Popped down to Compton Cycles in Catford this afternoon to have a go on their 2 speed electric Brompton.
Very fun; took it out for about 5 miles and went along to the Horniman taking as many hills as I could on the way. Even managed to haul myself up Canonbie which was a surprise, still had to out some effort in for that but not too bad.
The power of the assist it puts out feels much the same as the Gocycle (no throttle boost tho).
The option of riding it sans battery does appeal, which would make the 6 speed the better choice perhaps, not sure...
