I have bought a Brompton hard case at your store. It’s nice to know you make videos.
Excellent video. I hope Brompton look at it and learn something re' how to present information, their own website could not be described as easy to get information from.
RIP, NYCeWheels ....
Thank you for selling me my Brompton. It's brought me a lot of joy.
Ya too focused on Brompton and stopped selling their version of an electric Brompton years before Brompton offered their version because Brompton told them to stop because they were working on their own version. Sad.
I saw this a few weeks ago. Perfect explanation and much needed. I looked everywhere for something this simple and made my choice off the back of it. Picked 'Bert' up yesterday. Thanks matey 👍🏼
Awesome! Enjoy your Brompton :)
Excellent video. Very informative. Well presented.
I didn't realise riding a push iron was so complicated and it made Muricans so thankful
Very thorough video, nicely done sir!
concise and clear thank you
Thank you. That was most helpful.
Really helpful vid - thank you. It would be good to know more about gearing, you know, what sizing of gearing comes with th different Brompton options? Thanks.
Very good clear explanation, well done.
Sorry to hear that Nyce wheels have closed for good. I feel bad for all the employees loosing their jobs. At very little warning. It was a breat established bike shop.
Thank you for sharing this . I am in the process of getting my Brampton for last mile commute problem .. which do you think best suits .. it predominantly flat terrain
This is a much needed video!
Brilliant video Thank you 👍👍 x
Thank you! :)
Having both an M3L and an H3R at my disposal, I can say that the latter is my first choice for my daily commute through cross-town traffic, onto the trains and then some heavy innercity traffic and vise versa. It rides a bit slower and is more heavy, but it is very sturdy (and stable on board the rickety trains they use here) and more comfortable, the B&M LED lights add a good visibility into the mix. The M3L I use for fun, on longer trips and on empty roads.
You ride your Brompton on the train? Why?
@@pali_aha2781 well now there's a pandemic, the trains are quite empty so you could actually ride it on board the trains should you choose to do so 😉

Nice take and very clear details for beginners, before they start their own modification that is.. :-) Will add Chinese subtitle when I have time.
Thanks for the info's
Wow,very Helpful
Hello there. Is the 3 gear version good for most hills?. Or am I better opting for the 6 speed?
I’m trying to start into cycling as what will be a good choice to start?
Hi ! Wads the average speed km/h can 2gear n a 6gear brompton go? Thx
Thank you
Very clear explanation! I had a doubt. I'm planning to do the Great Allegheny Passage trail on a Brompton, so how would a 3 speed fare on it vs a 6 speed?
You'll definitely want a 6 speed for any kind of touring rides, the gear range will make climbing hills much easier, and it will also be easier to pedal through the packed dirt trail when you have lighter gears.
Superb 👌🏼
It's possible to have single speed than upgrade to 6 speed or change handle bar?
Straight outta Brompton !!!
LOL Dude, you're everywhere.. Don't forget your B-Walk(Brompton)!
For the Brompton with 6 gears is there label on the hub with the words "wide ratio"? or there are two versions - standard and wide ratio? another question - the fastest Brompton is with the 6 gears?
Hi! Great video. I'm looking to modify my 2-speed S Brompton for better rolling through airports. I'm an airline employee, and I'll be rolling it from the plane to the hotel van, to the room, etc. It has no rack now. Should I invest in a minimalist rack and fender wheel setup? Step right up to the full rack? Just get larger Easy wheels? Where should I start? Thanks.
i know you posted a long time ago, but if you're still looking, you can get extender wheels - they're custom parts, and they cost £70 or so like here www.londoncraftwork.co.uk/Eazy_Wheels_Extender_for_BROMPTON/p4666612_18419632.aspx
My preferred config will be either the P6R or the S6R
Just a comment from the UK perspective: you mentioned big and small rings which would normally refer to the chainset whilst you I think intended to refer to the twin sprockets at the rear.
Thankyou for a precise and understandable video. I have 2 questions.
1, I am 5’1” with a short body and arm reach and prefer an upright cycling position. Would the H handlebars be suitable for me?
