My other half is making noises about getting one to cycle to work (she's a doctor working in Bristol, we live in Bath). I am wondering whether the motor could deal with a ~55kg rider going up a 7% incline — North Road specifically — on the two speed or whether the six speed would be a better choice.
Would definitely be ok for what she has in mind. Its expensive but more to the point its a boat anchor - nigh on 17kg. You arms get to know it once you carry it the length of a train platform.
Has anyone tried/got the 'leccy Brompton?
