2019 Brompton Electric C Line Explore 6 Speed + Extras (One Size) - Used

This 2019 Brompton Electric C Line Explore is a British-made steel folding bike built for urban commuting with electric assistance and genuine range. The compact fold packs down to around 645mm by 565mm in under 20 seconds, making it small enough to carry onto trains or store in a tight flat, whilst the 17.4kg weight is manageable for regular lifting. The steel frame and reinforced electric-specific fork are hand-brazed and heat-treated to handle the extra load and stress that comes with motor assistance.

The gearing uses a 6-speed wide ratio system combining a 3-speed internal hub with a 2-speed derailleur, which gives genuine flexibility across different gradients without the maintenance demands of a full derailleur setup. The shifts are smooth through the range, and the internal hub particularly suits urban stop-start riding where reliability matters more than speed. The 250W brushless hub motor runs on a 300Wh 36V lithium-ion battery mounted in the front bag, which is removable for charging and delivers between 20 and 45 miles depending on how much assistance you use. Three levels of smart pedal assist mean you can dial the help up on steep climbs or save battery for flatter sections.

The removable battery bag pulls double duty as luggage with a 1.5L capacity and integrates a 5V USB port to charge your phone whilst riding. Two chargers come with the bike—the standard one and a faster option—so you can keep one at home and one at work. The full mudguards with rubberised flaps handle wet weather properly, and the integrated Busch & Müller front lamp and Spanninga rear lamp mean the bike is ready for commuting in all conditions. The app connectivity works on iOS and Android if you want to track range or adjust settings, though the bike runs fine without it.

As a used 2019 model, this bike shows honest signs of city use—the seatpost has some discolouration—but the motor and battery systems are fully functional and work smoothly. The drivetrain shifts without hesitation, the folding mechanism operates cleanly, and the Brompton dual pivot calipers provide reliable braking across the 16-inch rims. The bike comes with the larger Brompton front bar fitted as standard. This is a straightforward electric folder for someone who needs real range, reliable gears, and the ability to take the bike with them on public transport without fuss.
