The Brompton Electric P Line Urban folding bike is the lightest e-bike in Brompton’s lineup. Weighing in at just 28lbs without its battery (and 34.4lbs with – 6lbs lighter than the Electric C Line Explore), the Electric P Line Urban is particularly appealing if you expect to carry the bike regularly. High-strength titanium alloy is used in place of chromoly steel for the rear triangle, reducing road chatter and making the bike far more comfortable to ride, and the lighter foam grips, alloy headset (versus steel) and titanium fender-stays shave grams in only the most practical ways.
This bike uses the Mid Handlebar which is Brompton’s bestseller and the sweet spot for short riders seeking an upright ride, or average-height riders wanting a bike that is both efficient and comfortable. The bike is fitted with a Standard seatpost but can be swapped to Extended or Telescopic seatposts depending on your height.
The front hub motor has been designed by Brompton, for Brompton and is powered by a 300Wh battery for 40-80km of range before needing a recharge. 3 unique levels of pedal assistance let you choose how much extra push you need – from a light tailwind all the way to downhill speed on an uphill climb. The bike’s folding brilliance means it can be brought indoors at your destination to keep it safe from thieves.
The Electric P Line Urban model has a 4-speed external derailleur that offers a similar gear ratio to the internal Sturmey Archer 3-speed hub, but weighs only 60 grams. A redesigned suspension block transfers maximum pedalling power to the drivetrain without energy losses. The all-new wheelset is Brompton’s lightest and sturdiest yet and the new hex-key axles make removing the wheels for roadside maintenance much easier. The new Superlight saddle features carbon rails to reduce weight while maintaining the Brompton underframe grip to make carrying the folded bike easy and comfortable. This bike comes with Continental Contact Urban tires, designed for speed in cities. The Brompton Electric front-bag mount is compatible with the included 1.5L Essentials Bag or the 20L City Bag Large (sold separately).
Supplied with front and rear fenders to keep you dry in bad weather and built-in e-bike lights to provide excellent visibility on dark roads or nocturnal commutes, this bike is ready for any urban adventure! And moving the bike when it’s folded is much easier. A new dual-locking system keeps the bike folded when the seatpost is up, allowing you to navigate tight spaces. Redesigned rolling wheels are taller than the standard Brompton issue to make travelling over uneven ground easier.
