Hi there,
I've been meaning to register on here for ages - should have done it sooner! Great site and some very helpful members.
I have been riding around and in and out of London for the past 10 years or so, but now commue in on the train.
The last couple of years I've been loving my Brompton (M3L), especially now commute from West Sussex. The Brompton is a gem for use on the train and the 1.5 miles from home to station and then station to the office.
We're moving house this week and will be living up the top of a hill which is another 0.5 mile on top of the already hefty 1.5 uphill (stand-up in 2nd gear) return cycle I do in the evening. The cycle home at the moment is just about acceptable for my reasonable fitness and to do in my work clothes, but I reckon the added half mile stand up hill would build cycling resentment pretty quickly!
So, been looking at fitting a Nano to my Brompton. Any recommendations, or things I should bear in mind? Anyone in London, around Sussex or nearby that fit these?
I've already got a Brompton bag that I could put the battery in. Would I also still be able to get my laptop in there?
I reckon I'll just go for the smallest battery as can charge it at my desk, and would only use the motor to help get me up the hill in the evening.
Anything else I should be considering??
Thanks all,
James
