    Front hub kit suggestions for Brompton clone with 20 inch wheel

    Why not just buy a used Brompton and convert it. There are several kits designed specifically for them. It's a waste buying a new bike anyway because you lose any warranty as soon as you put the kit on.

    Front hub kit suggestions for Brompton clone with 20 inch wheel

    That's not a good bike for conversion if you want an off-the-shelf kit. The forks are too narrow at both ends. A mid motor would fit, but then you'd need to sort out the gearing, which would be too low with standard parts. Some of the Chinese resellers , like BMSbattery and Topbikekit offer the...

    Front hub kit suggestions for Brompton clone with 20 inch wheel

    Hi all, I'm looking for a front hub kit for a 20 inch Brompton clone (Mint T9-20D). I don't have the bike yet as it's still shipping but wanted to get some ideas about possible kits. 20 inch wheels with mechanical disc brakes. Front hub kit ideally 250w road legal but don't mind a bit more...

    Recommendations for Electric Bike Insurance

    Gee... nice looking G-Line you got there... I end up riding through some right scummy areas late at night sometimes. I'd be beset by even more unhinged screeching gremlins, harassment and unwelcome interest is bad enough already riding just an old Dahon conversion. A G-line Brompton may well...

    Swytch Ebike Conversion Kit

    @Doninho11 - depending how deep your pockets are, have a look at ARCC bikes for converting the Birdy (link) with conversion prices starting at ONLY £2,199 (you send them your bike and they do all the work and send it back to you) which many on here, including me who do their own conversions...

    KT Brompton kits PAS configuration help please!

    You should get the same speed in each Pedal assist level. It's the power that's different in each one. The setting is P3=1.Why would you want it any other way? The best legal way to set the throttle is so that it's limited to 6km/hr when you're not pedalling and global speed limit when you are...

    KT Brompton kits PAS configuration help please!

    I've installed conversion kits in my wife's and my own H6R Brompton C-line from 2013 and every thing works well EXCEPT: The throttle works appropriately with power (?gear) setting with both bikes. Pedaling, the LEDs light as each magnet passes the PAS sensor, motor runs but always at maximum...

    Woosh do Brompton conversion kits, circa £500 with battery. UK supplier. TopBikeKit do Brompton conversion kits, without battery, but at £320 are outside of your budget. On Aliexpress.

    Hi from Fleet, Hampshire

    Yes indeedy, if a Brompton can cope with light trails, the OP's could be transformed into an eBrompton like @StuartsProjects: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/ebrompton-build.45098/

    The New Brompton G Line Electric

    With 8 speed Shimano hub gears, I'm wondering if this new bike or the object below have 135mm wide rear dropouts, for easy rear hub motor conversion. For dudes into all that bizarre WTF PLC settings hub motor stuff, with dishing and spreading and wotnot besides...

    Converting a little folder

    Yep - the PAS disc came in two parts that just clip on and then fit a clip round it. Then you attach the sensor to frame (which was a little fiddly to get it close enough to sense the magnets Yep they do Bromptons...

    Converting a little folder

    The default PAS option with the Woosh kit is to mount the PAS onto the bottom bracket. You can also ask for the seat tube mounted PAS with clip on disc. There is no extra charge for this. The latter option is less robust than the default option because the PAS sensor can be displaced...

    Converting a little folder

    Thanks Peter. I especially like the way the PAS ring seems from my reading of your account, to simply clip onto the crank... Is that right? I have an urge to maybe convert my Brompton to electric power and I think the available kits from Woosh look as if you need to pull the crank arm off...

    EZ Rider Kit - popped one open to see what's inside (Brompton conversion)

    Hi all. I'd previously had a commuter DIY project that did me well for many years. It was a Giant hybrid with a mid drive BBSHD. Loved the thing to bits and managed to get it to behave exactly as I liked - PAS settings would go from non existent, to slight increments of power - felt like you...

    Ditch-the-Swytch bike kit

    ...similar one. A 16" wheel or a 20" one needs a 328 rpm motor. If it's still lightweight you want, a few sellers, including Woosh, have Brompton kits. Kirbebike EZ Rider Conversion Kit For Brompton Electric Kit- Kirbebike Woosh hub kits | Electric Bike Conversion Kits from Woosh...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    Thanks Saneagle. Great information as usual from you on these subjects. I have just been looking at Woosh's Brompton kits. I will be staying in the Lakes at Portinscale near Keswick for a week pretty soon, and will maybe take the non-electric Brompton with me in the boot. In my old estate car, I...
