About

Every Ride Matters

Think about the days when you were late for work because of a traffic jam, or the days when you did not know which street to take to make it to an important meeting, or when you were just too tired to keep on pedaling to get home, or when your bike did not fit in the elevator and you had to take it up the stairs…

Those days are now over for all of us; for the young professional that commutes every day through Manhattan, for youngsters in San Francisco that want to enjoy a sunny Sunday near the bay, for freelancers who are hoping from job to job in Berlin, for the housewife that wants to go shopping or take her toddlers to school.

For all of them, we created The Gi-Bike. We all know that bicycles are the most efficient and eco-friendly way to commute throughout the city, but we found out that there is no bicycle with -all- the features that satisfy all the needs of the everyday commuter. In fact there has not been any major or real innovation since its original creation in the 1800s. That is why we invented The Gi-Bike, by carefully challenging every aspect and design of the traditional bike.

The Press Review

We have received incredible feedback from around the world:

Now we are ready to produce the first batch of orders and make our dream a reality, that’s why we launched The Gi exclusively on Kickstarter.

Our Goal

We are committed to providing the best riding experience and improving the life of millions of commuters around the world. We believe our product is revolutionary, and we would like nothing more than to make it a reality. But we cannot do it without your help.

$400,000 – Initial Production of limited edition Gi-Bike

Full Features

For 200 years, since the inception of the bike, we have not experienced a true bike revolution. Behold the Gi, a 21st century crafted vehicle, by city lovers, for city lovers. Conscious, intelligent, practical, light, connected, easy and a pleasure to ride.

The Electric Assistance (Pedalec) knows when you need help and will assist you with the electric engine, that way you won't sweat a drop when riding to an important meeting or that first date. Love the City. Love your Gi.

Light as a feather. Strong as a bull.

Running 40+ miles on a LifePo4 battery without recharging, and weighing under 37.4lbs, the Gi is a true feather in the city.

Folds as fast as reading this phrase.

It only takes 1 second and one motion to fold. After folding, it is easy to carry, like a wheeled-luggage, you just grab the handles and go.

Smart

Smartphone integration, GPS, social networking, a full control of Gi’s features and an integrated USB port connects you to your city like no other.

Safest option in the streets.

Highest percentage of urban bicycle accidents are car side-hits. Gi’s frontal wheel smart LED lights turn on at night, gaining visibility in darker hours thus making the safest ride possible.

High performance LiFePo4 battery.

Gi features a Lithium-Ion high performance battery that lasts 40+ miles without recharging. Plus, you can use it to plug your smartphone while you drive.

Safe

Easy to lock, easy to share. The Gi-Bike's integrated anti-theft lock has a feature that locks automatically once you walk 10 feet away from your bike. You can also add users to your Gi, so it’s super-easy to share with friends and family.

Gi-Bike Models

Because we want everyone to be the master of their own journey, we’ve designed two versions of the Gi-Bike:

The Gi-Bike with electric assistance.

Behind the Bike: The Gi-Bike’s Story

The idea behind Gi-Bike was born in Córdoba, Argentina after a national strike paralyzed public transportation throughout the country and restricted people's freedom to move throughout the city. It was during this difficult time that we realized the importance of independence and the need for a better method for daily commuters to regain their independence. After researching different means of transportation, we realized that the bicycle was the most efficient means of transportation throughout the world.

We set our goal in the pursuit of one big idea: to revolutionize and transform the commute of millions of people around the world by carefully challenging every aspect and design of the traditional bicycle.

We designed The Gi-Bike with a minimalistic design, prioritizing the functionality over the esthetics. After two years of work, we came up with a design specially built with the comfort, safety, and ease of use that daily commuters deserve.

We designed the Gi-Bike so that you can fold it in less than one second in only one movement while preserving the quality of a full-sized bike.

Our dream is for daily commuters to have an all-in-one bicycle that fulfill their needs, adapts to their cities, and promotes a greener and better world.
