Decided to visit Mighty Velo to check out their Bromptons and Tommy gave a super detailed explanation on FOLDING AND UNFOLDING the Brompton. Thanks for the DEMO!

This video is outstanding. I have watched 3 other folding/carrying videos and this one delivered 4 new details no one else has. Thanks much. MJ

[@sepharad58]

One of the best Brompton folding and stowing videos I have seen. Discussed several details most miss. Great sales rep.

[@giorgiomoneta5368]

Brompton is awesome, but I prefer Tiramisù milk shake custard, trust me man

[@llyre7451]

You will see that the guy is really passionate and knows the hell out of the product. :) Very informative.

[@valacebedo]

The salesman gave a very comprehensive method of folding and unfolding the bike. Good job to him.

I disagree. The additional strap is not needed and there are a lot of parts at that bike that are not original.

[@B1cam]

Best explanation of the folding I’ve seen.

[@michaelanderson9792]

I am over weight I have lost 40 lbs over the last year My goal weight is 140 lbs when I reach that goal I will buy a Brompton wish me success

[@jamieohpa]

Wishing you all the success mate!

[@KandiKlover]

@domifab101 for real. Those things are super strong. I see 300 pound truckers riding them at rest stops to get a little exercise in. It's great fun.

Have you bought a brompton yet ? 🚴‍♀️

[@felixcat9318]

Thank you for taking us along when you collected your new Brompton from the dealership. The instructor was very thorough in his demonstration and explanation, and he clearly takes a professional approach to guiding and advising customers to ensure that they get the best start to Brompton ownership and riding.

[@rrMuraliRamsamy]

Did he say rusty Will a quality like Brompton rust ? Or Is it a lower quality cheaper version I liked all features though What's this model And Price ?

[@effyleven]

You CAN keep pedalling when changing hub gears, but you must take the load off and not "press weight" on the pedals during the change. The same is true of the dérailleur gears; just spin the pedals without putting any force on them. This means both hub and dérailleurs are changed the same way... and both can be changed together, if you so wish.

[@hoser7706]

By far THE best Brompton how-to video. The sales person was outstanding. Do you still ride it?

[@Xubuntu47]

Wow, I learned things no one else told me. Second gear to freewheel the pedals, huh? I find that I ride lot more since I got my Brompton because it goes anywhere, and carries whatever I need with a bag that fits the front carrier. And it is a delight to ride--sometimes I even look for hills to climb now, rather than avoiding them like I did with my old, heavier, bulkier folding bike. I hope you enjoy yours too.

[@effyleven]

"Second gear to "freewheel" ?" Where did THAT idea come from? It is nonsense. All 6 gears freewheel FREELY, and the bike can be safely folded in ANY gear. You have to ask yourself, where does that kind of bullsh*t come from? However, the "unfold the pedal first" advice is good.

[@hiroadrian]

This is the best bromoton tutorial i have seen, you should change the title to be able to reach others looking for a brompton great tutorial.. great sales representative!

[@jamieohpa]

Thanks! Will revise the title:)

[@NoZenith]

I agree, laying it down, the different style pedals, understanding that the seat post being not all the way pushed-in keeps a bike from being locked... I have been binging everything Brompton for the last week after finding out about them while shopping for compact bikes. This demonstrator was very thorough

[@LonicGheshu]

That was a brilliant demonstration. Much more informative than the official Brompton folding instruction video. 👍

[@pppp-vq9ch]

the salesman there is very great! I went there to check out their mini pro and all the products there are awesome!

[@GiNodrog]

Amazing, when I brought mine I wasn't shown as good as well as this.

Excellent job by the salesman.👍😎🇦🇺

[@emmyhaneul]

I ordered a Brompton bike that is coming to my mail by the end of the month. This video was very useful because when I will receive the bike, I won't have any salesman explaining me what to do or what to not do. Thank you!

Hi Emmy, do you order direct from UK?

[@NoZenith]

I'm looking at doing the same thing.

From where did you order? Which model and price?

[@emmyhaneul]

@@sameeracee I answered above.. I got mine from a Brompton Junction store..

[@waatao9856]

These bikes are hella expensive, sales man was awesome explaining how this piece of art works

[@holikowa]

sometimes I have a feeling that people buying over expensive products always try to convince the others that their purchase was justified ;) I was using Brompton and honestly, I am a quite small person, with just 50 kg weight and I really did not find Brompton very comfortable bicycle. So how man can find it ok I really do not know :D It is however very well made bike, with ok design, with ok strumey archer speed gear which I really love for smooth transition and lack of the cracking noise like with shimano. However men please do not sell this on the internet because I would gladly ask you to ride Brompton 10K and then check your face next day, still asking you to do the same :D All bromptom's users know what I am talking about... 16 inch wheels + small saddle uffff hahahaha all in the price of 2000 eur for 6 speed gear. It is a real pity that Brompton does not want to go for bigger wheels and change something more in the design but still if there are some who buy it as it is then the business is up

[@stananders474]

Good broadcast. Ive had 3 Bromptons over 20 years. Best bike ever invented. They always sell for more than you pay for it. Best wishrs Dave.

[@genericcommenter2676]

Thank you for the video, would this bike be suitable for an overweight person ? I weight 125KG height 180.

Unless you want to commit suicide, don't biking in Hong Kong.

