Brompton launches first battery-powered version of its folding bike
Bicycle company Brompton has borrowed Formula One racing technology to create an electric version of its bestselling folding bike.
Aimed at easing city dwellers' commutes, the Brompton Electric relies on a battery that clips onto the front of the bike and stores away into a separate bag for easy carrying.
Brompton partnered with Williams Advanced Engineering ? part of the Williams Group, which also owns the Williams Martini Racing Formula One team ? to develop the bike's bespoke motor. It is calling Brompton Electric the most technically advanced model it has ever produced.
"We've spent five years taking Williams Racing technology and integrating it into the Brompton," said company CEO Will Butler-Adams.
"It has been harder than any of us imagined but we believe we have created a product that will inspire more people to get out from under the ground, out of their cars and back onto a bike to rediscover their cities."
