Brompton launches its lightest ever electric bike

The lightest Brompton Electric bike ever, the Electric P Line has been launched – weighing just 12.7 kg – (or 15.6 kg with the battery pack ready for riding).

Designed for the best performance, with its titanium Advanced Rear Frame and premium, weight-saving components, the Brompton Electric P Line assists the rider up to 25 km per hour, with three levels of power assist. A smart torque sensor in the bottom bracket makes your ride smooth, stable and efficient.

The package enables riders to travel as far as 70 km in a single charge. When it comes to charging, it’s as easy as plugging in your phone. You can do it anywhere. Remove the lightweight battery pack with one quick click and use any regular socket.

This is the first Brompton Electric to feature their all-new superlight 4-speed gearing system which has been seen on the T Line and P Line models. Shifting is smooth and simple with a single lever. The refined geometry, which increases durability, combined with best-in-class componentry, enables Brompton to deliver a bike which, including battery, weighs 15.6kg.

The Brompton Electric app, available on IOS or Android, enables riders to connect their phone and bike via Bluetooth. When mounted to the bars, riders can control power mode, maximise battery life, extend range and more. You can even charge your phone as you ride with the battery pack USB port.

The P Line Electric is available with a 3D-metallic finish in Storm Grey and Midnight Black, and as with all Brompton bikes is powder-coated at the paint facility in the Brompton London Factory using environmentally-friendly powders and energy from 100% renewable sources.

Will Butler-Adams, CEO at Brompton Bicycle comments: ‘’We are thrilled to be launching the Brompton Electric P Line today. This is the most compact folding electric bike on the market – and the culmination of years of research and development.

‘’Utilising elements of our in-house designed componentry featured on the P Line and T Line models, this bike is truly lightweight and portable.

‘’E-bikes are essential for expanding access to cycling, as they enable more people to ride further and take journeys by bike that they otherwise may not have. Developing a lightweight one that is also incredibly compact is something we’re proud of – and we can’t wait to see people riding them.’’

Earlier this year Brompton announced plans to build a new UK factory in support of a stated ambition to producing over 200,000 bikes per year.
