After putting the Gocycle GS to the ride test it has proven to be much like other innovative Gocycle’s, yet at a more economical price of $2,799 (on sale for $2,499 in October). 

It has a lot of Gocycle high tech features (magnesium frame & wheels, smartphone ride customization, one sided wheels, etc.) while keeping with the Gocycle experience of being easy to ride with almost no maintenance to worry about. 

The GS has the same folding capabilities and it is lightweight (37.5 pounds) like the G3 for easy storage and transportation, while maintaining its design of fitting like a full sized eBike. 

Like other Gocycle’s the GS is an agile city commuter eBike that can handle the full commute to work or it can be used in combination with mass transit. It is also a good eBike for exploring the open road.

The Gocycle GS is priced at $2,799 USD (on sale for $2,499 in October) at the time of this review.
