Brompton Folding Bike With Or Without Swytch kit see description
The Brompton is a British-made folding bike built around a steel frame and designed for commuters who need to combine cycling with public transport or tight storage. The 16-inch wheels and compact fold make it easy to carry onto trains, buses, or store under a desk, and the steel construction gives it a robust feel that handles daily use well. The lateral fold mechanism works smoothly and becomes intuitive after a few attempts, collapsing the bike down to a package small enough to fit in a locker or cupboard.
This model comes in a 6-speed setup using hub gears with a side-pull caliper brake, which keeps the drivetrain low-maintenance and the braking straightforward. The 6 speeds handle urban hills without drama and provide enough range for mixed riding, whether that's rolling through the city or tackling a few gradients on leisure rides. The hub gear system is sealed from the elements, so there's little to service beyond the occasional cable adjustment.
The Brompton comes available with or without the Swytch electric assist kit. Without the kit, it's a conventional folding bike priced at £800. With the Swytch system fitted, it becomes an electrically assisted folding bike at £1200, adding motor assistance to help with hills or longer commutes if that's what suits your riding.
