  • Has anyone tried/got the 'leccy Brompton?

    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.

  • i have, its ok.

    you can get decent (non folding) electric bike for that money

  • I have done a 12% hill, after 6% for about 1/2 miles, 100kg rider, 15kg trailer 12kg human + child items!

    SJScycles have m and h type demos plus offer endless custom options

  • Had one. Its ooookkkkaaay.

    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.

  • Once MUD DOCK is back open you can come in and have a go on the DEMO bike.
