INTRODUCTION
Before using your Brompton Electric, please read this manual noting the
sections on safety and folding in particular. While this manual is intended
as a guide, it is not a comprehensive guide to cycling or bicycle maintenance.
After purchasing your Brompton Electric bicycle, it is important to register your bike & battery in the My
Brompton section of our website to record the details of your bike(s); that way, if your bike is stolen or we
have any need to contact you, we will have a record to refer to. You will be asked to enter your serial and
frame numbers: the serial number is located on a plate at the back of the main frame; the frame number is
stamped on the main frame near the bottom bracket. The information remains on the Brompton database and
will not be passed on to third parties

If you carry out any adjustments or maintenance work yourself, please read the relevant sections of this
manual first, as it’s quite easy to get things wrong, and to impair the folding process or damage the bike and
possibly make it unsafe to use. This manual contains some tips and advice for using your Brompton Electric
but if you are ever unsure of how to maintain your bike, visit an authorised Brompton Electric dealer for expert
advice. For a list of dealers, please visit our website:

We recommend having your bike inspected and serviced by a Brompton Electric dealer regularly.

CARRYING & WHEELING THE FOLDED BIKE
•
Owners are responsible for assessing the way they use the bike at all times, and should ensure that
they take due care of their safety and welfare when riding, moving or carrying their bike
•
Brompton accept no responsibility for any injury caused when lifting and handling a folded bike
•
A Brompton Electric bike weighs between 13.7 and 14.4kg, depending on the equipment fitted
•
Luggage fitted to the mount on the front of the bike can also weigh up to 10kg, including the battery
•
Luggage mounted to bikes equipped with a rear rack can weigh up to 10kg
•
Owners must take due consideration of the weight of their bike, battery and any luggage they plan to
lift or carry, and balance this against their particular physical capabilities; the circumstances i.e. route,
under-foot conditions etc must also be considered before each lift and/or carry of the bike & luggage
•
Owners should always remove the battery and luggage from the bike before folding
•
Unfold the bike fully before refitting the battery and luggage; do not attempt to lift or carry the
combined weight of the bike and luggage
•
Whenever you are no longer able to ride your Brompton Electric, inside a train station for example,
you should first push it as far as possible, then remove the luggage and battery, fold the bike and
roll it on the rear rollers before carrying it for the shortest distance
•
It is recommended that the folded bike is carried one-handed, most comfortably with your arm
straight and the bike to your side. The bike should be held either by the saddle, or the main frame
below the saddle, whichever is most suitable for you
•
Carry the luggage and battery with the other arm, by the carry handle on the bag or shoulder strap
•
If you have to carry the bike for any distance, then it may be appropriate to swap the bike and luggage
between each hand at suitable intervals, depending on your capabilities
•
Carrying the folded bike two-handed is only advisable over a very short distance, as it can only be
done by holding the bike at chest/stomach level in order to avoid knocking your legs or knees
against the bike; this requires both arms to be bent with an approx 90degree bend, which will place
extra strain on your arms.
The small rollers fitted as standard on a Brompton Electric are useful for pushing the folded bike into tight
spaces. Using the raised handlebar as a handle, the folded bike may also be pulled around on these rollers,
though this only works over short distances on a smooth surface, the front luggage must
not
be attached to
the bike when doing this. Remember to raise the seatpost slightly from the fully-down position so that it does
not hinder the bike from rolling along, but not so high that the bike unfolds. The folded bike is not designed
to be used as a stool, do not sit on the bike when folded.
NOTE: The Brompton Electric Bicycle (Pedelec or electric bicycle) is referred to in this Manual as a bike,
bicycle or Brompton, unless otherwise noted.
