I bought it when it was $4000 at the time. I do not think I would buy it at $7000 . I bike all day to get to various places in nyc. And the folding is perfect for me getting in and out of buildings. My bike is never parked on the outside And the folded rolling is pretty easy to get around when indoors

I keep coming back to the convenience of folding ebikes. When I travel to visit family, I throw the Lectric XP Lite in the trunk of my sedan. No hassle, very easy. I have a non-folder ebike for commuting, but the convenience of being able to bike outside my home zone without the hassle of external bicycle carriers is worth something.

Sure you could buy a cheap motorcycle on 7k but with a motorcycle you have to pay for license/insurance and tag. With a folding bicycle you could bring it on any mode of transport let it be a bus/train or any size car and you don't have to pay for gas. It is all about the cost/benefit and experience you want from whatever mode of transport you chose.

It is expensive, but custom stuff like this doesn't get the benefits of economies of scale. Plus it's carbon fiber and good components. That said, I paid $1500 for a used GS (lower end GoCycle from the previous generation) and I quite like it. It's fun and comfortable and the lightest bike that ticked my other boxes (foldable, 20" or bigger tires). However when it's time for upgrade I might look for a different brand unless by that time I can find a good used one of these.

Have you riden the Gocyce Gi also? I have riden G4i but not the G4+. Is the G4i+ much different in ride, handling & comfort over the G4-? If the G4i+ is 20% over the other G4i I would go for + but not 5%. One thousand more has to make a difference.

Good to know: it is a great bike! Things that could be better for such an expensive bicycle: the screws rust, the small coverplate on the motorhub rusts, the app is quite buggy, the front fender is too short on the front so water swings up and ends up on your shoes anyway.

They did. For the base model they used plastic instead of carbon fiber. It saved whoping 200EUR. I still think the price is justified for the amounth of engineering put into development and manufacturing of this technical marvel.

This bike was really easy to assemble kzbin.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
