The Gocycle is definitely an icon. i bought it (second hand) as a collector item, but now i use it quiet often. As you can put it on 15,5 mph instead of 25kmh here in Euroland that's a real bonus! Mrsp is high but wait 'till you get to the servicing and spare parts... On 15,5 no way you'll get to 50miles, i'm saving to buy a new batt ! i hope the GXi model is a bit bigger. The new model tires with $pecial compound are really/maybe worth it

Range - all of these bikes have infinite range, you just keep pedalling. My point is that the only valid range statement from an e-bike manufacturer would be the range without pedalling. Otherwise you can quote any number you like and nobody can argue with it. As for the £5k bike - its a good thing it folds as you wouldn't want to leave it on the street where somebody could chop the chain and ride off with it.

These bikes are great if you can warrant spending that kind of money but I have a Fiido D4S which I know hasn't got rear suspension but other than that is comparible to the MiRider 1 in terms of range, having a throttle to get you going and small folded size but has the bigger wheels for greater stability. I understand it may not be as long lasting but it cost slightly over a third of the price so I could lose it and buy another and still have money left over and that is the cheapest of these four. My Super 73 S2 which is a big, fast, comfortable and long range bike wouldn't even be the most expensive here.

@ianbrown5873
@ianbrown5873 7 ай бұрын
You can go faster than 15.5mph but motor assistance cuts out at that speed. It is limited due to European law, “For safety reasons”. They say that if you want something faster get a moped where you have to do a test, road tax it and insure it. When setting up a Gocycle you actually get the option to set it up with USA setting which gives motor assistance up to 20mph and full throttle control where you don’t need to pedal. I set mine to American setting and it makes a difference. I have never heard of anyone being convicted but was told if you have an accident and it was investigated you wouldn’t have a leg to stand on.

Will it cost me more?, well I tracked down a 12 month old with less than 200 miles for 3k! Really wanted an electric bike but my pick makes more sense in my humble opinion. Also with the amount of after market parts its easy to personalize and is far better rider experience.

Too expensive but above all too heavy. The point of a folding bike is that you can fold it up and CARRY IT. Imaging lugging an 18kg lump of metal around a big Tube station like Kings Cross.

Neither are actually good for the price. For 2.5k - 3.2k… buy a second hand Brompton for 500.. and get an non foldable e bike for 2k

All UK brands are massively overpriced. Consider a Chinese ebike instead. You get much more for your money.

2 very true old adages apply here - You only get what you pay for. Buy cheap, buy twice. I am on my 4th ebike and can confirm these beyond all doubt.

I'm on my first ebike and it's a Chinese folding ebike which cost a lot less than any of these overpriced ones. Had no problem with it whatsoever. It can go off-road which none of these ones can do.

You missed two important details in your comparison. The problem with the MiRider is that it does not have "puncture resistant" tires. (it does have a self-sealing inner-tube, but that is a lame substitution because one the inner tube is punctured it's already a bit late.. the self sealant doesnt' always work.. so much better to just use a serious puncture resistant tire instead. especially with something like an ebike where bike shops may not have the right size inner-tubes in stock. -and the problem with the GoCycle is that the "bluetooth" is ALWAYS turned on. (unless you turn the bike off completely. This means that the Gocycle is beaming radiation into your body the entire time you are using it, whether U have your phone attached to it or not. (The health consequences of "Blue-tooth" radiation are known to be worse than other forms of EMF radiation in case U didn't know that.) 5G is probably worse, but with the exception of 5G, blue-tooth radiation is not something that health -conscious people, (or energetically sensitive people) do not want to have anything to do with. -Anyway these are both deal-breaking flaws in each of the bikes and needed to be mentioned.

I've been riding this bike for about a month kzfaq.infoUgkxwC0IIeIomGQVeBWg-kKJaToZkLEFIA2W and a half now and I think it's fantastic. It helps me get to work on time every day since I'm able to fit it inside of public transportation rush hour. The price is great too, people are always shocked when they ask me how much I paid for the fold up and I tell them "200". It's easy to fold and installation when it ships is insanely easy. All you have to install when the bike arrives is one foot pedal, everything else is done for you. I do recommend you carry some sort of wrench to tighten any loose screws on the handle bar and seat whenever they get a little bit loose. Other than that I think it's a fantastic bike. Easily fits in the home, can fit inside a car trunk and can even fit in subway rush hour.

It’s a hard choice to choose from but if I would I’d get the GoCycle G4i+ go all out but it’s around $7k. But there’s some great e-bike folding bikes based in Singapore like birdy and Mobot bikes that are cheaper you should review those. Birdy R20 link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7tnmrlj07Cbn6c.html Mobot S3 e-bike link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftd-ebJ606zdlI0.html

That ebike doesn't make sense in UK. Why would you pay £6000 only to be restricted to 15mph? It's way too much money to pay for something so slow. You will be overtaken by £900 ebikes. Maybe it makes more sense in the USA where it's 500W, but still seems like a rip off price.
