Is it for you?
We have not ridden this bike. This read is based on the spec sheet and Australian seller information, not a test ride.
Best suited to
City professionals who want the world's most recognisable folder with e-assist. The Brompton fold is the smallest and most reliable available.
Standout strength
The Brompton fold. 20 seconds, smallest footprint of any e-bike in this directory. Fits in a bag. Train travel, office under desk, apartment storage.
The main compromise
300Wh battery is small and non-swappable. The front-hub motor is less efficient on hills than a mid-drive.
Consider something else if
You are primarily motivated by range or value for money. The Brompton is a lifestyle premium purchase.
Check before you buy
The Brompton dealer network in Australia is smaller than 99 Bikes. Check service availability in your city.

What is the range of the Brompton C Line Electric?

How much does the Brompton C Line Electric weigh?
