What’s going on with her electric?
I don’t give approval to any aftermarket kits, the stock parts are just not set up for them. Maybe if you swapped the fork to a Kinetics, used an electric brom stem etc

The battery repeatedly failed. Then the the connection pointed failed, then the motor failed. Then the motor would randomly kick in when she wasn’t pedalling.
She has always had a Brompton (she still has her original from the early 80’s) hence being an early adopter for the eBrompton. I’ll message Ben and see what he suggests.

@R.Hobbs whats the best Brompton electric conversion kit? My mum's eBrompton has gone wrong for the 6-7th time in 6 months. She has been without the bike longer than she has had it so Brompton is giving her a refund.
Due to poor health, she needs an e-bike so I'd like to convert her old M6L Superlight. Swytch seems to be the most popular but I am concerned about reports of the fork/hinge failing. She is tiny 5'1" 50kg and will only be riding it along the canal (flat) a couple of times a month. Any recommendations?
