Karbon Kinetics Limited (Gocycle)

Karbon Kinetics Limited (KKL) was founded in 2002 with a mission to develop the best electric bikes in the world.

After an extensive and in-depth product development process, KKL’s multi-award winning breakthrough product Gocycle was first made available to the public in April 2009. Inspired by F1 high-performance and automotive design, Gocycle is the first injection-moulded magnesium alloy bicycle in history. Lightest in class, environmentally sustainable and stylish with on-demand electric power, Gocycle is an automotive joy to live with.

Gocycle is the brainchild of Richard Thorpe, a former Mclaren Cars design engineer with a 25- year career working in the motorsports and light electric vehicle industry.
