Half the price of a Kwiggle [1]. Seems like a bargain to me.
[1] Comparing apples to apples, the base Brompton is a 3-speed for 850 euros. The 3-speed Kwiggle is 1690.
- gnufx 5y agoIn which country can you get (a new) Brompton so cheaply?
- ketzo 5y agoWhen I go their website right now (from the U.S.), I see the base model on sale for 850 pounds.
- GGfpc 5y agothat's like 1000€
- TylerE 5y agoWithout shipping or customs... US dealers that sell them seem to start around $1600
- gnufx 5y agoOh, I didn't realize you could even buy them direct now. I was looking at >~£1200 in shops or ~£1400 for the models in stock where I got mine. (The cheapest used to be single speed, and 3-speed is stretching it for non-trivial hills like the scarp round here.)
