2026 Brompton Electric C Line 4 Speed Mid Handlebar Matt Black Folding Bike NEW

The 2026 Brompton Electric C Line is a British-made steel folding bike redesigned with electric assistance for modern urban commuting. It takes the proven Brompton formula—compact fold, lightweight steel frame, practical geometry—and adds a rear hub motor with a removable 345Wh battery, giving riders an effortless way to tackle hills and longer distances without the extra effort. At 17.6kg, it's heavier than a mechanical Brompton but still reasonable for a bike this size and capability.

The 4-speed hub gears use Brompton's established drivetrain approach, paired with intuitive handlebar controls that include a Start Assist function to help get moving from stationary. The electric motor handles the heavy lifting on steep inclines and headwinds, while the battery gives around 90km of range depending on riding style and terrain. The steel frame is precision-engineered for durability, and the 16-inch wheels maintain the responsive handling and tight fold that Brompton riders expect.

Folding takes seconds—the bike collapses into a package small enough to stash under a desk, fit into a train luggage rack, or carry into an office or flat. The removable battery can be charged separately and kept topped up wherever you spend your day, which matters if you're splitting journeys between cycling and public transport. Caliper brakes with side-pull design provide reliable stopping, and the overall specification keeps maintenance straightforward without unnecessary complexity.

This bike suits commuters who want electric assistance but need something genuinely portable, or anyone cycling mixed-modal journeys where a bike has to fold and store as easily as it rides. The electric motor takes much of the friction out of urban riding—you're not fighting every junction or gradient—while keeping the bike's defining characteristic: it actually folds small enough to carry. This model is supplied new and sealed, complete with full Brompton warranty and a sales receipt for insurance and warranty purposes. Delivery is via ParcelForce Tracked 48.
