New GoCycle GX e-bike: folds in 10 seconds, best chronograph
Ten years after launching its first model in Europe (voted best electric bike at Eurobike 2009), GoCycle is launching the next generation of the GX, an e-bike designed for everyday urban commuting. The ultra-ingenious process allows it to fold completely in 10 seconds.
A truly foldable bike
The design of the new GX is no different from other GoCycle bikes. Sporty look with hydroformed aluminum frame, sleek cockpit with simple LED display, mechanical derailleur with 3-speed rotating handle: this electric bike is too simple for its price, which starts at € 3.199 anyway.
The GX really excels when it comes to folding. This one is much simpler than most of the competition: just four steps to carry your bike on public transport and easily store it in the office or at home. Ten seconds seems to be enough!
7 hours charging on a 65 km range
« Ergonomic, elegant, lightweight, original and fun. This is how the GoCycle brand talks about their electric bikes. Lightweight, we can attest: the GX weighs 17,4kg without the stand. Ergonomic, sure, but there's a price to pay: the base model doesn't have daytime running lights with the Light Pipe design incorporated into the handlebar and its battery (removable) of about 300Wh (22V - 13.7Ah). ) charges in 7 hours with a maximum range of 65 kilometers.
To improve these characteristics, we can target the top model GoCycle GXi, which costs 1 € more. Rechargeable in 000 hours and able to travel 4 km, it leaves no visible cables, its steering wheel is height adjustable, you shift gears with electronic anticipatory downshift and you can use daytime running lights.
Smart e-bike
Like all of its competitors, GoCycle has developed a dedicated free app that allows you to connect to your car via Bluetooth and display information: battery level, speed, driving mode, calorie burner, etc. This allows you to offset small costs. information visible in the cockpit and personalization of the experience. So the GoCycle GX and its deluxe version of the GXi seem like good electric bikes, very practical in the city.
