I recall when @r.hobbs asked about the electric Brompton:
It doesn't fucking work as much as it should. For the price point and the fact that Brompton had been developing it for 14 years...you would think they would produce a reliable e-bike thats not a boat anchor (17kg).
Owned one, it was ok. The fact that it failed and went back 12 times meant retailer took it back. Brompton employees (and their mechanics at the junction stores) who I know and I am regularly instructed by, confirm its shit.
Get a swytch kit or whatever it is called and get Ben at Kinetics to build a better fork - Ben ,unlike, Brompton, designs things that have stood the course of time.
OR get a retailer refund if still possible (I recall you worked at Cycle Surgery at some point so hope you bought elsewhere!) and buy a reputable ebike by a reputable ebike builder
Love to mum!
