Brompton Electric C Line 6-Speed Folding Bike - Gold Lacquer - One Size

This is a Brompton Electric C Line folding bike in the rare gold lacquer finish, a British-made steel-framed design that folds down to fit in tight spaces. The 6-speed hub gear and 16-inch wheels are typical of Brompton's compact approach to urban cycling, and the electric motor adds genuine range for commuting without the weight penalty of a heavier e-bike. The frame uses Brompton's lateral fold, which means the bike collapses neatly enough to slip under a desk or into a hallway corner when you're not riding.

The gold lacquer colour is genuinely striking in daylight – it's the sort of finish that catches the eye, and this one has had light use so it's in excellent condition functionally. The bike comes with an extended seat post fitted, and it's sized as a standard Brompton, so it works across most rider heights. The mechanical warranty is still valid and all the paperwork is included, which matters when you're buying a premium British folding bike.

The real practical advantage here is the choice of carrier bags – either small or large – that slot onto the front rack. The power pack sits neatly inside, out of sight, and the larger bag is genuinely useful for commuting, fitting a laptop and lunch without fuss. It's the kind of thought that makes daily riding less hassle than it sounds. The bike was recently serviced in November, with brake and gear cables replaced, all cables adjusted, the hub gear toggle chain replaced, and everything else tightened and lubricated for winter. That level of maintenance means you're buying a bike ready to ride properly, not one that needs work after delivery.

There are minor cosmetic marks – nothing that affects how it rides – and it handles the practical demands of London commuting well. The bike comes with free delivery or collection within London.
