I don't but I've always found Brompton to be a very responsive and helpful company. I'd email them and ask

Yes, worse still, AFAIK, is charging them when cold. It's one thing to use a charged battery from cold and another to charge a battery when cold

Apologies if already already covered, downside to setting a forum member to ignore! However, usage makes a huge difference in my experience. Far more than pad type In winter I barely use pads as I do far less off road miles. I find the off road south downs riding in summer kills my pads...

Thats an intersting point and something anecdotally reported on this forum with Ebikes too With a scooter I guess you can't recharge and store in the warm so easily so it seems worse perhaps?

Totally. I really wanted to do Redbridge in particular as nearish to me and a chance to meet forum members. As soon as my many young kids got old enough to allow me to escape.... It stopped But, one might argue those events have done their job. Ebikes are mainstream now compared to the n

Also a downside / required upgrade for a happy ebiking life.... They come with mechanical disc brakes

True but a 125 should get a lot closer, no?

You'll have anonymous in an anonymous grave!! :)

We have the advantage these days of Retroflective materials Strong, tiny, long lasting led lights Wierd lasers and 400lumen monkey lights For me thise proviz jackets are amazing. My jacket is about 40% this stuff. The full jackets I still find hugely surprising in the dark. They light up...

Welcome to the world of the e-grin

OK, my apologies for getting a bit narky there then

Are you trolling It is a legal MOTORBIKE Look at Auto trader. It is full of road legal motorbikes Road legal doesn't mean its a bicycle

So it's an electric motorbike with pedals? So what? The forum( and the seller here) have explained the law a few times. You can't stick pedals on a electric motorbike and call it a legal bicycle anymore than you can stick pedals on a harley Davison.... And call it a legal bicycle

Holy thread revival VFR!

Thats an electric motorbike. You'll need a plates, license etc anyway I'm not trying to put you off going electric..... Just electric bicycles. You might be confusing the two From.their own page " Driver's license While other road users are still at the traffic lights, you are already gone...

Of course there are the Wiggins types in this world! I have not got the impression that anon. is one of them But hey, I laid the eat me own hat challenge so if he is driven.... Well, its possible just not very sensible or practical in this instance I would totally respect the massive effort...

Yep. I really do think so

On the pat test thing. I've worked for 5 large employers and a couple medium ones. Somewhere in a buried policy on the intranet is something about you can't use any of your gear unless pat tested. Then there is the reality Zof 500 to 2000 people charging their person phones, tablets...

Yes. That's a top speed not an average constant speed over 80 miles Even if you managed 20mph average (you won't) that's 4 hours a day in the saddle. And it really won't be. It will be over 5 hours a day. Oh and kitting up, showering etc. 2.5 hours each way commute on a train is bad enough...

Woah there! 80 mile round trip commute on an ebike?! Nope, never gonna happen. That's utterly impractical on many levels. Show me a months worth of solid GPS/strava data that you have done this and I'll eat my hat. On video. I'll even you give 5 working days off. So 15 working days of an...
