Brompton Electric
The smart E-bike MADE FOR YOU
A Brompton Electric bicycle provides assistance when you need it, flying up hills or on a long journey for example. You can choose the level of assistance to suit your riding style.
CHARGE
Fold up and store your electric bike safely inside. Unclip the battery and charge at home, the office or on the go. Designed by world class engineers to fit all the technology and power needed into a small, lightweight and portable package.
UNFOLD
An electric folding bike you can take anywhere with you. Fold up and jump on the train. Unfold and make your next meeting. Use your Brompton Electric bicycle to hack the city's transport network and make it work for you.
GO FURTHER & FASTER
Feel unstoppable. The 300Wh battery means you can maintain 15mph with ease and fly through the city on your electric bike. With a range of between 25 and 50 miles from one charge (dependent on user and conditions).
LIGHTWEIGHT & PORTABLE
The battery (2.9kg) separates with one click from the lightweight electric bike (13.7kg) making it easy to carry, even on stairs. Accepted on trains, trams and metros; a folding electric bike you can take anywhere
SMART ENGINEERING
The system was designed together with Williams Advanced Engineering, combining their technical Formula E expertise to develop an electric bike motor that meets the complex demands of a Brompton. Smart sensor technology knows when to assist you.
ARRIVE FRESH
Smart sensor technology on the e-bike knows when to assist you. Ride up hills, into the wind and fly between meetings; always arriving fresh.

The smart E-bike MADE FOR YOU
A Brompton Electric bicycle provides assistance when you need it, flying up hills or on a long journey for example. You can choose the level of assistance to suit your riding style.
1. SENSOR
The robust sensor instantaneously measures your pedal torque and cadence to ensure a smooth assistance.
2. MOTOR
For its small size and low weight this 250W motor is more powerful and energy efficient than most of its rivals.
3. BATTERY
The high quality 300Wh lithium ion battery offers a riding range of 25 - 50 miles/40 - 80 km. The battery integrates into the front luggage giving easy access to the user interface and USB charging port.
4. CONTROLLER
This is the brain of the system. A sensor in the bottom bracket measures the riders cadence and power, a sensor within the hub motor measures the speed of the bike. The system analyses this data to determine how much assistance the hub motor gives.
The Brompton Electric is designed to change cities, it has smart features, a sleek design and is simple to use. The bike has 4 modes, ranging from no assistance (the bike rides smoothly without the battery) through to a high level of assistance, perfect if you want to arrive fresh to a meeting or are climbing a large hill. The key features and full specification details are in the table below, which lays out all the technical information about the bike.