[@tedman2786]

@@thomask837 Australia is okay. In 1996, I brought my Brompton to roam in several major Australian cities. It feels similar to that in North America. I wonder if it has changed now.

[@Jez2008UK]

I prefer the bar grips you have on this bike and love the colour. Those grips, I don't see those on the Brompton bike website ? :(

[@Jez2008UK]

Anyone else wanting to know about those grips, they're the Ergon GP2 range.

[@jamieohpa]

Yes! I was about to reply:)

[@NoZenith]

Thank you. I was getting disheartened. I found this video two years after it was posted and I really really really want those grips and I'm looking at purchasing a Brompton myself. I saw them in another video and they said they had to modify them with a razor blade but half the name was missing and they didn't explain what they were. Now I understand they're exactly the same the name was just worn off the rubber

[@aucourant9998]

That guy is amazing. You'd never get service like that in Britain.

[@jamieohpa]

Certainly is, in fact, the sales people at this particular shop in Singapore are very knowledgeable. Check out my latest Birdy purchase:)

[@Meritumas]

Haha, not to mention Ireland 😕 got my bike and the salesman immediately turned attention to the next client...

[@stevenvue6411]

The bike shop guy is so helpful! He covered things that other Brompton videos don't, so thanks!

[@chrismacdonald.6295]

I love my Brompton. My local supermarket is 0.86 mlles away, (to be precise)! So it’s perfect for doing the shopping and leaving the car at home.

[@weeliano]

I bought my six-speed Brompton from Mighty Velo in 2012, it is possibly the best bicycle I have ever owned. Too bad Brompton decided to take back distributorship from them. These bikes will last a lifetime if properly maintained and well taken care of. Mine is still going strong.

[@setsuro.splice]

Theres an electric brompton now but not sold in SG yet. How much does the bike cost tho?

Great video, thanks for sharing! Amazing stuff in Brompton sg.

[@howardpoong5713]

So many things to remember......hownis tis convenient...

[@effyleven]

One small point. It is perfectly OK to change hub gears while pedalling, in fact it is preferred. Keep the pedals turning, but take the PRESSURE off them. This is the same change technique as for the derailleur gears. Turn the pedals over, yes, but LOAD them only lightly.

[@taypk9503]

May I ask where is this shop please? They seems to be more friendly and patience than the Official Brompton Shop

[@jamieohpa]

This was purchased at Mighty Velo, they have very good salespeople there :)

[@SolarPunk80]

So a Brompton, probably for whatever reason I will be looking for the best deal I can find assuming I understand the compromises enough, well, anyway getting one has been my latest obsession. However I realised that before I even find a miraculous deal ( I considered clones as well as EBay) I should probably know how it feels to ride with 16” wheels, my concern is at what point would it feel like too much exercise. I mean I realise that it probably will involve much more pedaling, and I’ve been approaching this curiosity with that in mind, but untili can feel what it feels like the investment is a huge risk for me. I noticed Amazon has the A and C line, so maybe I could take advantage of Prime and decide if it was a mistake and hopefully return it without issues but I think I should search within 20 miles to see if a shop has one and would allow me a spin without me necessarily buying it that day?

[@Vasileski88]

You kinda look like an asian Elon Musk...

[@agnesvmr]

The seller should be hired by Brompton!!!

[@TemwaJ]

You're going to love the brompton. It really improves lives in a dozen ways. Even for longer distances you take it with you on car, train, bus, boat etc and you can ride the last bit on the brompton. Even for cars its often a myth that there's convenient parking within a 10 minute walking distance. I also recommend getting one of their bags+carrier block. It's also pricey but the quality is built to last.

[@jamieohpa]

I am really falling in love with it...

[@MikyMiguel777]

How much does the bike weights? Can I buy one in the U.S

[@bendmymind486]

Miguel Gerardo Yeah, many U.S. bike shops have them, & they could tell you the weight, which will vary depending on how many accessories you add. Also can ask at www.brompton.com

[@jamieohpa]

We have the luxury of travelling on the roads if you’re on a bicycle and Singapore roads are pretty well paved so a Brompton is really great as a commute:)

[@pengchewoon1926]

Aaaa very good lah......

[@glennpamindanan4080]

Why do you need a strap? other demos didnt use that and still lift and carry the bike. Is it due to the model?

[@drummingjack7055]

That’s exactly what I thought about. In every other video in the internet, they don‘t have to use this strap to carry the bike. Probably a change in the design?

[@danhle1032]

the strap is for pushing the bike with the seat all the way up. without it, u have to push the bike with the seat down which only works for short ppl

[@pag0l]

I got my Chpt 3 today.... tommy was a BOSS for giving instructions. This should be up on Brompton’s site

[@jamieohpa]

The Chpt 3 is a fab looking bike...

[@pag0l]

Jamie Lim that it is.

[@psocretes8183]

I'm thinking of buying a Brompton because I moved to a rural town and don't drive. I'm getting old and have an electric bike for shopping. The trouble is I can't take the big electric bike on the bus but I can the Brompton. I will be able to go to the seaside with some basic camping gear and stay overnight and go on adventures once I get there.

[@frankhooper7871]

What's with the little velcro strap he undid and moved to the back? That's not included on a Brompton and is entirely unnecessary.
