Interesting review - when I purchased my Gocycle GS three years ago I seem to remember being recommended Big Bens for puncture resistance. That guidance has now changed as I understand wire beaded tyres can cause the wheel to crack so I would recommend using the Gocycle tyres - especially as...

Congratulations on the Gocycle! I’ve had mine - a GS - for just over three years and it’s been wonderful. I’ve noticed a few more “out and about” recently and they all seem to be the fast folding GXs. I use mine all year round - its geometry and those fat tyres really inspire confidence in...

Well these could be quite the game changer and raise awarenesss of ebikes... https://www.boardmanbikes.com/gb_en/bikes/e-bikes/ I think they look fantastic, and the ability to use it as a "regular" bike is intriguing... I must confess I have barely touched my CX since buying my Gocycle and am...

Slight thread bump but see I Gocycle have now introduced a fast folding model which will alleviate the security concerns I noted above... https://gocycle.com/models/gocycle-gx Looks ingenious especially if they've managed to retain the "solid" feeling of the GS A comparison review of this...

I've had mine since November and use it pretty much every day. Still delighted with it but there are a few things I would point out: The top gear is a little low for my taste so I am spinning a little faster than I would like when maintaining a speed over 15mph. It can attract attention and I...

Gents - hope you're enjoying your Gocycles in this wonderful weather. I was fine commuting through the winter - though I simply don't bother riding if it's raining, but it coped just fine with the snow - those Big Bens and 2WD gave me great confidence. Really enjoyed it actually as the roads...

Thanks for the tip about the rear mudguard. All nice and secure now. I don't bother with the app so afraid I can't help with the speedo. Bit blustery today - to say the least - and the sort of day I would have bussed into work rather than used my CX. The strong headwind was not an issue and...

Well my rear mudguard came yesterday with perfect timing given today's weather. Got to work and back in a lot less stressed state than I would have on my other bike. And attaching it was simplicity itself, and testament to the thought that has gone into this bike. As noted earlier I think the...

Have you seen another Gocycle in the wild yet? I'm still waiting...

Other end - Hounslow to Heathrow area. Not generally noted for its quality cycling infrastructure - unless a painted bike in the gutter of some pretty hairy roads counts. Considering the number of Heathrow workers that live within a very easy cycling distance of the airport, the facilities round...

Right so it appears I am overdue a visit from the puncture fairy... :p I am still running the original tyres with a couple of spare inner tubes stuffed in my backpack. It can't take to swap out a tube with those pitstop wheels... Been lousy weather recently so my rear mudguard can't come soon...

I've been fortunate not to have been caught in the rain yet so I'm not sure. If looks good quality though and I'm sure if should cope with rain for the length of my commute. That aside it's a wonderful bit of kit - very easy to attach and demount, with some very handy external pockets for bottles.

Interesting to read others' views of this wonderful bike. I've now got a few weeks commuting under my belt and my experience mirrors the above pretty much. I wish the bike had a higher top gear - I do find myself spinning a bit too fast if I want to maintain a speed over 15.5 mph. But if the...

No I didn't/don't. In the wake of the Charlie Alliston judgement I think anyone involved in an incident using a "derestricted" bike is asking for the book to be thrown at them, regardless of who was at fault

Well I’ve had my Gocycle GS few days now - enough to be able to share my initial impressions Me - 50 year old bloke - live and work in outer London and have been cycling in London for 25 years (now I feel old!) for commuting and errands. Maybe 5% of my rides are just for pleasure, probably...

Hi yes I did see that, but in the wake of Charlie Alliston I think I'll keep my bike legal :)

Grey and black looks fine - I'm not sure I could carry off the white and pink though...! I think the current price of the GS at £2200 (not for much longer mind!) compares well to £1500 for the G1. This bike was Kickstarter funded - are you sure a hedge fund "got hold" of the company?

Well it arrived yesterday and I've just come back from a quick "test run"! I'll add a proper review in the reviews section at some point but until then... Assembly was very straightforward - it all slots together like Lego or Meccanno. The ride - small fat tyres and a low centre of gravity...

The example of mudguards is a good one. Considering the grief I've had getting mudguards to fit (and stay!) on my cyclocross, watching how to fit mudguards to the Gocycle was so simple - it all snaps together like Lego. The feedback from those who have actually ridden the G3 is overwhelmingly...

In what way is the Gocycle not "full sized"? It has the same wheelbase and geometry as a regular bike (with the advantages of smaller wheels and a step through frame).
