Brompton M6L Electric City Turkish Green 2021 - Used Twice

This is a Brompton M6L Electric, a British-made steel folding bike from 2021 finished in Turkish Green. It's barely been used—just twice—which means the mechanics and components are essentially in new condition. The Brompton is designed for urban commuting and the kind of mixed-use journeys where you need a bike that can fold away quickly and fit into tight spaces: under a desk, into a train luggage rack, or the boot of a car.

The frame is steel, which gives the bike a solid, reassuring feel underfoot, and the lateral fold mechanism is Brompton's signature design—it's become second nature once you've done it a few times. The electric motor means hills and headwinds require less effort than on a standard Brompton, making longer commutes or days with a heavy load altogether more manageable. The 16-inch wheels are typical for Brompton, keeping the bike compact and easy to manoeuvre through traffic, though they do demand a bit more pedal revolutions on longer flat stretches compared to larger wheels.

The drivetrain uses Brompton's six-speed hub gears with side-pull caliper brakes, which is a straightforward, low-maintenance setup suited to stop-start city cycling. Hub gears mean no exposed cables or derailleurs to damage during the fold, and they shift smoothly at a standstill, which is useful when waiting at lights or negotiating congested streets. The electric assist handles the grind of urban riding without needing to add fitness to your commute.

At this point in its life, with just two outings behind it, the bike is virtually untouched. It suits anyone wanting a compact, motorised commuter that doesn't demand much maintenance and folds small enough to carry upstairs or stow away between rides.
