December 23, 20223 yr The new kits are supplied with a bag. You can still ride in the rain. Key advanatages: lightweight, preserve the folding mechanism and luggage block. They do not come with lock and keys like before but installation is now simpler. There are 3 cables coming out of the bag: PAS, LCD and motor. You fit the PAS, LCD, replace the front wheel with a motor wheel and connect up. There are two models: 36V 10AH good for about 30-35 miles and 36V 15AH good for about 50 miles. These kits are about the most efficient weightwise for the range that they are capable of. Pricing: with 36V10AH £499 with 36V 15AH: £599 Available frpm 03-Jan-2023 when we get back to work. Picture below is of the 36V 10AH
December 24, 20223 yr Are the Brompton brake levers replaced? They just don't look anything like ours [2022], but I am aware they have used different ones, both in previous times and still in various 2022 models.
December 25, 20223 yr Are the Brompton brake levers replaced? They just don't look anything like ours [2022], but I am aware they have used different ones, both in previous times and still in various 2022 models. The Brompton in their photo is the B75 base model which uses older components like levers, handlebars, gears etc. Newer Brompton’s have updated components. They‘re great bikes aren’t they! I got a 2019 M3L Brompton.
December 25, 20223 yr You might think this an odd question, but is your kit plug compatible with the front wheel motor that would be fitted on a Swytch Brompton conversion ?
December 25, 20223 yr Author it has a standard 9-pin motor connector (3 phases, 3 hall sensors and speed sensor) so it should be able to run with any motor fitted with the same connector.
December 26, 20223 yr it has a standard 9-pin motor connector (3 phases, 3 hall sensors and speed sensor) so it should be able to run with any motor fitted with the same connector. OK thanks. I do like my Swytch Electric Brompton, so handy for shopping and stuff, I keep it by the front door. So useful do I find it that I have been thinking for a while to have a 'spare' setup ready to hand in case there was an issue with the current setup. Do you know how much weight your conversion adds to a Brompton ? Are spare batteries available ?
December 26, 20223 yr Author Do you know how much weight your conversion adds to a Brompton ? just under 3kgs Are spare batteries available ? yes.
December 29, 20223 yr just under 3kgs yes. Thanks, I will await it appearing on the Website. I do like to think ahead and find my Swytchified Brompton so handy, that I would like a spare setup, and battery, ready to hand. Another Swytch setup is maybe not the way to go, given the fold issues with that setup. And I keep hoping someone might steal (sic) my current Brompton which would force me to buy a new Titanium one, at circa 8kg ................
December 29, 20223 yr And I keep hoping someone might steal (sic) my current Brompton which would force me to buy a new Titanium one, at circa 8kg ................ You can be quite sure someone will steal your Titanium Brompton if you ever get one.
December 29, 20223 yr And I keep hoping someone might steal (sic) my current Brompton which would force me to buy a new Titanium one, at circa 8kg ................ Shouldn't be hard to manage.
December 29, 20223 yr You can be quite sure someone will steal your Titanium Brompton if you ever get one. Get mugged you mean ? That one of the issues I guess, the T-Line Brompton does look real expensive, and light so easy to run off with, even folded. Whereas my current (20 year old) one does look a bit battered and aged.
February 2, 20233 yr they are available now. I will update the Woosh website tomorrow. Seen it, thanks. Good prices. Do you have a picture of it folded ? Is the battery removeable for charging ?

Whereas my current (20 year old) one does look a bit battered and aged. 1. Photograph rust spots. 2. Ask a commercial print shop to size and print them onto sheets of clear vinyl wrap. 3. Cut out and stick those onto your titanium frame at visually disappealing locations.
February 2, 20233 yr In times gone by, I had a custom built Reynolds 531 double butted frame, with sloping forks, the bees knees of road bikes at the time. After a crash (not my fault) I had it repaired and re-sprayed. It looked so good, brand new shiny, expensive, that it was an obvious target, there were very few fancy bikes on the road then. So to make it look 'ordinary' I painted it with red and blue matt hamerite, did not look so good then.
February 2, 20233 yr So to make it look 'ordinary' I painted it with red and blue matt hamerite, did not look so good then. Paint could flake off superflexy titanium tube, adding to the uglfication effect...

Happy to help.
February 2, 20233 yr Many small balls and streaks of snot-coloured superglue+baking soda, could adhere well.
February 2, 20233 yr W3W address of your regular parking spot please? Happy to help. Been trying another 'I can buy one' tactic. Going out walking in the local streets, especially when its been icy. If I 'accidently' fall and injure my wrist(s) then a lighter bike would be a justifyable medical necessity.
February 2, 20233 yr Been trying another 'I can buy one' tactic. Going out walking in the local streets, especially when its been icy.

It's already happened in the universe of your mind - hit "Select model" https://www.brompton.com/t-line
February 2, 20233 yr Author Seen it, thanks. Good prices. Do you have a picture of it folded ? Is the battery removeable for charging ? you fold it like you do normally, except that the front of the bike feels a lot weightier. In fact, the front of the bike weighs 3kgs more than before. Is the battery removeable for charging ? yes, but it's a bit of a faff. I would just charge it where it is. The charging connector is the unconnected yellow XT plug. The kit is supplied with a SANS 3A fast charger, fitted with XT plug. You can't get it wrong with XT plug even with cold hands. I was thinking of asking the factory to fit a security loop so customers can padlock the bag but time was tight.
