Let us begin by saying that the Gocycle GXi is one of the most advanced e-bikes that money can buy. It’s exactly what you’d expect from Gocycle, a company founded by a former design engineer for McLaren cars.
The new Gocycle GXi marries the performance of the company’s flagship G3 model with the 10-second-folding capabilities of the GX model. As such, all of the things we loved about the GX — attention to design and suitability for long or last-mile commutes — carry over to the GXi as well. With the setup GXi in US mode, allowing you to access 500W of power and a max speed of 20 mph.
