    Gocycle GS London Commuter review

    Thanks, I measured my wheel and seems OK. Also I tested with Strava on my phone and is aligned with my watch; hence is the accuracy of the bike speedometer. I would be interested if other Gocycle owners have the same issue. In a normal bike it would not be a big problem but in an eBike the...

    I know but which of both is more accurate. I will also check with my mobile GPS.

    Gocycle GS London Commuter review

    My Gocycle is running smoothly after almost 500 miles. However I have noticed the speedometer shows about 1kmh higher than my Garmin watch. This impacts when the assistance shuts off. Have you also noticed this?

    No so far; actually I have seen only one ebike since started cycling to the office. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Gocycle GS London Commuter review

    First issue with the Gocycle, I had a puncture yesterday and the repair sealant did not work. Good thing about the Gocycle, I folded it and called an Uber :) However folding it with mudguards is not that easy. If this happens again soon I may consider to change the tyres with the puncture...

    That is also the only change I would make it. Although I notice this closer to 30kmh then it gets difficult to go faster. Regarding the paneer, is it waterproof? I am thinking on getting one. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Gocycle GS London Commuter review

    The discount was a bit of good luck. I bought it online and the shop had the commuter pack (bike + lights + mudguards) for the price of the bike. In Addition the site had a 10% discount coupon for some bikes but by mistake they left that opened for all bikes. Luckily the onoured the price I...

    Gocycle GS London Commuter review

    Nice review! I have an G3 and it the GS was available a few month ago I may have to have gone for this one. Even when I got a good discount in the G3 there is a good price difference. At what average speed do you ride and in what mode? I also love not having to have a shower although...

    Ebike insurance

    I had same issue, having just renewed my home insurance. I went with Velosure, paying 225 per year and same bike price (3.5k). It has some benefits on top of what a home insurance will cover. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Gocycle GS review

    Just came back from work (~10 miles) under the rain and all good. Not extremely heavy rain but significant. I would assume until you do not ride under torrential rain for a few hours it should be OK. I guess the same with most ebikes. In any case I would not ride in such whether. Sent from my...

    London cyclist tempted to join the fold - Gocycle GS?

    Congratulations and glad you are enjoying it. Regarding the max assistance speed, you can upgrade the firmware to another region and get 20mph. Just run the configuration from the app and you will be asked what firmware to use. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    London cyclist tempted to join the fold - Gocycle GS?

    I have bought a G3 recently (with a nice discount). Considering it's weight (6k less than average ebike), automatic gears, portability, ride & dynamics, app integration, range etc. is not a bad value proposition at all. Many ebikes in the 3k price range do not offer many of these advantages...
