WHY THE BROMPTON ELECTRIC IS A BIG DEAL
Brompton have been researching options for electrifying their famous folding bike for the past dozen years.
Every existing e-bike system was found wanting so Brompton made the bold decision to team up with Williams Advanced Engineering (the Formula One people).
The result is an e-Brompton whose beautifully integrated front wheel drive motor makes cycling comparatively effort free, without compromising the speed and ease of the legendary Brompton fold.
DO YOU LIVE IN A FLAT?
In a world where most e-bikes weigh around 25kg, the Brompton Electric stands out for being comparatively lightweight (around 17kg). This makes the Brompton Electric a far more viable e-bike if you have to carry it up stairs. Better still, the integrated battery and front bag (which account for three of these 17 kilos) can be unclipped in a second and carried on your shoulder to make the bike even easier to lift.
THE ULTIMATE CITY E-BIKE?
Famed for its fast fold, which enables compact storage and integration with public transport, a Brompton folding bike has always been about making city cycling easier. See our guide to Brompton Bikes.
Creating an e-Brompton with smooth, sophisticated power assist could be a game changer – especially for people who had previously looked upon cycling as too much like hard work. Know anyone like that? Suggest they pop down to Canonmills to experience the Brompton Electric for themselves.
