Hi, I'll try and talk with Peter, see if we can get a video up with the H handlebars. I've ridden the H Brompton a few times, its going to look very similar to the M bars, but will add about two inches to the height. Thanks for watching- jack
@gp4nut Brompton will be releasing the "H" Handlebar in 2012. It will be a couple of inches taller and still fold to the same size. However, it will never be as comfortable as a full size cruiser with wrap-around handlebar. - BC
It would depend on what type of riding you want to do. For your height I would recommend the M bars over the H Bars, but the S bar could also be a fun option for if you feel that need for speed, and want to get a little lower to decrease wind resistance. Thanks for watching, I'm happy to answer more questions you might have- Peter
Very clear and straightforward, thank you. Which handlebars would be the best commuting option (train & bike)? I'm hesitating between the sporty S and the standard M ? Thank you.
Great video. Thanks for posting. How hard is it to change handlebars? Say I wanted the S for commuting but wanted to switch to the M to do some touring. Is that possible?
Hello Justin. It is possible, but it is quite a bit of work to do. Each handlebar has a different stem that goes with it, as well as a different cable length for the brakes and gears. All of these parts would have to be replaced if you switch handlebars, which ends up racking up a pretty big bill if having the work done at a Brompton dealer. If you want versatility in your bars, I would recommend the P bar, which gives you S handlebar height on the bottom, and slightly higher than M handlebar height on the top end. - Connor
Another great vid packed with really well explained info , thanks

How did they get the p bar to fold as well as the m bar?
How long does the battery last?

Stefan De Wilde Hey Stefan! In my opinion, it'd be better to go with the S. Thanks for watching! - Paul
Peter, nice videos. What do you recommend for a 5'7 guy like me?
Can I add a XT 10 speed to these bicycles...?
Custom mods through a non-Brompton bike engineer, yes. Standard retail models are 1x, 2x, 3x & 6x, off the shelf.
Peter do you have P6L?
