This is Sara, a fellow Brompton owner and rider, who I met by chance near my job. She has an electric Brompton. Mine is a regular peddle pusher without an electric motor. Her bike is really nice and she commutes from Borough to Borough like I used to do. I am going to start riding it more in the upcoming days. I used to ride to work 8.5 miles each way for years. I was in great shape due to all of that riding. Not only do you get from point A to point B, it’s fun and it keeps you fit. I may consider an electric Brompton in my future, however, many buildings in Manhattan, including the one where I work, do not allow e-bikes on the premises because of the lithium-ion batteries. I hope technology on those improve so that restriction can be removed.
