Summary of the Gocycle G3 E-Bike Review

Hey folks, gather ‘round! Today, we’re diving into the world of electric bikes with the Gocycle G3, a masterpiece that’s caught my eye. I’m hanging out at Bush Terminal Park in Brooklyn, with Jonathan from Green Path Electric Bikes. He’s been in the e-bike game for over five years and he’s here to help us understand what makes the Gocycle G3 such a standout.

First off, a little history: Gocycle was founded by a former McLaren designer in 2002. Since then, they’ve been perfecting their e-bike models, leading us to the G3 we see today, launched around 2016-2017. This bike isn’t just a pretty face; it’s got marine-grade parts, stainless hardware, and an extruded magnesium frame. This means it’s lightweight, has the ride quality of carbon fiber, but with less environmental impact. Plus, it’s available in four colors – white, gray, black, and a new electric blue.

One of the coolest features is the Gocycle’s light tube headlight, which acts as a daytime running light, a requirement in the EU that’s catching on elsewhere. This bike also has reflective sidewall stripes and a futuristic display that gives off major sci-fi vibes. The Gocycle G3 comes with a unique app that lets you adjust various settings, including its throttle, which only works when you’re pedaling, perfect for those class 1 pedal-assist zones.

When it comes to riding, this bike’s automatic shifting is a game-changer. It adjusts gears based on your speed, though you can manually shift if you prefer. The G3’s internal hub is whisper-quiet, making for a smooth ride whether you’re coasting through the city or taking it easy in the park.

Now, let’s talk about those 20-inch wheels. They’re designed for efficiency and comfort, giving you a stable ride without the grease and grime typical of bike chains, thanks to Gocycle’s clean drive system. The bike is foldable too, making it perfect for urban living – you can easily tuck it away when not in use.

The Gocycle G3 doesn’t skimp on accessories either. You can get fenders, upgraded lights, and even a docking station that makes transporting the folded bike a breeze. The touch points, like ergonomic grips and an adjustable stem, ensure that riders of various heights (from 5’2” to 6’4”) can find their sweet spot. And at just around 36 pounds, it’s light enough to carry around when folded.

This e-bike is not just about looks and comfort; it’s built for performance with a motor that ranges between 250 and 500 watts, depending on regional regulations. In the U.S., you can hit speeds of up to 20 mph. The 25% larger battery now boasts nearly 300 watt-hours, using high-quality Panasonic cells for longevity and efficiency.

Priced at $4,499, the Gocycle G3 is on the higher end, but for good reason. You’re investing in a top-tier, highly customizable e-bike with a premium warranty. It’s a clear winner for anyone serious about their e-biking experience. So, if you’re looking for a sleek, high-performance, and versatile e-bike, the Gocycle G3 is worth every penny.
