Questions and answers
- Which is better for a heavy rider?
- The Aipas. It is rated to 400 lbs, while the Gocycle G4i caps total weight at 220 lbs including clothing and luggage.
- Is the Gocycle worth the extra money?
- Only if folding and low weight matter to you. You pay about $3,300 more for a bike that folds, weighs 38.8 lbs, and adds electronic shifting and a carbon fork.
- Which is easier to carry onto a train or up stairs?
- The Gocycle. At 38.8 lbs and folding, it is far easier to lift and stow than the 57 lb Aipas, which does not fold.
- Which has more range?
- They are close. The Aipas claims up to 52 miles (62 in pedal-assist mode) from a 380Wh battery; the Gocycle claims up to 50 miles from about 375Wh.
- Which charges faster?
- The Gocycle, at about 3.5 hours versus 4-6 hours for the Aipas.
- Which handles hills better?
- The Aipas, with 90 Nm of torque and a 1,100W peak motor. The Gocycle uses a 500W front hub motor tuned for flat urban riding.
