Supertramp

I could, just about, get a full sized bike inside but trying to lift it into the boat, through the doors and then taking up lots of living space isn’t ideal. Plus, with being in London and wanting to use transport, I’d need something that folds. Of course, I’d love a full sized machine but compromise is a must...

Perfect, thank you. I’ve pretty much settled on either the D11 or D4S. I like the slightly larger battery and look of the D11. I’ve also heard you can unlock it, though no idea what that actually means. With NHS discount I can pick it up for £800 so seems like a decent option.

It‘s wide enough for a king sized bed!

Narrowboats are narrow, but they’re not this narrow!

Thank you for this, I’ll have a look at each of these options. I’ve noticed the rapid increase in prices so want to get something sooner rather than later. How do you find your D11 for your commute? How many miles do you cover?

I’m sure the normal Bromptons are excellent and I enjoyed hiring one, in terms of faults I was referring to the electric version. A quick research suggests lots of owners feel it was a rushed afterthought and are plagued with problems. Absolutely, if I already had one, I’d electrify it, but as I don’t, I’m reluctant to buy one and then do this. So really looking for recommendations for other folding E-bikes.

Thank you for the reply. I was referring to the electric version, at close to £3000, I’ve read about a number of issues that result in going back to Brompton (meaning no bike for x time). I’ve tried a normal Brompton and enjoyed it but not sure I want the faff and expense of getting one and then getting it electrified (invalidating warranty…)

Good Morning! I was hoping to get some suggestions about appropriate folding e-bikes. I had initially wanted a Cube but I’m living on a narrowboat (thus needs to be foldable) and moving it to London, working as a doctor so will be commuting from wherever I’m moored to my hospital. Hoping to keep this distance at a maximum of 15 miles. I’ve discounted the Brompton (too expensive, too many niggly faults). I’ve come across Fiido and I’m very tempted in the D4S or D11 but can’t quite decide. If anyone has any other suggestions they would be gratefully received. Budget is around £600-£1000 (or more if on the cycle to work scheme). Thank you!
