    Thank you - the large bag is for the Brompton electric and is made by them as an additional accessory. The battery sits in the middle of the bag with room either side for other stuff, external, extra pockets at the back too for more gear - hence it's so big.

    Hi guys, I am a keen cyclist (have been for many years) maintained my own road bikes, so I understand the 'steam powered' variety.
