Go, go gadget! Gocycle GXi

£3699 British-designed, futuristic, folding ebike

Gocycle’s latest ebike, the GXi, is the latest iteration of the clever, single-sided design that was first seen a decade ago when the company formed and launched its ebike range with the G3 model. Aimed primarily at commuters looking for a fast-folding ebike this iteration of the company’s notoriously stylish range adds a more integrated design and clever connectivity over the GX.

The single-sided design is a great idea that works particularly well for commuters because the stub-axles that hold the wheels in place mean that punctures can be repaired without the need to remove the wheel at all.

The sealed drivetrain is trouser-friendly and inside is housed a Shimano Nexus 3-speed hub gear that’s electronically controlled. It gives a gear range of a 39.1-inch in first, a 53.3-inch in second and a 72.5-inch gear
