😄super. Model and colour?

How absolutely wonderful!

Awesome!

Thanks Donald! Look for more coming this weekend. I hope the weather is nice where you are - finally getting some sunshine! -Peter

+Philip Gestier thanks Philip! Glad you like them and more to come. What do you ride? -Peter

+Pedrolino Brompton So glad to hear that you like them and congratulations on your purchase! I'm sure you'll have many years of fun thanks to those bikes! -Peter

Thank you! -Peter

Some bike shops sell their demo bikes at a considerable discount price at the end of the year. Do look them up.

Creation Adorer after looking at Brompton for well over 10 years, I finally bought one. I should have bought one years ago. It’s saving me time (waiting for busses, underground, searching for parking places, traffic jams etc) it’s saving me money (bus fares, parking taxes, fines) and it’s fun and healthy. It feels liberating! And when you don’t want to cycle, you can take a bus, train, put it in the boot of a car etc etc. But I did just what you proposed, I bought a demo model. Or is 4 years old and cost me as much as a brand new basic model, but I got a titanium with everything I wanted, the M6R-X, in racing green. It really was brand new, not a scratch or a nick, everything really shiny and new! Oh and Bikes+Life, thanks for the superb videos! It helped me a lot deciding to buy one!

Same, I have a Tern that's 1/4 the price but nowhere near as compact. Hard to find a Brommie on sale, even secondhand they hold their price really well, but from everything I've heard you get what you pay for.

I have a new one for sale. Was left to me in a will

Throttlelifeby jt - are you selling it?

+Abdulaziz Almodahka Nice! I've been riding one since 2010. I have two actually: M6R Raw Lacquer and S2E Red/Titanium. What's your Brompton? -Peter

❤ 😊

+Uncle Albert Thanks! Glad to be back doing what I love. -Peter

I feel the same. Bromptons are freaking expensive here in my country. One bike costs about the same as a secondhand car or a brand new scooter. I still want it tho. But it's gonna take a lot of saving.

+Regazzino From Hell thanks!!-Peter

+dave20thmay maybe it's not practical.. wheels are small and very expensive for a bike.

Congratulations Shahir! Where will you go for your first ride? That's so exciting. Have fun and thanks for letting me know! -Peter

Just introducing my girlfriend to folding bikes, luckily I live just outside Vancouver so most likely Stanley Park :D I will have to save up to get her a Brompton as well haha.

+Patrick Heng Hey Patrick! Thanks for watching and for subscribing. Great to have you part of the community. -Peter

+Vandalarius Nice! Great to hear you got the bike you wanted. We will have lots of accessories and parts available at bikesandlife.com in case you're looking for something in the future. Look forward to working with you and let me know if you have any questions! -Peter

+Bikes and Life Sounds good! I've had a look but didn't see any accessories for now. I'll check back again in the future.

+Peo Thank you! We'll have more videos going into further detail coming soon!

+Ciro Di Rosa That's great! Congratulations on your purchase. Have fun and hope to see you in NYC sometime. Cheers! -Peter

+Ciro Di Rosa you can't go wrong with a Brompton - such a great bike. I had only easy wheels on my bike for years and it's good enough. I finally put the rack on and did notice its easier. Still, I don't roll it so much when folded. Sure people swear by that rack though. Thanks for your comment! -Peter

+The Flying Brompton Hey!! Thank you very much! It's a victory 4 years in the making. I'd been 3rd and 2nd but never first. Now I really have to pull it together and train for the World Championships in London. So excited! -Peter

+Bikes and Life Hard work ALWAYS pays off at the end. Best of luck...USA, USA, USA! 😃

That's great to hear Chuck! Never too old to ride! If you ever need something we can ship it right to your door - flat rate $10 on parts/accessories and no tax when shipped out of Massachusetts. Cheers and have fun! -Peter

Ciro Di Rosa cool. What you can do is buy a generic luggage shoulder strap from a luggage store. Pick one with big clips at the ends. Then you can clip that right to the aluminum tubing inside the basket. That will allow you to carry it on your shoulder conveniently. Hope that helps and have fun! I'm in San Francisco right now. Flew in with my Brompton as a carry on. So great. -Peter

+Bikes and Life - It worked! I had a luggage strap off an old laptop bag. Thanks bud! Have a good trip!

