Karbon Kinetics Limited was founded in 2002 with a mission to develop accessible and affordable high-performance and lightweight electric vehicles, starting with Gocycle^®, the award-winning electric two-wheeler that is shaking up the electric bicycle industry.

Gocycle is the brainchild of Richard Thorpe, a design engineer with a 25-year career that has included employment with some of the world’s most prestigious names in motorsport, such as McLaren Cars, Bentley, Audi, Ferrari and Mercedes.

After an extensive and in-depth product development process, Karbon Kinetics’ critically acclaimed breakthrough product Gocycle was first made available to the public in April 2009. Inspired by F1 high-performance and design, Gocycle is the first injection-moulded magnesium alloy bicycle in history. Lightweight, environmentally sustainable and stylish with on-demand electric power, Gocycle offers commuters a new and exciting way of getting around town at a lower cost than using public transport.
