Award winning Gocycle® electric bicycle showing strong sales in the luxury marine market
The lightest-in-class (16kg) electric and portable Gocycle has been developed with a no compromise approach to design by former McLaren Cars engineer Richard Thorpe.
Gocycle is stowable and packs away perfectly for transit or storage where space is tight making it ideal for super yachts and pleasure boats. Designed with a low center of gravity, the bike is agile and responsive to ride, and easy to lift and manoeuvre on board.
“Boat owners are used to having folding bikes onboard, but historically, the choice has been limited to cheap, door hinge folding frame type bikes. These products really don''t match the quality, style, and performance of modern pleasure boats and super yachts. Now there is a choice. Not only is Gocycle packed with high tech F1 technology, it''s electric – and portable. No other e-bike has the versatile dynamics of Gocycle,” says Richard Thorpe, Gocycle''s designer.
Craig Nairn Gocycle''s Sales Director added, “Our marine customer base is definitely growing and Gocycle is establishing itself as the premium lightweight and portable electric bicycle for boat owners. If you want to see more of the port or town and have more fun, Gocycle''s cool looks and clean powerful electric drive will enable you to do just that. Nairn adds, “Gocycle is sold through a variety of retail channels: aircraft, cycle, motorcycle, automotive, and marine. We currently have a strong commercial package with good margins from the USD 4,999 (Euro 3,499) for new marine resellers and we welcome new dealer enquiries.”
Gocycle''s streamlined chassis and interchangeable PitstopWheels® make cleaning Gocycle fast and easy. A bespoke micro-electric motor powers the front wheel and pedals power the back to deliver balanced two wheel drive.
Gocycle''s VgonomicTM designed seat-post and frame geometry offers an automotive inspired adjustable driving position that can fit every rider. Cars come in one size with an adjustable position and so does Gocycle.
The absence of cables, chains, gears and sprockets make Gocycle a clean and easy to live with transport solution for casual morning to cocktail hour rides.
They say you can''t re-invent the wheel or improve the design of the bicycle. Gocycle did both. An automotive joy to live with; ergonomic, elegant, lightweight, ingenious and fun. A talking point wherever it goes!
Gocycle comes in a concise palette of monochromes enhancing its clean lines whilst complementing yachting shapes, landscapes and backdrops. Available colours are So White, Gunmetal Grey and Stealth Black – with the white option giving out a positively nautical vibe.