2, Are Brompton suitable for country cycling on gravel or cycleways made from old railway tracks? Thankyou.
Valerie PenroseE-Lock Hi there, I’ll recommend the M handlebars. Brompton are designed for either city or long distance riding, so if you want to do some gravel ride, you can choose the fender-less version and put slightly wider tyres on your Brompton. Hope it helps.
I have the h6r. Rode 10 miles last week.
Black versus chrome brakes, any difference? Old saddle versus new any difference?
I like the Brompton but I just heard you have to replace tons of parts every 5k miles. is this true?
I want to buy one for my wife who is 4'11" but I also want to use it once in a while. From what I can see the handlebar stem actually is one size except for the H series. Please confirm
True, being folding imposes a lot of constraint on the design. You can, however, rotate the handlebar to make it higher or lower and closer to the rider. Ebay also sells a "Brompton LitePro Handlebar Stem Height Riser Extender" that lets you add a bit more height, again rotating it or not. For that you'll need a hex wrench.
do you have ultimate version of brompton to show us with every upgrade possible? haha thx
How long does the battery last?
Do you think a brompton is a good bike to learn to ride on? Basically just make it easier to learn - since it has smaller wheels?
The smaller wheels actually make the steering a bit more responsive to minor movements, which might be more of a challenge for a beginner rider. Larger wheels will be easier to learn to ride on, but when you're comfortable with your riding a Brompton is certainly a very unique and practical bike to own.
Thanks for your reply!
Great established bike shop
hello guys do you have the verge x18 in your shop or if not can you guys order it?
As of this very moment, we do have a Verge X18 in our shop, and we can always order them if needed :) Come by any time to check it out!
I definitely would like to see it.. before i invest.. hopefully oneday you guys would have it in display.
We have it on display!
Ohh you do.. sorry i misread. Where in new york you guys located?
353 E 58th St Manhattan. Right around the corner from 1st Ave.
Can you add a rack to the L style ???
请问选3速还是6速比较好呢？谢谢
You've left out the bit where you have to practice the sneering look combining contempt with pity for use when addressing riders of non-Brompton folders :-)
You already look dopey on your children's folding toy bicycle. Don't make it worse.
I've got a Brompton and a 20" wheel Dahon. The Dahon is a better ride, the Brompton folds better, horses for courses I guess!
Brompton, Long Beach, Inglewood !
Why the brake levers like that so low ??? Vertical position.??
living in uk brompton is the best but here in canada brompton wheels are too small .
I want kne
Bromtpon!
Nice, but you should have had another option, which is the lightning on the Brompton...
We'll have that for a future video!
The options covered are those that define how a Brompton is called - for example, mine is a Brompton H3L: highest handlebars, 3 speeds, fenders only. There are loads of other options, but those don't affect the 'model number', as it were.
It's nice to see a NORMAL bodied person ride a bike.
I feel out of place when I ride a bicycle since
I don't have arms the size of my wrist 🥢
and I don't wear leotards when I ride a bicycle 👙👶🏻🍼
Was going to watch but cba to many ads.
This bike is so expensive on evey way that you have to think twice before buying !! The price of the bike and cost of the parts !! Most of the parts are of low quality!!
Have you managed to pick one up yet?
🚴🏼🚴🏼🚴🏼
I've been riding this bike for about a month czcams.com/users/postUgkxwC0IIeIomGQVeBWg-kKJaToZkLEFIA2W and a half now and I think it's fantastic. It helps me get to work on time every day since I'm able to fit it inside of public transportation rush hour. The price is great too, people are always shocked when they ask me how much I paid for the fold up and I tell them "200". It's easy to fold and installation when it ships is insanely easy. All you have to install when the bike arrives is one foot pedal, everything else is done for you. I do recommend you carry some sort of wrench to tighten any loose screws on the handle bar and seat whenever they get a little bit loose. Other than that I think it's a fantastic bike. Easily fits in the home, can fit inside a car trunk and can even fit in subway rush hour.
Succinct! Wish you had also covered the A line, C line etc
