Conditions and Exclusions:
1. The first service should be carried out by the Brompton Electric dealer after approximately 100 miles/160 kilometres;
this service, provided free of charge, is designed to discover problems which only reveal themselves with some use,
and to ensure the long-term smooth operation of the bicycle. A Brompton Electric dealer is only obliged to carry out
this free service on a bike they have themselves sold, and if it is requested within three months of purchase.
2. Routine replacements: this section of the Owner’s Manual, outlines the components on the bike that will need to be
replaced under routine maintenance and service of the bike. These guidelines must be followed, particularly taking into
account the mileage that the bike covers, as this will affect the function of many components e.g. brake cables, chain,
sprockets etc. The mileage and usage will also affect the expected life of aluminium components, which should be
replaced every 5000 miles of use (or sooner if particularly hard/heavy use) and do not, therefore, come within the
warranty terms for the bike, detailed above.
3. The warranty described above is only valid within the country in which the bicycle was purchased.
4. Bikes exported from one country to another will be supported, within the warranty period, by the free issue of parts
from the factory, where necessary. However, the Brompton Electric distributor or dealer in the new country will
normally charge for the labour required to undertake warranty repairs, and for any import duty levied on the free-issued
parts.
5. The bike must not have been used for unauthorised competition, misused*, inadequately maintained, or incorrectly
serviced or maintained.
6. The bike must not have been subject to any modification, repair or replacement other than as authorised by Brompton
Bicycle Ltd.
7. The bike must have been serviced by an authorised Brompton Electric Dealer.
8. Defects caused by faulty adjustment, or repairs and alterations performed by a non-authorised Brompton Electric
Dealer, are not covered by this warranty.
9. Defects caused by the use of parts and accessories not authorised by Brompton Bicycle Ltd are not covered by this
warranty.
10. The warranty does not cover the cost of removal and replacement of parts and accessories, unless supplied as
original equipment, or recommended by Brompton Bicycle Ltd.
11. Components which are expected to wear as part of their normal function, such as tyres, bulbs, chains, sprockets,
brake pads, bearings etc. are excluded from the terms of this warranty, unless there is a manufacturing defect
in the part.
12. Other items excluded from warranty are the saddle, luggage, paint, chrome, polished aluminium items, or decal where
deterioration has been caused by normal wear and tear, exposure or lack of correct maintenance.
13. The warranty does not cover frame parts or bicycles that have been repainted and/or had the origional paintwork
removed.
14. Any additional battery, other than the Brompton electric battery, supplied with the bicycle is excluded from warranty,
save for any leak that is present at the time of delivery.
15. The battery warranty excludes any issues resulting from; damage to the casing and connectors caused by missuse,
improper use, connection or maintenance, damage due to the use of non approved chargers, deep discharged
batteries due to inappropriate storage conditions.
16. The warranty does not cover bikes used on a commercial basis, e.g. by couriers or despatch riders, etc.
17. The warranty does not cover defects which have not been reported to an authorised dealer within ten days of
discovery of the defect.
18. Your bicycle will require more frequent servicing if operated in severe climates or conditions, such as a marine
environment or heavily salt-treated roads; in deep snow (above half axle height); in very dusty/sandy terrain; in strong
sunlight/high levels of UV radiation. Such environments will potentially cause premature failure of finishes
to the frame and components, and such deterioration is excluded from these warranty terms. Brompton Bicycle Ltd
has taken great care in the selection of materials, plating and painting techniques so as to provide its customers with
a quality cosmetic appearance allied to durability. However, where your bicycle is often used in hostile environmental
conditions such as those indicated, it is essential that the bicycle is washed, dried and that lost lubrication
is replaced to ensure your bike remains in the best condition. Your dealer can provide further information and advice if
required. Ultimately,the appearance of your bicycle will very much depend on the care it receives.
19. Should a warranty claim become necessary, Brompton Bicycle Ltd and its Distributors or Dealers shall not be liable
for the cost of transportation of the bicycle to or from the authorised Brompton Electric Dealer, or for expenses
incurred while the bicycle is off the road, including costs associated with loss of use, inconvenience, lost time,
commercial losses or other incidental or consequential damages.
This warranty shall be interpreted in accordance with English law and any question arising from this warranty shall
be subject to the jurisdiction of the English courts.
Any statement, condition, representation, description or warranty
otherwise contained in any catalogue, advertisement or other publication shall not be construed as enlarging, varying or
overriding anything contained herein.
Brompton Bicycle Ltd reserves the right to make alterations or improvements, without notification, to any model or
machine, without obligation to do so to bicycles already sold. This warranty does not affect your statutory rights.
* Misuse includes any use not in accordance with the recommendations made in the owner’s manual, and any use contrary
to the warnings given in that same handbook. In addition, misuse will include, but not be limited to, any use of the bicycle
which does not constitute normal road use, as your Brompton Electric is intended for use on roads and well-made paths. It
is not designed for cross country riding, which can overstress the frame and for which the tyres and wheels are unsuitable.
