This is my main concern for buying a Brompton. I don't need it to commute to work but I would love to have a bike that's easy to take on the train and then ride to go visit castles and nature parks that are usually only accessible by car. However I can't take the bike with me into historical buildings so I would have to lock it outside. Considering how expensive they are, it would be just aweful if it got stolen. I'm not sure I if the convenience if offers outways the financial risk.

Thanks for the tips. Very helpful 😊

Hi, nice video! Do you think it's possible to replace the single wheel of the rear mudguard with an Omniwheel? If it's possible, could you also tell me what parts are needed for the modification? Thanks a lot

This information is exactly what I wanted to hear. Your explanation helped me change my tires. The success in this maintenance of my Brompton gave me a lot of positive emotions. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hi there , i enjoy your video , it gives good ideas , i am intrested to buy à Brompton bike... they say not more than 100 kg total ... is it true by your experience... i am 84 kg and i want to do some cycling touring ... in total it will be a little more than 100 kg... thank you for your time !!! Sincerely yours Luc

I just bought 2 Brompton C6’s at the Bleeker Street Manhattan Store. I had the worst experience imaginable with the manager of,p the store selling me the bikes. I live in Sydney Australia and NYC. Many of my road bike cycling club members in Sydney also have Bromptons. I was already sold on the bike. The manager of their flagship store in NYC is not a cyclist and made folding and unfolding the bike look awkward and difficult. She did not know the name of the Greenway, the bicycle and walking path all around Manhattan, 5 minutes from her shop. It is the most used bike path in all of the U.S. She sent me on the worst possible way to get to the Greenaway because she is not a cyclist. She made buying these very expensive folding bikes anything but a pleasure. The other employees at the shop were great but nothing compared to the Brompton store in Sydney where I originally test rode the Brompton for the first time. Everyone in that shop were very knowledgeable, professional and very friendly. The London office gave me a $100 gift certificate for the torture I endured with their totally incompetent manager of their Bleeker St store. I will not ever go back there except to get my first free tune up and cash in my $100 gift certificate. Luckily REI works on Bromptons if I have a problem in years to come

In livello 3, l'assistenza elettrica riesce a supportare fino a salite con pendenza massima del 15%? E per quanti chilometri riesce a supportare salite con pendenza del 15%, senza che il motore vada in blocco e si spenga a causa del surriscaldamento eccessivo? È questa la domanda a cui il tuo ottimo test (su tutti gli altri aspetti), purtroppo, non da alcuna risposta.

Don’t use your fingers to check the tyre for the cause of the puncture….A piece of metal or thorn can rip your fingers open. Use a rag - anything except your fingers!

Great video!

Are you still around? Hope all good with you man.

Just to damn expensive

Just.... "DON'T!"

I recently started using a kids bike trailer for groceries, can use the trailer as a trolley cart in the shop ☺️

I ordered the Brompton X Bear Grylls with matching front backpack and steerweel pouch. My main question is which light set is the best visible and not getting blocked by big front backpacks?

Thanks for this video just bought my first Brompton it was very helpful 👍

It looks like you are stealing lol

un PRIX ... une QUALITéE ! !!

So… you’re wearing a facemask for personal health reasons but on the other hand you put your dirty bike with which you potentially drove through poop etc inside your shopping cart where other folks will be putting their groceries… nice… that’s why it also annoys me when people put their kids inside shopping carts with their shoes on. And i’m not talking about infants that are put in the trolley cart seat, but older children that are very well able to walk by themselves…

I'm not from Atlanta

Enjoyable video, brother

Recent Brompton owner, and very longstanding road biker used to changing tubes on 700c tires. I can usually swap out a tube on front or rear tires on those bikes in just a few minutes with a tire lever and nothing else. This is a bit daunting looking and I obviously need to practice a few times at home before I'll feel confident doing this on the road. I guess I also need to stop procrastinating and buy that Brompton toolkit. Thanks for this very helpful video. BTW, I've worked in a bike shop and, while I do occasionally use a lever to put a tire back on the rim, I've been told lots of time not to do that due to danger of pinching the tube and creating another leak.

