GoCycle electric bike test

[fairyheli2]

but i can go faster pedalling easily

[05Rudey]

I like it and i love the way it looks, but i'd prefer more than 3 gears, last time i only had 3 gears was when i had a raleigh chopper.

I enjoy Camper vanning and this would be the ideal bike to bring along.

3 gears - ratios would be a bit far apart - for me

They should offer to shift the gear ratios higher - to bias normal cycling

Save just one low gear for - the hill of doom

[beavy69]

There must be a better compromise between a standard light weight hybrid bike and a full electric that can take you 20+ miles with no pedaling!

[riyaxo]

its a shame the gadget inspector didnt talk much about the positive results to the environment because of this innovation. 

[sollysolman]

London is flat!

[mesmerizeme]

2 MILES ON RED BUTTON FUCK THAT WASTE OF TIME

[MTBiker152]

I can bike faster

[TheAegisClaw]

London hilly? Have you never been to any other parts of the country then?

[Guitarnoob99]

i would buy it, but not for such a price...just because it's new and " green " i would not pay so much for me it should cost about 250 pounds max thats how much i would pay at the best, because just because you can disasemble it and 0% CO2 i wouldnt pay so much keeping in mind i can buy a scooter or a used car with is better for me as a user, so i think the price is overbord of what it should be.

[zafeamoon]

I’ve got a electric scooter but i want a electric bike . gocycles look nice but the price is ridiculous the people who sell them r having a laugh if get a electric bike I’m goner buy a conversion kit and pay someone to fit it for me . loool that will probably only amount to 230 quid . anyone who wants a electric bike should consider a conversion kit before buying a gocylce but I have to admit this looks good

[YooBurp]

I get a fine ride with very little exercise everynight from my g/f.

[Pat4rick2]

lol

[georgpendl]

i have bought a gocycle in july 2010, after 3 weeks appeared a noise in the transmission system, together with a resistance when pedaling, backwards as frontwards. gocycle promised to send an origianl packing-box and to pick the bike up. the box has arrived and the bike is waiting for pick-up since 3 weeks, gocycle doesnt react to any mail.

gocycle apparently knows about the problem, seems not to be new to them

full email correspondence available.

so can you jailbreak it.

[13vafanculo]

goshito

[rudeydudey05]

I want one, stick it in my campervan.

[vietprodigy91]

fuck the adverts

[OghamTheBold]

16.2 kg - would appear a respectable weight - why don't they quote it ?

( I'm stupid - forgot the new crazy advertising genius of not mentioning any unique selling point )

They must have skimped on the battery then - is it 4 x AAA or a straight V8 (i.e. 8 x AAA)

But when you consider £1,000 is the new £100 - it's a bargain

To be fair - in my list (of mostly horrible electric bikes) - I'd put it over middle for the weight

[OghamTheBold]

Futuristic patented chain guard - i.e. dead weight - just like my Grandad's old bike

I see - it's for Londoners - that explains a lot

No weight info on website. Nice and simple design - so the Chinese can build them

[Turntill]

@OghamTheBold weight: 16.2kg

[ActionJaxon666]

I want one, but it needs to be cheaper £1100? It's £1400+ on the GoCycle site...

[harrystone632]

top speed?

[mikeyn]

ever thought of a helmet,you helmet. irresponsible broadcasting tut tut.

[mightymike60]

Would suit a gay man perhaps. Anyone else (including myself) should walk.

[koko56]

I might be overlooking something, but electric bikes seem a bit of an odd idea to me.

[PorscheLover87]

Running is more dignified.

[Omnomfischesuppe]

It isn't when you need to work. Stinking of sweat. :\

[PorscheLover87]

lol

[Tusker1970]

The Atom is arguably the most accomplished sports car in the world, but it's impossible to drive one and not look like an absolute c*nt.

[mightymike60]

@Tusker1970 you seem have experience in cuntlookalikeness.

[koko56]

How can any sane person compare a car to a bike in this way?

[skerrie2]

I got one... thing f&*k*ng rocks...put it in US mode (or chip tune it) and you'll easily reach 25 mph...

[BanGovernment]

What's the battery voltage?

[mightymike60]

makes the gay man look even gayer

[BanGovernment]

Takes a gay man to know a gay man.

[mightymike60]

@BanGovernment so you're a gay man as well as the guy in the vid...thanks for telling us.

[yellodeere]

Like to see it go up a long hill!!

[mickenoss]

"fast" ...yeah right, electric bikes are limited by law to 15mph or you need a licence.

Price seems about right for what you get though.

[UnicycleFilms]

actually, you need a license for any vehicle that is capable of going over 50 mph

[mickenoss]

Not in the UK unfortunately, anything over 15mph is classed as a powered vehicle and needs a licence. Shame really.

[JUKIO01]

@mickenoss screw the law!

[zafeamoon]

@mickenoss u can get a petrol bike which is cheap and electric bikes u can get a really fast onvertion kit and the police wont be bothered this is expensive

[07nevivarg]

1000 pounds u are joking me!

[Cyberwwwizard]

07nevivarg - it's very expensive to purchase but offset the cost saved by not using a car or pubic transport, it'll save you thousands a year. Also, there's no certainty of sales volume but if it takes off then of course by economies of scale, the price will reduce.

[MmoInfo]

can you take it off some sweet jumps? rofl

[NoOBSLAY3R89]

wat fat ass would need one also makes u look like a jackass

[DashTube1]

Too expensive though

[DashTube1]

they look great
