    Gocycle service - kudos

    I bought a slightly-used show demo G3 from Gocycle, and like it a lot, but after about a month it went dead. The battery seemed to be OK, but the bike just would not power on. So I contacted customer service, and after a few back-and-forth emails about simple diagnostics, they offered to ship...

    Fold the handlebars - at least they won't ride it away.

    Known Issues & Problems with Gocycle Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    All you have to do is use the Setup in the App and choose the Second option, which allows the bike to assist at speeds up to 40kph with or without pedaling. And you are sounding rude.

    Anybody tried out the GX yet?

    The G3/GXi battery can be bought separately, but is not inexpensive: https://www.gocycleusa.com/product-p/kkl-3214-4021-01.htm I have a G3, but I envy the quick folding of the GX's, while not wanting the extra weight. As to an earlier question about SF hills, one would need to be pedaling hard...

    Help me to choose decent commuter class 2/3 combined, optimal budget <=3k

    I'd suggest that there are two criteria that are important: torque-sensing motor control, and having a skilled local dealer who can keep the bike working.

    I'm liking it a lot. Gocycle has been good about replacing the missing small parts that weren't in the box, and I'm loving the bike, with only a couple of issues: I find it annoying that it takes a couple of crank turns before the boost comes on, and the 375Wh battery is not large. (this is...

    Gocycle ant-theft features.

    How about a "lock front motor" option in the app to deter riding away after a casual theft?

    Well, I received the demo G3 today, and the scratches mentioned are pretty minimal, so I'm pleased. Everything is fully functional, and I had no issues with the registration process. There are some small bits missing, but I've contacted Customer Service to see if they will ship me the missing...

    GoCycle shipping

    Ordered a bike. The web site says normally shipped in 24 hours. It actually took four days. Today I received an email congratulating me for their having shipped it, but it contained No tracking information, which is amazing. The bike did ship, and Gocycle Customer Service indicated that this...

    Looking for folding ebike with torque-sensing that works well

    I was interested in the evelo for its excellent features, but it's a 52lb. bike - tough for me to lift over the tail-gate.

    Looking for folding ebike with torque-sensing that works well

    I test-rode a Gocycle S today, and liked it enough that I bought a late-2019 G3 Demo from the Gocycle web site, with "deep scratches on frame and chain cover" for $1750. I assume that someone had a gravel-demo experience, but I don't much care bout the appearance. If it bothers me enough, I'll...

    Looking for folding ebike with torque-sensing that works well

    I have a Specialized Turbo, and I find that the pedal assist works so well that pedaling feels exactly like a pedal bike and makes it feel like it weighs 20 lbs. less. I'm in the market for a folder with torque-sensing PAS that works as well as the Specialized bikes. So far, those that I've...

    Wish your Turbo S had front suspension?

    That's pretty funny - this is an electric bicycle. If you want power delivery, get up off the seat.

    Wish your Turbo S had front suspension?

    It's been raining since November, and barely a day warmer than the 40s. No thanks.

    Wish your Turbo S had front suspension?

    Well, my long-term and short-term are the same experience, because the day I installed it, it started raining and hasn't stopped since. I've got a suspension fork on my other bike, and so far I like this better, from very limited use.
