I was really surprised to see a cyclist riding one of these innovative bikes in North Fremantle on Monday night – check out their website http://www.gocycle.com/

Cool looking bicycle. This surely is the decade for cool thing-a-ma-jigs (perhaps thanks to the iPhone, Nintendo Wii etc.). But I’m not sure if it’s promoting or even fully encouraging cycling as a viable commute. Ultimately this is a part solution. It’s a bike that’s transported (presumably) in the boot of a petrol-guzzling vehicle. I guess you could get the bus with it (is it light enough?). I reckon we need facility-based government / city solutions like “showers”, “lockers” and secure and visible parking racks rather than easy-to-transport bicycles. I guess it’s not a fast bike, so one might sweat a little less and you could probably wear a suit on it. Dunno. Feels a bit design over content to me. Maybe I’m over-thinking it.
Quite neat as an electric bicycle. I found the website a bit hard to navigate, I could not find the technical details (such as weight, battery life, range, speed). It seems the battery must be in the frame, with the drive somewhere at the crank.
For a diverse range of electric cycles I looked up a dealer in my hometown, and found out that the Gocycle is designed by the McLaren team chief constructor.
