Gocycle, known for its sleek, automotive-inspired electric bikes, is taking a sharp turn with its latest creation - the CXi electric cargo bike. This new offering ditches the usual sporty aesthetic for a family-friendly design built for hauling groceries, kids, or both.
Crafted for Strength and Speed
The CXi boasts a robust frame constructed from hydro-formed 6061 T6 aluminum alloy and carbon fiber. This combination keeps the weight down to a mere 23kg, while offering the strength to support a total cargo weight of 220kg. Gocycle’s top-secret G4 drive hub motor propels the CXi through city streets, ensuring a smooth and powerful ride for families on the go.
While the CXi sheds the usual F1-inspired looks of Gocycle bikes, its DNA is still present. The company claims the design draws inspiration from the aerodynamics and efficiency of Formula One race cars. Whether this translates to actual performance improvements for cargo hauling remains to be seen.
Focus on Functionality
The true focus of the CXi lies in its functionality. The bike features a spacious cargo area at the back, perfect for transporting groceries, backpacks, or even young children. Gocycle has yet to reveal details on additional features like child seats or weatherproofing, but these are likely additions considering the family focus.
The CXi marks a significant departure from Gocycle’s usual high-performance, single-rider electric bikes. It caters to a new audience – families seeking a sustainable and efficient way to get around town with their little ones.
Secure Your Spot Now
For enthusiastic parents eager to get their hands on this innovative e-bike, Gocycle offers a reservation option. You can secure your CXi by placing a fully refundable £499 / €499 / $499 deposit before pre-orders close at the end of April.
Price and Availability
The Gocycle Family Cargo is priced at a premium: £5,999 / €6,999 / $6,999. However, for eco-conscious families seeking a stylish and practical mode of transportation, the CXi’s blend of functionality and F1-inspired design might just be worth the investment. The first deliveries are expected in September 2024.
