Only at the bike show. The battery bag is better than diy solutions but the motor is just a typical bafang or similar chinese hub motor(tech hasn't moved in 10 years+). I dislike that wheels/rims won't match using these kits(or any of the similar kits).
They occupy a weird bit of the market I can never get my head around tho so I'm always going to be a bit meh about them.

I guess in our case we'd both like ebikes for commuting purposes.
For me, I just can't face exercise that early in the morning and often find myself sacking off the bike for the train, then regretting it by the end of the day.
For my other half, her route is longer and has some pretty unavoidable hills, no showers at work either.This option has attracted us over the official Brompton electric as it is completely removable so we can have 'stock' bikes for weekend and fun rides.
The battery bag solution looks a bit better than Brompton's own as it doesn't monopolise the luggage block.
It's also a total saving of about £1250 over the official ebike for what looks like very similar tech!
@Clockwise you tried their kit out yet?
Any thoughts?
