Guy R Abbott is the founder of GoBike Australia. Based in the Macarthur Region of NSW, Guy started GoBike the way a lot of good ideas start — in his own backyard, watching his kids ride their first electric balance bikes and wanting something even better for them. He saw the real gap in the market: standard pedal bikes can't handle a dirt trail, and 50cc petrol dirt bikes are heavy, noisy, and more bike than most parents want to hand a young rider. That problem became GoBike — electric balance bikes built with real hydraulic brakes, proper suspension, and speed control, so parents get the performance their kids want without giving up the safety they need.
