Gocycle unveils its first balance bike

Urban electric bike brand Gocycle has unveiled its first children’s balance bike. Gocycle Mini is the latest arrival in the growing family of urban e-bikes.

The brand’s OneDesignDNA philosophy provides a unified design language mimicking the brand’s full-sized adult models.

Gocycle’s patented mini side-mounted Pitstopwheels, a mini single-sided front fork, moulded mini-Cleandrive and carbon fibre mini front frame combine to create one of the world’s lightest (2.6kg / 5.7lbs) children’s balance bikes.

Richard Thorpe, Gocycle designer and founder, said: “For over two decades we’ve honed and mastered our craft to create the perfect urban e-bike, optimised for healthy and sustainable personal transport. Building on the recent reveal of our new CXi Family Cargo electric bike, the new Gocycle Mini further extends our product range to little riders wanting to share in all the fun and pride Gocycle owners have.

“We’ve taken our no-compromises approach with the Gocycle Mini design and engineering, focusing on lightweight and living with the product as much as inspiring little ones to get moving, learn new skills, and feel the thrill of two wheels.

“Parents will appreciate how easy it is to carry, but aspiring little Gocyclers will take pride in having what mum or dad have. Above all, this little thing makes people smile.”

The Gocycle Mini weighs a claimed 2.6kg (5.7lbs) making it one of the lightest balance bikes on the market, with the innovative integration of lightweight materials delivering significant performance benefits.

Each Gocycle has an automotive-inspired adjustable driving position. The Gocycle Mini’s Vgonomic designed seat-post and frame geometry provides adaptable fitting for extended usage as children grow bigger.

The Gocycle Mini reveal comes hot on the heels of the release of the new CXi & CX+ Family Cargo electric bikes.

The Gocycle Mini & CXi & CX+ Family Cargo electric bikes will complement the G4, G4i & G4i+ electric bikes to form Gocycle’s 2024 product line-up.

Gocycle has prepared an initial scheduled production run of 500 units of the Mini with an RRP of £399.

First deliveries are expected from October 2024.
