Gocycle
The charger
The Gocycle is an electric bicycle manufactured by Karbon Kinetics Limited, a company founded in 2002 by Richard Thorpe.[1] Thorpe is an industrial designer who once worked at the racing car company McLaren.[2] The Gocycle has interchangeable quick release wheels,[3] a fully enclosed chain, gearing and cabling,[3] moulded magnesium structure and a flat pack storage and transport system, in which the bicycle folds up and can be carried in a case.[4] The electric motor is powered by a rechargeable battery.[4]
The original version, now known as the G1, was discontinued in 2011.[5] A G2 model was introduced to mainland Europe in 2012.
