Absolutely the best easy to follow video on e-bike conversion I've seen. We've got two Brompton's and might consider the conversion after watching this. Olive was a treat too.

Thank you for this very informative and detailed video. 🙂 This is a great example of "How you do anything is the way you do everything" and you are so very thorough.

Very helpful information and great video work. Can’t help but wonder why I’ve not run across the Nano kit anywhere else yet? Big thanks to you, and Olive of course. Happy trails. 🙏🏼🐾🎶

Olive is awesome ! Great video Dave, all the best.

A very elegant job. Kudos.

Thanks for the great video. And to bring in the star of the video got me to smile. I'm talking about the shop dog!

Another great video, cheers

I've had one of these for a few years now and I'm very happy with it. It gives just enough help so that I don't need to worry about the hills surrounding my home with the result that I get out more. Hills get worse as you get older... I think it's worth explaining that the black "lump" on the front is a standard Brompton luggage carrier (my own bike came with one) that has had electrical contacts added. It follows that any Brompton front bag can be adapted to match - my bag is much bigger than the one seen here, so I can still carry "stuff" as well as the battery. I chose a twist grip throttle option, which gives a little control over acceleration, because it appealed most at the time. As a result I can turn off the power manually or by stopping the pedalling action so I'm not required to fit the brake lever switch. I think the throttle can involve a little more work to fit, but having now seen the brake switch I'm glad I went that way as I don't like to rely on sticky pads on a bike. An expensive kit perhaps, but still much cheaper than trading in against a Brompton Electric, and with better luggage options. I have seen a cheaper kit which seemed generally decent except that their battery installation used up the front luggage point without a bag option.

You are a master! The Nano design is a 'Triggers Broom' (Ship of Thsesus). Over 18 years it has had 3 controllers, 7 motors and 20 batteries to keep it fresh.

Excellent and clear instructions

Hi dave, love all the different ideas of e, bikes,, technology is great,, I'll stick to my cube stereo 160 E😁👍❤️🇬🇧

The bottom bracket on my cross-country hybrid bike often needs renewing after a wet winter. I am not very technical so I want to avoid having to disassemble a mid-drive just to replace the BB. This front hub option sounded v. quiet and just looks better. Thanks for the great camera work.

Two Bromptons modified some years ago. Slightly different preparation works on older Bromptons necessary but doable. Always headwinds in our country but Nano helps to sail against.

It’s not recommended to clamp a Brompton by the seatpost. The slightest crush on the post can prevent it dropping when folding the bike. Instead, you should clamp by the main frame tube.

Beautiful dog 🐶

Interesting video Dave. I have a Rail 5, great, but sometimes I wish I had a little assistance on my Giant Anthem X3 29er. I'd be interested to see a conversion on a proper mtb, the cost, the range, without the expense and even weight of a lightweight emtb.

Great alternative to Swytch. Just need to find the 27.5" version!

Thanks Dave for the clear and concise guide provided. Wondering where to get the nano kit and the cost of the kit. Do share what are needed beyond the standard Nono kit as I’m based out of UK. Chanced upon your video and I like it and have subscribed to ensure I continue to get more update from you. Keep up the great work and look forward to more update from you. Well done.

Ey up lad used to live up saga brig and in my view that hill up to norland ya gonna need a 3 ltr v8 on it lol

Are you not cracking on now you’re in your new gaf 😁

Is that a 75mm hub? Looks bigger? I hear Nano do do a 75mm hub though?

Nice....got a link to the motor conversion kit?....thankyou

I think that the E bike they sell is a little Too easy to peddle up the hills and it doesn’t go fast enough on the straights or downhill

Any chance of seeing you ride the Brompton bike please

As an owner of several Bosch 36 volt tools, and a LightweigthH6LXBrompton, this seems interesting! I may find a Homepage? 😄

how many motor watts?

I thought an after market electric power system on a bike doesn't need to be a pedelec rules fitting.? The older Sparticle system was a lot less complicated and you could have a normal front bag.

Why only one brake lever having the safety sensor.

Far more complicated than needed. Look at the Sparticle system from 14 years ago, no pedal sensor because a conversion of an old bike DOESN'T need a pedal sensor.

Well prices from 850£ seems high, so I will wait a little to see if I'm able to live without it.

Talking of wrangling Brompton tyres on and off, check out the lovely lady over at Brilliant Bikes. She can do it with her bare hands; no tyre levers involved. What's more, in one video she appears to do it while remaining seated!

But now your bag position is used up

Viel zu umständlich .... PENDIX ist wesentlich besser, einfacher, schneller, stärker, (fast) keine Kabel, unauffälliger .....

I think you would only do this if you are lazy and don't give a stuff about our planet because if you did riding the Brompton without a dirty great motor and battery attached is fine.
