LONDON, February 23, 2010 - Karbon Kinetics Ltd. (KKL), producer of the award-winning electric
two-wheeler Gocycle(R), announced today the launch of Gocycle Black - a new,
non-electric-powered model produced in limited quantities for the year 2010,
finished in a matt black colour and offered at a suggested retail price of
GBP995.

Designed to appeal to urban cyclists who commute to work primarily for
fitness, Gocycle Black comes without the standard electric Gocycle
EmpowerPack(TM) (motor, battery and charger), weighs 12.2kg, and features a
steeper head angle to provide sportier handling over the standard Gocycle.

As an option, customers can purchase the EmpowerPack at any time to
upgrade the model with electric power.

According to Richard Thorpe, KKL's founder and design engineer, "We have
designed the Gocycle product platform for performance commuting. At the heart
of this is our focus on superior pedal drive-train efficiency, rider
ergonomics, and ease of free-wheeling, which are performance factors
fundamental to Gocycle Black. Gocycle Black customers ride fast and don't
mind breaking a sweat on their way to work, so on-demand electric power is
not a priority for them. The 4kg saved in weight and the GBP500 lower price
point are a bonus."

Gocycle Black comes standard with all of the design innovations of the
standard Gocycle, such as the PitstopWheel(R) for quick and easy repair of
flat tyres, Vgonomic(TM) adjustment for excellent rider ergonomics, and the
fully-sealed Cleandrive(R) drivetrain, which keeps the rider's clothing
clean. Gocycle Black also features the same Magflow(R) lightweight magnesium
frame as the standard Gocycle.

Gocycle Black is available for purchase at www.gocycleblack.com
with delivery throughout the European Union. MSRP GBP995.
