# Predictive Shifting E-Bikes The GoCycle GXi Incorporates a Three-Speed Predictive Drivetrain By Colin Smith | Published 2023-04-20 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gocycle-gxi References: [theverge](https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/9/21211827/gocycle-gxi-review-price-foldable-electric-bike) & [gocycle.zendesk](https://gocycle.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003892078-Gocycle-Electronic-Shifting)  The GoCycle GXi is a [foldable electric bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiido-x-2025) that features an [electronic three-speed shifting system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/estarli-e28). The predictive shifting feature automatically changes gear depending on the rider's speed, as long as they stop pedalling for a brief moment. The rider can also manually shift gears via an override controlled by the right-hand twist switch. The [GoCycle companion application](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eleglide-m1-plus) on mobile devices can be used to activate or deactivate the feature. Alternatively, holding both twist switches for 15 seconds will enable mode-switching and can activate predictive shifting. The GoCycle GXi has a 500-watt front hub motor that outputs a top speed of 20 mph, which is limited to adhere to countries regulations. The bike features a 375 Wh removable battery that results in a range of roughly 50 miles, based on the riding conditions and selected ride mode. Currently, the bike is available for purchase at an MSRP of $4,799 USD.
