Yep, does look pretty standard stuff, not sure about the battery connector though. But the Brompton is rim brakes on meagre 16" rims, so instant death on an electric bike, given some of the 'advice' I have seen ....................

USA region set, marketing blurb appears for the curious. Key Features: • Lightweight design – Maintains Brompton’s foldability and portability • Powerful 250W motor – Effortless riding with smooth power assist • Three battery options – Tailored to different riding needs • Easy installation – No...

...on the front bag block does look better than the TOPBIKEKIT setup; Difficult to comment on the rest, the bike shown is not a geniune Brompton, so who knows if it fits on a standard Brompton. The other issue, when buying from the far East, is to know whether the bits are standard easy to...

...not on my device. If you are not in the UK, you won't be able to see what I am seeing. Maybe you should say why you think that particular Brompton kit is good or better than others. It seems to be exactly the same price - just over £500 UK, so no obvious advantage over readily available...

A possible diagnosos/solution. I came to this problem a few days ago when my previously trouble free Swytch (Brompton ECO kit purchased in March 2021) experience was nudged off course by it developing an intermittent, alarming grinding noise from the motor area. I was assuming it was some...

I have an old fake aluminium framed Brompton made in Taiwan. It was called a 'Merc'. Long time ago, I rode it 4000 miles until the down-tube snapped and the seat tube suddenly became loose. I just went over a sleeping policeman and the swinging arm suspension banging on the top of the downtube...

The version with rear rack and roller wheels is about 15kg. The fat tyres do look 'cool', especially for social media posts etc, but they are a bit thin. I have fitted Marathon plus 20x1.75 tyres, adds about 500g to bike weight but I wanted good puncture resistance. The supplied Schwalbe...

Thanks both. That fat tyre Brompton looks pretty cool! Probably quite heavy but it's certainly different. Thanks for the info Stuart. I'll see if I can get test rides on both to compare.

Well, I have one, and it does ride very well indeed. More like a full sized bike really, completly different to a 16" Brompton. Much much better on pot hole infested roads. Its not as good in commuter bike mode, as in carrying on trains and busses, as the 16" Bromptons, but it still folds...

...he whizzed past me walking on the pavement the other night. Unusually, unlike most of the cyclists I see, he was using the road. Seems you can have everything you want for a price. Every bike thief will want to chase you down for this. https://www.kinetics-online.co.uk/fat-rohloff-brompton/

I might look at a used Brompton. I have seen them on the trains a few times and marvel at how small they fold up. The thing that puts me off a bit is the supposedly sketchy ride, although I admit I've never tried riding one. I live in the sticks and it's full of potholed lanes so I stick to...

Why not just buy a used Brompton and convert it. There are several kits designed specifically for them. It's a waste buying a new bike anyway because you lose any warranty as soon as you put the kit on.

...3 other full size bikes (BBSHD, BBS02 and TSDZ8 mid drives). I'm 15.5 st 5ft 11 but trying to lose a bit of weight. I might save up for a Brompton g line and look at converting that but they are a lot of money. I want something I could fold up easy to chuck in the boot of my Yaris. I've...

I wouldn't worry about all that stuff until he's found a motor that's going to work in it.

If there were a generic slide in style electrical battery\controller connector pair it should not be difficult to fit it to one of adapter plates that allow stuff to be connected to the Brompton bag block.

...choice, custom formed to fit your battery. Leave a hole for your battery wires. There don't seem to be any off-the-shelf small front boxes for Brompton, not that I can find anyway. I guess if you want to build electrical connections into the mount, you'll have to design and print your own...
