What do you think of the Brompton Electric?! Buying one? Using our link supports Ebike Escape: alnk.to/8iTwjxj

This is the most detailed review of Brompton I have ever seen on KZfaq. So nicely explained. I have tern folding bike. And looking forward to own Brompton electric. Let us see when ....

Brompton is like the Bentley of the folding-bike world. I'm saving up to buy this electric model as a bike for my daily commutes.

The 6 speed is really warranted in my hilly city. I tend to use it mostly as a regular bike and switch on the assistance for steep hills or when I can't afford to sweat. Also knowing that I have the option always ease my mind when I feel too lazy. The handling of the bike is very special and one needs to get use to it. But it's very nice to zigzag around cars on the street or around people on mixed path.

Just got the two speed, and it's plenty fast enough on the flat and minor rises in high gear. A mile long climb near me is dooable and will put necessary hairs on your chest on the lower gear. As long as you don't need to do a mountain descent it's fine, and light.

They should add a plugin to the battery for an LCD display on handlebars to show speed, battery life, pedal assist mode, plus buttons to control the pedal assist mode.

I've just received a Flit16 electric folder and looking forward to seeing how it compares! It doesn't fold quite as small as the Brompton, but it's so tidy without extra wires because the battery is integrated into the top tube

Very nice review view ! At less than half that cost the Magnum Classic is very well made 20'' folding bike .

Velowave Vroom! Love it!

Great review thanks 👍😃🤘😎

Hi, Good review. May I ask whether the actual bike you tested had an older style direct drive hub OR a newer geared hub?

Excellent review but I would like to add: The bag is not suitable as a handle for wheeling!!!!! You can use the (unfolded) handlebars, as you show, or leave the seat post up and use the saddle. If doing the latter, it will be necessary to use a frame strap to keep the bike folded as the lowered seat post normally serves to lock the folded position. The hub gear is a super wide ratio 3 speed specially made for Brompton. The derailleur gear halves the step between the hub gears as well as providing an extra top and bottom gear. The derailleur mechanism is a modified chain tensioner that is there anyway on all Bromptons as part of the folding design.

You missed the hidden side pocket on the City bag where you have a yellow rain cover for the bag. The Brompton electric following the EU regulation for electric assisted bike. Maximum 250 W motor and only assist up to 25 km/h (15.5 mph). But my opinion is it working very well. You get the help in strong winds against you and up for steep hills. At the same time you still get some exercise.

How the hell are you recording yourself? A drone? Great review by the way

I do having my Brompton bike next week. I hope it's ok for me..

Had to get a gel seat Wish the battery bag would cover the top when it rains ugh

Great review and awesome bike. Does your city bag also include a yellow reflective rain cover which is stashed in a pocket on the right side of the bag?

I hope I can find some stock of this bike, sounds perfect for what I want!

Really Informative

I wish they made this in Bulgaria so as to lower the price.😬

Very helpful= thanks

07:55 what is the torque of the motor?

A nice e-folder, too much exposed cabling. Good review

Nice!!!😎🔥💯

How steep was that hill? Your legs seemed to be going pretty fast! I have a BE and I often find that going up a gear gets more assistance from the motor - it requires more effort from you so the torque sensor gets the motor to do more. You can then relax a bit! .

Any idea if the Brompton ebike will get me around hilly San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle? I’m in the hills around Griffith Park Los Angeles (Hollywood Hills)

Is this the ML or HL? What is your height?

The thing is, if you only use the assist when you need it, it just goes and goes.

When will Brompton come with a titanium version of EBike

Hi. Greetings from Argentina. How do you compare in terms of confort an effort the Bromton witj a 20 inch foldable bike such as Tern or Dahon?

👍👍👍

Bike on you shoulder blow my mind xD

Riding through London, stopping at traffic lights I would be very, very worried about that battery being stolen......

Thanks for the indept review, I was already thinking on buying it but you pretty much convinced me. Guess I have to start saving my money for it. XD Just one question if you can, can you partially recharge the battery by cicling, a bit like what eletric motor bikes do with their regenerative breaking?

Assalamualaikum bosku

How do you say Bag? Lol

Nice bike but $4,000? No way! Over priced at $2,000.

All sold out period
