The P Line Electric is Brompton's lightest e-bike and on our scales weighs 13.3kg with the battery removed. We think this 'carrying weight' is the most important, as folding and carrying the Brompton for multi-modal travel is such a big draw for many people. 13.3kg is a good couple of kilograms lighter than the six-speed electric we tested .
Other weight saving features carried over to the Electric version include the new rear wheel design, superlight grips, superlight headset, lightweight Tubolito inner tubes and lightweight chain.Roller Rackfor locking in two positions - fully folded and halfway down so you can swing the rear triangle under and push the bike along using the saddle as a handle; a nice new practical touch..
In terms of motor performance, it's pretty similar to the experience on the heavier 2019 Brompton Electric we tried. It delivers decent power and certainly makes most hills very easy, and the torque-sensing power delivery is pretty smooth and pretty responsive to your pedal efforts.
BromptonBicycle I'm considering getting the Brompton P Line Electric but as it is so much more expensive than the C Line, I'm wondering if its hill climbing ability is superior?
