    The Electric Bike Effect

    Ride centrally when the road is narrow or car drivers will try to come past even when there's no room for them - they are not too bright.

    Gocycle GS London Commuter review

    It's just a shame the lock holster spoils the beautiful lines of the frame, but I have one, it's been essential.

    Gocycle GS London Commuter review

    Yes wind was a bit much today, I had to use the red button. Just got my Schwalbe Big Ben Tyres at last from Fully Charged - they were noticably heavier in my hand but the GoCycle still seemed as fast as before. The guy at Fully Charged said that GoCycle are not making the G3 any more, which is...

    Gocycle GS London Commuter review

    The road vibrations managed to unscrew my rear mudguard and it was going to come off after a few rides, so make sure it's properly screwed on with an allen key, not just fingers.

    I saw a G3 in the summer apparently being commuted near Borough, only time ever.

    Gocycle GS London Commuter review

    Streatham to the City, 7.5 miles, sometimes Battersea. Saw some other pedelecs today - including a BMW and a very smart looking Stromer. One of my colleagues said she has a "Dutchy" with a conversion kit, I didn't see it though. I read more about the New York "war on ebikes", it's nothing to do...

    Gocycle GS London Commuter review

    Hi, 250 London miles on the odometer (saving around £100 on rail fares so far) and my rear tyre went flat. I've been waiting 3 weeks for fullycharged.com to supply Schwalbe Big Ben puncture resistant tyres and they apparently haven't been able to get them yet. When I took out the inner tube I...

    Gocycle GS London Commuter review

    Imprecise charging additional: I have the "fast charger" (4.5 hours total charge time) and it is supposed to cut out when the bike is fully charged (over-charging is bad for the battery) but having tested the auto-cut out I wasn't convinced it was working, however, last night it did actually...

    Gocycle GS London Commuter review

    Hi, thanks! I tried the G3 and got a very good feeling from it, so there is for me a bit more of a sense of luxury (and maybe build quality) to it, although I wonder if my particular GS could use some fine tuning. But the G3 is more desirable and I considered upgrading to it (how did you get a...

    Gocycle GS London Commuter review

    I'm really enjoying riding my gocycle GS to work every day, I can't wait to get on it in the morning or evening, riding it is just a fantastic feeling. The lights are really good and bright, the range is good, riding up the hills is great! I can ride 7.5 miles into central London just wearing...

    Gocycle GS review

    Yes or I'll sneak it onto the train. Even if one thing on your bike folds you can take it on the train as a "folding" bike, but I wouldn't do it if it was really busy. Just commuted to work - really good fun, I did 15 miles (round trip) in "city" mode and it says the battery is at 50% so the...

    Gocycle GS review

    I got one on the 19th October for commuting, my ride home from work (7.5 miles through South London) was really fast and comfortable, and I passed 90% of the other cyclists without breaking a sweat wearing a pair of trousers and a jumper. I agree that the front pannier is a fantastic piece of...
