We'll break this down into some key areas to keep simple. On the surface the Gocycle G3 and GS may seem similar, we'll take a deeper look. Let's start with the basics:

Looks & Appearance
Both Gocycle G3 and the GS look similar in their design, that's because they share the same frame and wheels. You'll notice the GS is only available in Grey & White and it's defined by the coloured swingarm (CleanDrive) and the 'S' logo printed on the side.

Conclusion
To conclude we expect there will be demand for the basic Gocycle GS. We see it similar to the iPhone model strategy, Apple launches an iPhone and in a basic 'S' version alongside too. Both make calls and receive texts, but one has more features than the other. Typically the higher spec model is higher in demand.
