    Brompton Electric Bike... Made by Brompton

    The motor comes in when there is torque on the pedals (mainly the left pedal), and power by the motor is adjusted to match torque from the pedal. More torque on the pedal = higher power from the motor. With the firmware update the motor kicks in at lower torque from the pedal. Uphill always...

    Brompton Electric Bike... Made by Brompton

    I now had the firmware updated from 1.0.0 to 1.0.2. When they update the firmware it shows them how many km you have done (360 in my case) and how many on each of the 3 modes. The update makes the bicycle much more responsive, probably by lowering the torque threshold. One can immediately feel...

    The Brompton brakes got much better since 2004 and you can retrofit the new brakes easily. As on all rim brakes you have to mount your wheel properly.

    Brompton Electric Bike... Made by Brompton

    I just bought a Brompton ebike and had to return it for repair after a week. Basically, the front hub once warm made load clunking noises. The problems with lights blinking I did not have. I did about 50-60 miles and was quite happy. As there is no app I couldn't read out anything. They also...
