THE ELECTRIC ASSIST SYSTEM
The Brompton Electric gives motor assistance to support the pedaling input from the rider.
A sensor in the bottom bracket measures the rider’s cadence* and power, a sensor within the hub motor
measures the speed of the bike. The system analyses this data to determine how much assistance the
hub motor gives. The system is constantly checking the rider input and matching the power assistance
accordingly. The maximum continuous power output from the motor is 250W and the motor is restricted so
that it will not give assistance beyond 25km/h.