+Ciro Di Rosa Hey awesome! Glad to help. :) -Peter

Abdulaziz Almodahka watch me travel around London on a Brompton kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iK-ijKuU0bWXeH0.html

+Anucha SeoDml me too! :) -Peter

+Douglas Kmiotek Thank you!! -Peter

Hi Nicholas, that's so cool to hear! You made the right choice of course. :) The bag is a new Game Bag from Brompton. Very classy, spacious, multipurpose. Thanks for watching! -Peter

Wow very cool! That sounds like a great trip. I actually have my S2E in Lisbon right now. It's been amazing to experience the city by bike, ride to the ferry and then ride to the beach, etc. Have an awesome trip! -Peter

+Sanzo Hahaha Cheers, thanks very much! We've actually got a full series of videos on handlebars and gearing about to hit the channel this weekend. -Peter Please check out the Brompton page on our site for any bike or accessory needs: www.bikesandlife.com/collections/brompton

How many miles do you think you have on your Brompton Mark? -Peter

+trevor francis sounds like you may own one? -Peter

it's well thought out

Funny enough that's actually an idea they'd been playing with years ago. Instead they decided to keep their focus right on one frame sand tune it to perfection. Would be cool to see a large wheel Brompton though. Thanks for the interesting comment! -Peter

now that their patent has expired it would be pretty easy to make one/have one made. Just pick your wheel size (I guess the slightly oversized 20" ones would be a good choice) and just measure an original brompton and just scale everything up 15-20%. I wouldn't be surprised if it was possible to keep the weight basically the same. Having said that there are a lot of brompton style folders being made in asia now so maybe one of those would fit the bill.

+ehilado06 Bromptons and Life! ;) -Peter

here is s similar bike at half the price with electric motor included endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=84722 this is a link to my bike that I'm building and will upgrade the motor despite the stock motor being pretty decent for hill climbing.

+syafiq syafiq Very cool that you have the S3E - that must be a beautiful Brompton! To reduce weight I would look first at a lightweight seatpost, that's the biggest weight savings. Also Kojak tires are very light - the the folding ones if you can. My own Brompton has too many modifications to list! You can add mudguards to your Brompton, check with your local dealer and remember the fenders now come in black, white, and silver! Have fun! -Peter

That sounds like an amazing trip Jeffrey! Will you be camping or staying hotels or both? How many miles per day? Very cool idea... I am jealous! -Peter

Hey Peter, the ride will include both camping and hotels. Although, I do prefer hotels more than camping. I should be averaging about 60 miles a day. So, the pace is not fast. I like to slow down, this is not a race against time. Just a leisurely ride across America, through some of the most beautiful places in the states. The ride will be going through Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and California. :)

What a fantastic approach to the ride. I support that vibe 100%. I've always wanted to do that ride. Please send us some photos along the way! info@bikesandlife.com -Peter

Thanks so much DB! We are very excited to keep bringing the best information, excitement, and inspiration to all our viewers. I think that you'd end up using the folding feature of the Brompton more than you think. After I bought folding bikes for my parents (both big time bikers themselves) they actually started using those more than their full size bikes. A Brompton is actually so comfortable and easy to ride that you really fall in love with it. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions about Bromptons! -Peter

Hey Peter, just drop me an email and we can talk through the details of ordering. peter (at) bikesandlife (dot) com. Cheers and thanks for watching! -Peter

+Lian Wei Keu Thanks! You can actually order that shipped right to you from us! Order here: www.bikesandlife.com/collections/brompton-luggage

+Philip Gestier Got it. Wow Papillionaire is a beauty. It must be a lot of fun with that ebike conversion. What is the main purpose of a folding bike for you? Depending on what you're going to do with it you may be better suited for one type of bike versus another. I'd be happy to guide you to the right bike, or bikes, and then we can figure out how to fit that into your budget. Feel free to send a private message or if you're happy to post publicly I'm sure lots of folks have similar questions. -Peter

+Manny Francisco I am actually planning that for next week! We are also thinking about doing one on how to clean a Brompton and how to change a flat tire. Are there any other videos you would love to see? I love getting feedback from our viewers. Thanks! -Peter

Thanks so much Didot! Glad to have you part of our community. :) -Peter

+Pedrolino Brompton that's one of the new colors for 2016 and is my personal favorite. You can preorder here: www.bikesandlife.com/collections/brompton-luggage

The Ergon GP1 S are great grips. I would definitely recommend getting them without the little handle on the end. That way you will have room for your hands on the grip. -Peter

+K GS that's a great question. I'll check with Brompton and get back to you. So glad you enjoyed our videos!-Peter

+Bikes and Life thanks Peter, it means a great deal to me!

Thanks very much Mayur!! Have you been thinking about buying a Brompton? I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. -Peter

+Bikes and Life what is the cost and how to get it in india

+mayur kode Bromptons are about $1500-2500 USD. I'm not sure if there are dealers in India but you can check Brompton.com to see if there is a shop near you. -Peter

+Bikes and Life too expensive to consider
