WARNING

Many components on a bike are highly stressed, and with high mileage, heavy loads or hard riding, will 
eventually reach the end of their design life; in particular, aluminium alloy has a limited fatigue life. Failure in 
use can cause injury. You should check all load-bearing parts for any signs of damage, corrosion, or cracking, 
and replace if necessary. Please visit an authorised Brompton Electric dealer for expert advice if you are 
uncertain. Regular servicing and inspection of the bike by a Brompton Electric dealer is advised.

As with mechanical components, the electrical assist system including the battery and motor, is subject 
to stress and wear. Different materials will react to stress fatigue and wear in different ways. If the design 
life of the component has been exceeded it may not function correctly or fail suddenly. Any changes to the 
appearance of colour of a part, or signs of cracking etc. could indicate the lifespan of the part has been 
exceeded and it should be inspected and replaced by an authorised Brompton Electric Dealer.

The bike must not be subject to any modification, repair or replacement other than as authorised by Brompton 
Bicycle Ltd, this includes but is not limited to the components listed below in the ‘replacement parts’ section. 
The electrical system including the software should not be modified or tampered with, the hub-motor, control 
module and battery should not be opened, tampered with or modified in any way. 

The bike must be serviced at regular intervals by an authorised Brompton Electric Dealer. If the bike has 
been subject to a crash or impact you should stop using the bike immediately and have the bike inspected 
by a Brompton Electric dealer. Damaged components should be replaced and the bike thoroughly checked 
before the bike is ridden again. Any deep scratches or gouges in the aluminium parts can severely weaken 
the component and cause premature failure of the part. 

We recommend that genuine Brompton parts are used for safety-critical components

of the electrical assist system, such changes should only be made by an authorised Brompton Electric dealer.
