Richard Thorpe, founder of Gocycle, is relaunching the e-bike company he started over 20 years ago. After restructuring in January to reduce costs, Thorpe is turning to crowdfunding to finance a new series of F1-inspired e-bikes and expand into non-electric folding bikes. He will be sharing his story and the challenges facing Gocycle through a series of videos.

Gocycle’s designer-in-chief Richard Thorpe is rebooting the e-bike company he founded more than two decades ago.

Gocycle’s 2025 e-bike range includes the five-speed CXi Cargo bike already announced in addition to a five-speed SXi to be sold in both electric and nonelectric versions.
