbing inclines.
- Electronic Predictive Shifting: The G4i’s predictive shifting technology anticipates the rider’s next gear, providing smooth transitions and reducing the need for manual input. This system ensures efficiency and an intuitive riding experience.
With the Cleandrive® system, riders enjoy a clean and efficient drivetrain with minimal maintenance, ideal for urban commuting.
Technology: GocycleConnect® App and Smart Device Integration
The G4i features the GocycleConnect® App, enhancing the riding experience through smart device integration:
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Low-energy Bluetooth technology offers improved connectivity with smart devices, providing a seamless link between the bike and the rider’s smartphone.
- Customizable Riding Modes: Riders can select from multiple riding modes—city, eco, On-Demand, and Custom—to tailor the ride to their preferences and conditions.
- Integrated Dashboard Display: The G4i’s handlebar display provides real-time information, such as speed, battery level, and gear position. The dashboard can also be synchronized with a smartphone for additional stats like calories burned, pedal power, and efficiency.
These features allow riders to personalize their ride settings and monitor performance, making the G4i an interactive and engaging e-bike.