Hi Victor, I'm a bit late to your channel but as part of my research into the Brompton electric I came across your content and have enjoyed it. I also liked your grocery shopping bag review. I have since ordered a BE which will be my 1st Brompton that is due to arrive any day soon. I'm also wondering if I'm going to be able to resist taking it out for a spin as soon as it's unboxed even though the forecast here 🇬🇧 is heavy rain for the next few days.

It looks like it's made for tiny people with long arms and legs

Why would anyone pronouce Bushings and Compound that way

yeah the cost does make sense if you need power now. strap it on your back and power bank it and you're probably better off.

Where are you Victor ? We miss you, your review 😢

A problem i’ve encountered is when folded and you rotate the right pedal backwards so it’s snug up against the rear tyre, the chain loosens and dangles free, the pedal then rotates back into its not snug position and the chain the pulls taught again…it’s only just started doing it so a tad annoying. The bike is clean and the chain tensioner has been taken off and cleaned thoroughly as i thought that was the problem. I wonder if one or more chain links is stiff ? Thoughts ???

Thank you. Me again, a grateful subscriber. Saw this 3 yrs ago and needed a refresh on some of these. Happy trails. 🎶🐾🎶

Loved every single one of those hacks. Many thanks for All Your Great Videos.

3:24 in any cases, shifting gears while going a steep uphill is not advisable as you’re in a risk of having chain cuts. It’s advisable to shift before the ascend

Disillusioned

👍👍👍

I loved your review of this bike, and really want to buy one now! Thank you for your thoughtful, well-explained details. The hidden features, like the tool kit, were a surprise! So much care has gone into making this beautiful folding bike!

I got my Brompton (C-Line 6 speed, ocean blue) last friday. It took me some time to get used to the folding process; I also wasn't aware of the fact that pulling the saddle tube all the way out will unlock the fold. But now I am already much more confident in my folding technique. What really surprised me so far is how fast I can go with this bike. You'd never believe that if you see this thing for the first time. But it's incredible comfortable to ride. The only big difference to a "normal" bike I have come across so far is that the handle bar is very narrow and it's dangerous to steer with only one hand, you really need both hands. I already took it into a bus, and kept it between my legs - incredible, such a tiny package. Update: in the meantime I had some more rides with it, I also took it from my hometown Luzern to Zürich (it's a 45 minutes train ride on a VERY crowded train). It was a sunny sunday and there already were bikes on board of the train. They have to use special bike lots where you need to hang the bike upside down, and the lots have to be booked in advance and are in great demand. With the brompton you just put it in front of you in the corridor. It's tight but it does work, even when all seats are occupied. And even it that wouldn't work you still could just stand and put it between your legs, that always works. Best would be to put it into one of the baggage lots, however putting it there naked felt dangerous as the delicate parts are put onto the ground. It think it would be best to use a protecting bag for this. Anyway, it was so great to be able to ride through Zürich with the brompton and after that, just fold it and board the train back - any train you like. While with a reservation you're bound to a specific time and the weather was unstable, so you could end up having to stay for hours in Zürich while it's raining and you have to park your regular bike somewhere outside... There really is something about the brompton that is magical. I always look forward to my next ride with it.

THEY DID NOT HAVE WHITE in 2000 for Brompton. 😂

Well done. You made that look easy. Having said that, I probably wouldn't attempt it myself. I'm much more likely to struggle to my local bike shop and get them to do it, especially if it was a rear wheel puncture. Regarding the psi, I set both tyres to 80psi, which is what the manual recommends but I noticed you said 100 is better. This is based on experience? Thanks again.

Just don't

No point having a solar setup where I am, in the North of England.

I had a good snort at the pizzas and beer being essentials.
