Brompton Electric hands-on: A tiny folding e-bike for daily commutes CNET 3 hrs ago
Folded Brompton Electric
I ve been wondering if a folding electric bike makes sense for my apartment lifestyle. Currently I own a nonfolding e-bike, which takes up a lot of space in my office and is a huge hassle to lug up and down my stairs. So when Brompton reached out and asked if I wanted to try the Brompton Electric, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to see if that folding e-bike life is for me.
Brompton has been making folding bikes for over 45 years, but it recently entered the electric bike space. The e-bike the London-based company sent me is its standard six-speed model. It comes in two colors, black and Turkish green, and costs $3,800. There s also a two-speed model for $3,550, and you can upgrade the color of either to a blue lacquer color for an additional $250.
