Brompton claim that the Brompton Electric is designed to change cities which is a bold statement to make, but as we look increasingly towards clean sustainable personal transport in our urban areas they may have a valid point. The Brompton Electric has some smart features with a sleek design and is simple to use. With the press of a button you can select from 4 power modes, ranging from no assistance (the bike rides smoothly without the battery) through to a high level of assistance, perfect if you want to arrive fresh to a meeting or are climbing a large hill.
Don't mistake the Brompton Electric purely as commuter bike though, if you would like a top quality fast folding comfortable electric bike for more leisurely pursuits the Brompton will also make the ideal companion for a sunny days spent on in the saddle!
All of the Brompton Electric bikes come with the standard battery bag which has a pocket to fit your daily essentials or your charger. If you need a little more packing space you can opt for the additional 'Commuter' battery bag that has room for your larger items such as a laptop, folders or books as well as the power supply and more. There is also a fast-charger option available which will reduce the charging time by up to 50% so you can get on the road quicker if you're ever running low.
