Gocycle launches cargo bike that folds, is electric, and weighs just 23kg
Folding e-bike brand e🔜xtends its range to the e-cargo bike segment

Gocycle has carved out a niche in high-end folding electric bikes, with its stylish G4 among the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:best folding electric bikes. It’s now expanding its range into the fast-growing electric 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:cargo bike market with the new Gocycle Family Cargo e-bike.
The familial resemblance to Gocycle’s folding 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:electric bikes isn’t hard to spot, with the new cargo e🍸-bike sharing the front half design of the G4. The rear of the new electric cargo bike is also similar to the G4, with the chain fully enclosed in a spar that supports the rear wheel. The wheelbase has been extended to 14𒁃33mm though, to support a platform for carrying cargo, kids or anything else you might want to transport.
The 375Wh internal batte൲ry gives a claimed range of up to 50 mi👍les.
Compact folded size
Gocycle has also retained its fast fold design, with the Gocycle Family Cargo folding neatly towards the rear of the front frame on a vertical hinge. While this puts the G4&rsquᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚo;s two wheels next to each other, so that it can be wheeled, the extended wheelbase of the ℱnew Family Cargo e-bike means that the wheels aren’t aligned, although they do sit parallel.
It does allow the new electric bike to be folded into a compact package, alleviating one of the downside🍒s of many cargo bikes: their large footprint when not in use. Fold down the handlebars and the seatpost and the Gocycle Family Cargo forms a compact package that should be much easier to store and transport.
The Family Cargo bike weighs around 23kg, which also makes it light for an electric cargo bike. The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Specialized Globe Haul weighs a claimed 35kg wit🌳h standard wheelbase, 🔯for example.
The rear r🌠ack is compatible with MIK HD accessories. Th♈ere's a wide range sold, meaning that you can fit anything from a child seat to panniers to a dog basket.

The Gocycle Family Cargo e-bike will be available at two spec levels: CXi aꦫnd CX+. While the CXi has Gocycle’s standard handlebar design, the CX+ incorporates the brand’s latest Flofit handlebar. Rather than the hand grips facing to the sides, this design has grips that are angled rearwards from the bar e⛎nds.
They’re designed so that you cꦚan rཧapidly adjust their angle to suit your preferred hand position, using a lever on the underside of the bar to lock them in place. Gocycle says that they “bring a quantum leap in rider ergonomics and comfort”.
The Flofit handlebar also has Gocycle’s in-built LED running light and LED status indicator array, which is also present o🦋n the CXi's standard bars.
