Electric Bike Report

It?s extremely portable?and perfect for the apartment dweller in a dense city! The Electric C Line is among the most practical folding bikes we?ve tested due to its sub-40-lb weight, small profile, and ability to roll once folded.
The bike?s 250W front-hub motor provides a helpful amount of power for an active, fun, and responsive ride. It feels much like a regular bike, just faster and easier!
Brompton offers an excellent warranty of 7 years for the frame and 2 years for the electrical components (this can be extended to 3). All non-wearing components have 2-year coverage as well.
While many e-bikes are mass-produced, the Electric C Line is handmade at Brompton?s London-based factory.
It?s compatible with a wide range of unique accessories, including a hard-shell travel case & quick-attaching luggage that incorporates the battery/control panel.
The 36V, 300-Wh battery gives the C Line impressive range, and it recharges in just 4 hours!
Brompton offers eight eye-catching color options, including Flame Lacquer, Matcha, and Yuzu Lime.

The Brompton app makes changing the bike?s pedal assist level easier when riding, but we?d still prefer a handlebar-mounted button pad over the control panel on the battery.
Proprietary components/tech and the bike?s handmade frame come at a cost; the 12-speed model starts well above $4k. The brand?s quality is noticeable, though?you get what you pay for!
In general, we think urban/dense city riders (think New York) won?t mind the bike?s 15.5 mph pedal-assisted max speed, but some other US-based riders in more suburban environments may want full Class 2 speeds.
