    …maybe…

    For an e-bike it looks OK, pluses:

    Use of magnesium must be light, also hydroformed bars and stem*
    chain is covered
    single sided-ness is cool
    disc brakes

    shame:

    It’s only electric
    It doesn’t fold into a portable self contained unit.
    3-speed only
    You integrated a £10 cable lock? Really?

    *why isn’t someone making a light carbon folder?

    My mates got one of those.

    It’s actually a hoot to ride, bit heavy but fun.

    Go Cyle have been around for yonks. I’ve worked on a couple and I’m not convinced by their quality to be honest.
    Wer count get the stand fitted. Their advice was to screw a nut onto the protruding thread and keep tightening it until it crunched its way into the frame on the inside. I wasn’t happy with the amount of force it took to do this to be honest and it felt like a right bodge. Also their first incarnation was riddled with faults and they nearly all came back….

    Self tapper into magnesium…might work

    Yeah I know they’re not new but there’s a kickstarter on FB so I thought I’d raise awareness.

    “Non-bike company in making bikes not as good quality as bikeco” shocker!
