Gadget of the week: Gocycle electric bicycle
10.11.2009
Pedal or motor? No need to decide with this spiffy electric bicycle from Gocyle, as it works like a normal bicycle but also kicks into gear travelling up to 15mph!
The Gocycle, distributed in Ireland by GreenAer, has power behind its innocent-looking handlebars because it was designed by ex-McLaren designer Richard Thorpe.
Aside from recently winning the Gold Award for outstanding design and innovation at the 2009 Eurobike show, the Gocyle also has the attractive elements of being quite portable, weighing in at only 16kg, and if you take a look at the design you'll probably feel the urge to move to a more avant-garde looking European city and pretend you're in a coffee advertisement.
The perfect gift perhaps for the eco-conscious guy or gal who has everything? The Gocycle is available to order now from GreenAer and costs €1,399.50 (including VAT).
