Brompton is still excellent though. We know someone who cycles to the airport, takes it on the plane as hand luggage to Munich and then cycles to his mums house.
- joshlemer 3y agoYeah, our Swytch experience hasn't been completely seamless either, but it comes in at still like $1000 or more cheaper than an actual electric Brompton and with a higher speed limit so I still think it's better overall. I also found that getting rid of the cadence sensor and relying solely on the throttle made fore a more relaxing and confident experience. With the finicky pedal sensor you are always wondering if it will pick up your motion, which is a constant source of mild anxiety whereas the throttle is totally solid every time.
