Now that's a cool bikeNot sure myself, I think the A2B Metro will win over the 'more money than sense' bunch.
Yes, the GoCycle is described as dismountable, not foldable, as you say, style over substance. The Step Combo was a far better design effort and years before too.I've recently realised it resembles the 2001 Honda Step Compo we used to sell but with reportedly less range and hill climbing ability than the plucky little Honda effort. And why doesn't it fold properly? As far as I can gather, it has to be separated into two parts, am I right?
We've sold a Kalkhoff to one customer we know off who had bought a Gocycle and sent it back because it was no good on the local hills.
I will answer my own questionDave, out of interest, how much does it weigh.

I got stuck behind a GoCycle a couple of weeks ago in the city, it had a large piece of black material round the downtube which looked odd. It was designed to be there but doesn't feature on any of the publicity photos, kind of spoils the iPod look. I saw that the slightest bit of dirt spoils the look too. Unfortunately he turned off so I didn't get to follow him and find out how well it rides.A2B

My mistake the cocycle isn't too heavy, but still seems a bit weedy.
I haven't seen anyone in london riding these or any electric bikes. I always keep an eye open just incase.
That's what made me think of getting an ebike, I'd never seen any other ebike on the road so didn't have a clue if they existed.It's also reminiscent of the Raleigh Vektar which was an electric bike of sorts
They wouldn't let me ride one at the Cycle show, they said I was too fat and a wheel may fall off.... which would be bad for publicity!A2B
