LIGHTING
A Lighting system is available for the Brompton Electric; a front and rear lamp, powered by the battery. These
can be added to bikes not originally equipped with a lighting system, this work can be carried out by an
authorised Brompton Electric Dealer. Please use these lights in accordance with local laws. For information
relating to the operation of the lighting system please refer to page 12.
THE REAR FRAME CLIP
The rear frame clip assembly can be set in “latch mode”
or “non-latch mode”.
In “latch mode” the clip automatically engages with the
rear frame when it’s unfolded, so that the rear frame/
wheel doesn’t fold when the bike is lifted.
To release the rear frame press the small lever (fig. 26)
forward and lift the bike so the suspension block moves
away from the latch and the rear wheel swings under the
frame. Lower the bike so it sits in the parked position.
In “non-latch mode” the clip can’t engage leaving the
rear frame free to fold, and allowing easier parking.
To switch between the two modes you simply rotate the
suspension block SB (with the clip disengaged).
To switch between modes, the hook must be disengaged,
and you turn the block SB: when the mark M is on top
and central (fig. 27) the clip is set in “latch mode” (the
latch will still engage if M is not exactly central).
If for any reason the clip doesn’t engage with the rear
frame or is stiff to release, try rotating the suspension
block a little. Turning the suspension block a quarter of
a turn or more (with the hook not engaged) moves the
recess well away from the hook so that it cannot engage.

SEAT CLAMP QUICK RELEASE ADJUSTMENT
The quick release clamp should be adjusted so that the lever (fig. 27) closes firmly. If the movement is easy,
with no resistance, the seatpost will not be properly secured. With the seat clamp lever closed, the adjuster
nut (fig. 27) on the opposite side of the clamp band should be tightened to 4-7Nm. When correctly set,
there should be no slippage of the saddle and it should not move when riding or carrying the bike. Minor
adjustments of the clamp may be needed from time to time.
Do not overtighten the nut, as this can cause damage to the frame.
If the post still slips when properly adjusted, this could be caused by contamination, with oil or grease.
Remove the seatpost from the bike, and clean the post and the plastic sleeve in the mainframe with degreaser.
The plastic sleeve inside the frame will wear over time and may eventually need replacing; this can be carried
out by your Brompton electric dealer.
NUT
LEVER
When the brake caliper has been fitted and secured, you
can set the position of the brake pads. Ensure that the
surface of the brake pad is alligned with the curvature of
the rim (fig. 25) and is just above the bottom edge of the
braking surface on the rim. Once the pads are correctly
positioned they should be tightened to 5Nm.
