USING THE BROMPTON ELECTRIC
TYRE PRESSURES
Tyre pressure is important for both comfort and safety. Please note the following tips for ensuring a safe
and comfortable ride.
It is important to keep your tyres well-inflated; soft tyres increase pedalling effort (which takes the fun out
of riding), wears tyres down quickly and has an adverse effect on handling.
Keeping your tyres well-
inflated is highly recommended.
The most appropriate pressure depends on your weight and preference. It’s also worth remembering that
a very hard tyre isn’t always faster. A hard tyre might be faster in the velodrome, on a rough road a lower
pressure will deflect more easily over uneven and rough road surfaces and therefore roll faster and make the
ride more comfortable. Generally a slightly lower pressure in the front wheel and slightly higher in the rear is
recommended, this accounts for the different weight distributions between the two tyres.
Brompton bikes are fitted with Schrader valves, allowing various methods of inflation. The Brompton pump
is installed on the rear frame of all-steel Brompton Electric bikes with mudguards. When replacing the pump
on the bike, make sure that it has full engagement with the pump locators on the rear frame. You can also use
a hand-pump, or an air-line found at petrol/gas service stations. All Brompton Electric Bicycles use a 37 x
349mm tyre (16 x 1-3/8”) and corresponding inner tube.

TORQUE VALUES
A list of torque values for the major components is shown here. These parts should be checked
periodically, as well as during routine maintenance and repair of the bicycle.
