The future of folding e-bikes is here…

…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!

*why isn’t someone making a light carbon folder

They are.
