Made for Cities

Brompton bikes are sold in 47 countries around the world and 80% of production is exported. The company is on target to produce 50,000 bikes this year and close to 500,000 have hit the roads since the first bike was made in the 1975 by the inventor Andrew Ritchie. A Brompton bike is perfect for those that live, work or play in cities, or want to escape the city: The bike folds up to a third of its size, and weighs on average just 11kg for the standard model and from 16.5kg for the Brompton Electric, which means a Brompton is suitable to take on all forms of transport.
