Gocycle G2 vs Gocycle G3

The GoCycle G2 can connect to your smartphone and a companion app via a Bluetooth connection and allows improved customization of your bike and also monitors different aspects such as speed limits, power mode and battery life. You can also keep the bike itself up to date with the Connect app, as it's possible to update the bike's firmware through the application. In the case of a technical failure, the app is able to generate a maintenance log for future reference.

Another feature of the Connect app is the ability to upload custom maps: you can specify parts of that map where the Gocycle should provide motor assistance. In case of a stolen G2, the app allows the user to remotely lock the bike if someone else tries to pair with it.

The Gocycle G2 has a good weight distribution across the frame of the bike which results in a great handling of the device.

The Gocycle G2 features a sleek design with most elements such as the chain and battery integrated into the frame. Some parts such as the wheels can be dissembled as the G2 is quite modular in its nature.

The maximum range of the Gocycle G2 is measured at an impressive 40 miles (65 kilometers), an excellent result for a compact, foldable electric bike.

The remaining battery life of the Gocycle and the current speed can be read off the compact LED-display on the steer at all times.

Bike maintenance is almost non-existent with the G2. The chain is self-tensioning and built-in and doesn't require lubrication. The only thing that needs to be checked every once in a while is the tire pressure.

The framework of the Gocycle G2 is entirely made out of magnesium which is a light, yet solid building material.

The Gocycle G2 only weighs 35 pounds (16 kilograms) and is considered a light-weight electric bike. The weight distribution across the bike is also quite balanced for easier transport and better handling.

Assembling the Gocycle G2 is straightforward and only takes up a couple of minutes, as seen in this instructional video.

The official maximum speed of the Gocycle G2 is limited to 15.5 miles per hour (25 kilometers per hour), but this can be ramped up by using the official Gocycle companion app and setting a custom profile with speeds up to 25 mph (40 km/h). When using this adjustment, the Gocycle G2 is faster than the majority of all electrical bicycles.

The maximum range of the Gocycle G3 is rated at 50 miles (80 kilometers), which is extremely high for a compact and foldable electric bike. Compared to the Gocycle G2, that's a battery life improvement of 25%.

The Gocycle G3 is very comfortable to ride with thanks to a highly adjustable seat and good weight distribution of the bike. Compared to the Gocycle G2, the new revision features ergonomically designed grips and shifters, slimmer disk brakes and pedals with improved grip.

The third generation Gocycle has a total weight of 36 pounds (16,3 kilograms), which is only a tad heavier than the previous G2 model. Overall, weight is still very low compared to similar electric bikes.

The Gocycle G3 features a sleek design with most elements such as the chain and battery integrated into the frame. Some parts such as the wheels can be disassembled as the G2 is quite modular in its nature.

According to Gocycle, the app will be updated to better fit the new G3 bike with additional factors and statistics such as the amount of calories burnt, distance traveled, assisted speed settings and weather reports.

The Gocycle G3 features an integrated and bright daytime running light, for added visibility on the streets.

Assembling the Gocycle G3 is straightforward and only takes up a couple of minutes, as seen in this instruction video.

Battery life, gear settings and speed can be read off the compact edge-to-edge LED-display on the steer of the Gocycle.

Bike maintenance is almost non-existent with the G3. The chain is self-tensioning and built-in and doesn't require lubrication. The only thing that needs to be checked every once in a while is the tire pressure.
