Gocycle has unveiled the CX series of elegant, lightweight, and foldable electric cargo bikes. The new CX lineup is innovative electric cargo bikes for families. They come with an intriguing new handlebar on the CX Plus model for improved rider comfort. The other model in the lineup is the CXi.
Gocycle is a British e-bike company founded by a former McLaren car designer, Richard Thorpe. It has been manufacturing Formula One-inspired e-bikes since its formation. The CX series of longtail electric cargo bikes feature the Flofit adaptable handlebar setup. Gocycle says this is probably the most adjustable-for-comfort handlebar ever developed. The handlebar is adjustable in reach, and grip angle, and offers multiple hand positions for urban riders.
The foldable design of the Gocycle CX series of cargo e-bikes also provides added versatility for the model. Some images of the Gocycle CX lineup had surfaced before now, but a real photograph of the model is lacking at this time. However, Gocycle has a track record of delivering premium e-bikes since 2009 and it is expected that it will also deliver the CX series as promised. Gocycle has also produced foldable e-bikes with integrated running lights, internal cable routing, and a minimalist display among other features.
The Gocycle CX can support up to 220kg of total weight with its lightweight 23kg body. The cargo e-bike is lighter than some current models and offers a greater load capacity. Gocycle says the center kickstand of the CX series can support the massive load because of its dual-legged retractable design. Gocycle kickstands are lightweight, strong, and foldable. The patent of the new kickstand is yet to be sighted publicly but it is tested with a 220kg maximum load vehicle rating, as well as multi-passenger/ rider loading-unloading use cases.
The frame of the Gocycle CX series electric cargo bikes is made of alloy at the front and carbon fiber at the rear. A carbon fiber wheel and fork are also featured while a 375Wh removable battery delivers a range of 80km for the e-bike. The battery can be fully recharged in 3.5 hours while US customers will get a 500W motor with a 32km/h top speed. The Gocycle CX in Europe will come with a 250W motor with a top speed of 25km/h. Other impressive features of the Gocycle CX series will engender it to the buying public.

Gocycle is already receiving pre-orders for the CX electric cargo bikes at $7600/ €7000 for the CXi and $8,860/ €8,210/ £6,999 for the Gocycle CX Plus. The earliest deliveries of the Gocycle CX will be in September 2024 for the US and UK.
