Electric Brompton vs Standard Brompton... Is It Worth It?? // The Ultimate Test!

In this video I’m going to be comparing and electric Brompton to a standard Brompton. I’ll perform various test to see just how much assistance you get from the electrification kit and if it’s worth buying!

With many people converting to electric, the real question is “how much better is an electric Brompton?” At the end of this video you will have the answer to that question.

I’ll ride the same route twice, once on the electric Brompton and the other on a standard Brompton. I’ll then look at all the ride data and make a direct comparison.

@1:24 "It's alot harder than I thought it would be" Don't beat yourself up. It's because your riding a Brompton with 4kg of extra weight and motor drag. It is not a "Standard Brompton". With a 4 min difference between "normal" and electric, across 8 miles, you have legs and heart (128bpm! with a 15kg bike) of ironman.

heads up, this video isn't on "The" electric Brompton, its a comparison between a regular Brompton, and a Brompton converted to electric using an ARCC conversion kit.

Having a higher HR is most beneficial...
Your HR was way too low for any fitness benefit.
I had just cancelled my E bike prior to watching your video.
I purchased and bought instead the P- line part titanium Bromptob

Without the battery, does the electric feel like the normal Brompton? Or do you notice resistance from the motor? Thanks
