Last year I gave up cycling due to lung cancer. I’d made a mistake changing to a non electric Brompton and found it too much for me having had half a lung removed! You’ll see from an earlier post I had a Compact 20 before the folder came into the fold. Advice please… I like the look of belt...

I’m sad to say I’ve had three electric Bromptons hoping they would improve. The last one was fine except it kept “throwing me off”…. It’s the motor powering up very quickly and on a surface with small amounts of gravel or grass… the steering goes haywire and I’d enter up on the floor! When I saw...

Good news! It appears the issue with the motor cutting out and lights flashing on the battery has been solved….. it has been a faulty catche on the battery frame. In the uk and hopefully worldwide, the dealers are replacing the catches free of charge

I have the Ortlieb trunk bag and find it brilliant. The adjustment is simple and grips the rack very firmly & I have the Ortlieb trunk bag and find it first class. It’s easy to adjust, grips the rack very securely and is easy to release. it’s simply the best trunk bag I’ve had (and I’ve had...

I have now used the APP for approx 100 miles and am very impressed.... the ability to change the power setting "on the move" is what the Brompton Electric needed from day one. OK its my third electric Brompton... the first was an unmitigated disaster and I received a full refund from...

At long last Brompton have released the APP for their electric bike. This was promised as “coming soon” when they launched their electric bike. I believed them and bought one of the very first straight from the factory. It never came, until now. The APP, on your iPhone, logs the distance covered...

A nice quick sale!

Cheers. I have changed the gears to five!!.

This is now in the Classified Section... for UK readers!

Due to health issues I’m selling my Cube Compact Hybrid 20. I have covered 107 miles and had its warranty service. I have added a front rack with an Ortleib bad attached by a Rixen Kaul quick release ( not shown in picture Cube Compact Hybrid The Compact Hybrid from Cube is a 20″ wheel...

Firstly I stand by my comments about how fantastic the Cube Compact 20 bike. It’s so smooth on the road with the bungee tyres and the 5 speed internal hub gearing is a delight to use... smoother than a derailleur and zero maintenance. Late 2020 I got the bike serviced, having covered about 100...

Hi... I also had problems fitting the rack, especially the lower bolts, but got there in the end. The main reason for replying is the thorny issue of the frame lock. The local dealer ordered one which didn’t fit, so I emailed Cube in Germany and asked the which one would fit and they confirmed...

Hi I agree with Lee, after the Brompton the cables do look rather haphazard to be polite, but the more important thing is reliably and the way it rides which is in a different league. I hope you managed to get out on the road before the snow! My bike is now covered up and waiting for the snow...

Firstly i want to say I had an H6R non electric Brompton and loved it. When I got the publicity information from Brompton about the electric version I ordered one..... I bought one of the first electric Bromptons in the uk. It had the same cutting out issues mentioned here. Cycle Heaven in York...

I had one of the first ones in the UK and had the same problems as you. It went back to the factory and (allegedly) had a new motor and controller fitted.... it was even worse so I got my money back. I waited over six months an thought I’d have another go as I missed the portability of the...

I had the same problem on my bike and I have a "Trigger Bell" which has a long enough strap to fit around a thick handle grip... the bell is sited underneath the grip and there's a "Thumb Trigger" to operate it. It's available from many outlets including Amazon...

I have been a great fan of Brompton for many years, latterly having a Brompton Electric 6 speed..... the fact you couldn't change power without stopping and pressing a button on the battery was "inconvenient" to be polite about it! Also wheelspin from the front hub was dangerous on even...

I’m looking at the S10, but would be interested if anyone has tried the P7i as the internal hub gear is very appealing. I’m rather worried that the “mech” on the S10 hangs very low.

Hi, I had a Brompton Electric but find that since I smashed my elbow the ride is a bit hard on 16” wheels. I like the look of the Gocycle GX folder but am interested in comments from people who have ridden the Brompton and the Gocycle.... it’s a big investment and there does seem to be a lot of...

Personally I think you did the right thing avoiding the Brompton Electric. I have had two... the first one, one of the first ones, kept cutting out and went back to the factory where, allegedly they replaced the motor and sensors... it was worse than before! I got a full refund from Brompton (in...
