I think we are just annoyed and concerned with this new product is that we expect a higher standard from them.
I understood this as soon as I test rode the electric brompton. It looked and felt like someone has designed and built it in their shed and they had/have the gall to ask £3.5k for it.
Brompton design is mostly shit. It kind of works. Its niche and unique and thats why people like it. Their ethos is too rigid and the CEO has Steve Jobs syndrome.

Don't get me wrong, the design is amazing and rather elegant in my eyes.
Plus when the shifting works it is nice to have that range of gears compared to my 2 speed without compromising the weight. My partner has an aftermarket 5 speed and this does not shift as nicely as the Brompton.
