Is a MIRIDER better than a BROMPTON

[@TR4zest]

I am glad that you are happy with your choice. Good you could fix the charging port yourself. I still enjoy my Brompton. I can ride with or without the battery. Good luck.

@TR4zest you are welcome, thank you.

I'm glad that you're enjoying your MiRider. I looked at buying one, well two actually mainly because my wife struggles to walk any distance because of knee issues. In the end I opted for the Brompton electric. The main reason was down the the fold which means that I can get 2 Bromptons in the car plus luggage for uk touring. I couldn't do this with two MiRiders plus luggage. As with most things in life there are trade offs and compatibility was the most important factor for us. I used to put our traditional bikes on roof mounted carriers but I'm getting too old for that and bikes are heavy. Enloy your MiRider and happy cycling.

@allanb2906 Thanks for that, Allan. There is nothing wrong with the Brompton electric. I just didn't like the bag on the front and the cost factor also. Hope you have fun and my happy years on them.

May I ask what car you drive please?myself and girlfriend are thinking about getting a mirider each and have the same thinking as yourself about taking them away on holiday,we have a Volkswagen t roc,we are hoping it will be big enough for 2 miriders,hopefully we’re heading to Wigan next week to hopefully try them out

@blaagoku l have a Honda Jazz. It's great as it has what they call magic seats. I can put the mirider in the back seat well, without unfolding.

You never show the MIRIDER, but a Brompton was invented in the seventies and not at all intended for Electric Assist. So of course any Set will be an add-on. A Brompton is intended for easy transport as folded and only if necessary, for actual riding, as the small wheels make it a horrible, hard rolling bike! I know as an owner of a now weighing much less and much modified "Superlight" from 2019😁(9 kilo)! A little like "the wheel" it was fine at first try, and can't be made much better if looking different (Near all other are half-hearted tries to make a Copy, and only fold to a much more filling, Half Bike, except those which are direct Copies, now the Patent has run out). I have owned an assisted Makita Folder, but it was absurdly more heavy and only folded half, with its two battery Pack, for a short distance use. My Brompton I may put in the back of my car for driving to Service and also during Vacations, if needing a bike during those. Finn. Denmark

@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188 Hi Hi Finn, The Mirider is shown on many of my videos on my channel. Thanks for your comment's. All the best from Scotland and me Tony.

@@keep-going I have found pictures of the MIRIDER, and it looks smart, but still only fold to a ½ bike, so it isn't an actual competitor to a Brompton. Like the American, former Army type Bike: Montague, which is an Mtb with "normal size" wheels, which also folds ½! I'm sure if needing a bike for their purposes, both are fine in their way, but if needing the Fold, none is better than the Brompton compromize between portability and riding a bike. Finn

@@keep-going Okay, I'm sorry but I haven't noticed those. And before Covid19 I looked at several types assisted folding bikes for an Import from China, and then got my Makita from a Sale here in Denmark. Using two Tool Batteries its efficient riding distance was limited, though I could have brought several batteries in a bag, of course? But riding from my own power feels better and more assuring, at least. Finn
