@@brilliantbikes Haha! I have an Orange/Black Brommie. I wear Orange socks when riding, I've also got an Orange Rohan Goretex cycling jacket ( sadly no longer made) and to top it off I have an orange watch strap on my Garmin.
@@brilliantbikes Not at all, I love the channel. It's fun to see new electric bags. My biggest complaint about mine is the crappy city bag. I'd like if they'd done a Barbour version for electric bikes, a bit more style wouldn't have gone amiss. Do you know if there are any better 3rd party options for the front of a leccy brompton?
What do you do with this bag when it rains? Can you seal the top completely, is it waterproof and does it have a rain cover like the large electric bag? Also, what does it weigh? The downside of Brompton's electric bags are that I think you have to subtract the battery and bag weight from your 10 kg maximum, which isn't good if you want to fetch a full bag of shopping. I'm also not too clear on how you'e supposed to easily check the weight before setting off from the shop with a full load. Pleased there's another option now available, though. Does it cause extra wind resistance like they say the large bag does?
Finally, a new bag for the Electric! Did I hear correctly that there's a whole new collection of bags coming out and that this is the first one of them?
Santa did deliver my Electric basket bag and I'm very pleased with it. When I swapped the battery over from the standard battery bag that comes with the bike, I had a play around and noticed that you could ( in theory ) fit a battery either side of the central battery pack receptacle and swap them in as each battery got depleted. That would be ( an expensive ) way of increasing the range of the bike. 🤔
Valeria bags are lame and he is dumb (when you tell him that he should put 2 way zipper on his bag = he tells it is useless, blocks you and afterrwards makes a bag with a 2 ways zipper...).
I'll never be a competition for a company like Brompton, only on their BWC races, OMG, then I'm a good competitor for sure! 🙂Brompton is a huge company and I work doing everything myself. Anyway, I'm not in competition with anyone but myself. My goal is to create/invent/design things to give solutions to bike/Brompton users and to improve myself. ;-)
@@petergilbert72 Her bags are very well designed and have a lot of nice practical features that Brompton-brand bags don't have. Her baskets for the Elecric for example have side pockets for bottles and a flap for the rain that can be easily pushed aside when not needed. And the bags in general come in different sizes. I'm saving up to get one actually. It's good that there's space for everyone in this market and not just for one company :)
Do Brompton suggest a maximum weight . If I go shopping & buy a lot of tinned food etc it can get quite weighty & i would be worrid about how it affects the electric connections etc.
Does the bag affect the steering? I find the Brompton quite 'skippy' anyway even with just the battery but with 22 litres of cargo plus the battery I'd be quite scared to do any drastic turns. Also, do you know how waterproof it is? Thanks.
I’ve also been impressed how well they handle with a bag on the front, I would say it is water resistant, so you need a large Brompton waterproof cover if you plan to go out in the rain. Thanks for watching!
Fail to understand, why Brompton did not include a top zip-up cover. The bag is useless without it in UK weather. I do not want to bother with an additional cover. Valeria's bags are so much better. I have the big one. It is good.
Could you make a video or weigh in on what someone's first Brompton purchase should be between an electric Brompton or a regular c line. My main curiosity is if buying the electric is sort of like a 2 for 1. Where I can use it without the battery and still function as a Brompton?
Agree - but you R riding on a heavy bike - that potentially slow down speed. I use the assist for hilly , a great plus. I am wishing to buy the P line to add to ML crisis.
I do just this. I often use my Electric Brompton in manual mode. The ride is less "twitchy" than my "analogue" Bromptons due to the extra weight of the motor in the front wheel ( and the battery when fitted. It is noticeably heavier but still luggable for short distances even for a guy in his 70's
i recently emailed brompton inquiring about availability timeline outside uk and they sent me a 20 sentence reply that said absolutely 0 about when it might be available outside the uk.
Many thanks for the question. You could cover it with the large waterproof cover, link as follows: brilliantbikes.co.uk/brompton-luggage-spares/3815-brompton-rain-resistant-cover-large.html
A stretch waterproof cover from one of the other Brompton bags solves that problem, or even a cheap stretch rucksack cover from Decathlon or similar. It also solves the problem of items bouncing out of the bag.
@@devjon123 It's a bit of a design flaw that you're able to almost close it but not quite. I'm not 100% on this design tbh. I'll still buy it though haha
Now I've bought it (from BB of course❤) and actually I love it. The colour is quite nice in the flesh and the closing mechanism is a lot more usable than I expected. I don't pedal in the rain anyway so all good.
As an owner of a still weight-dwindling SuperlightH6LXBrompton (With several added, extra titaninium and carbon parts), with mudguards and from 2019, I of course couldn't imagine to buy a new electric Brompton version by now. I also have a, "much less" folding and - heavy, Makita Folding bike, with two 18 volt batteries, if in need of assisted transport for a shorter distance, as the Makita batteries rather fast runs out of steam!

I’m more impressed with your top. It’s highly visible and stylish. Also matched the helmet
Thank you! My shopping is trying to match my helmet and bike 😃

I also came here to say this!
Thank you for braving the cold to bring us this neat video!
Thank you so much for watching!
Outstanding like always 😂. Going to wait for the coloured ones like your top. Thanks for braving the cold weather and giving us a good time!
Thank you! It did take me a few cups of tea to warm up!
Haven’t made the jump to the electric yet, but your vids are moving me in that direction. And that’s a great outfit.
Thank you! And they are great fun!
Outstanding! Loving your outfit too!
Thank you for watching!
Your kilt dress is mad, i absolutely love it :)
It’s crazy and I could not resist it! Thank you for watching!

That bit about the damaged laptop made me laugh :D
I like your humor
😂 you hanks for watching!
I got the Backet Bag for my P Line Electric. Can't wait for all this snow to clear so I can get out there and ride!
😃. Enjoy and thanks for watching
The bag is good, but your outfit is great!
That’s very kind of you, thank you!
Really looking forward to the Liberty ones😀😀 Hint Hint, please !!!!. Love your outfit too.👍
Cheers from Australia 👋🏼👋🏼
Oh they sound lovely! Let’s hope!
Very stylish, I like the bag too.
Thank you, and thank you for watching!
Don’t need electric yet but my regular basket bag works great when I have my Brompton in shopping
cart mode. 🛒
Love the colorful kit!
Thanks! The basket bag is great!
That's a really nice bag! Though I wish they'd include pockets on the back like the larger City Bag has for a water bottle.
Pockets at the back would be a great add on!
Thank you for watching!
Finally, a new bag for the Electric! Did I hear correctly that there's a whole new collection of bags coming out and that this is the first one of them?
Ah we were trying to be a little funny! As far as we know this is the only one at the moment!
@@brilliantbikes Ahhhhhhh haha
Lovin the tartan where did you get it please I'd love this sooooo colourful
Many thanks for the question, it is from Desigual, I got the top then saw the skirt and thought why not!
I like my manual bag. I will have to be very careful now with not overweighting my electric bag.
Yes please be careful now t to overload it. Thanks for watching!
Lovely n funny video. Keep Them coming
Thank you!
@@brilliantbikes You are welcome
Santa did deliver my Electric basket bag and I'm very pleased with it.

Forget the bag , why don't you make a video on that snazzy tartan outfit you're wearing.
It looks awesome. The bags are ok too.
Thanks! I think we have had more comments on the outfit than the bag…
I have a nice Tartan Electric bag from Valencia's that would match that outfit!
I see this is not on the USA Brompton site yet?😪
Fingers crossed it crossed the water soon!
At last a bag to give Valeria’s some competition!
It’s kind of cool! Thanks for watching!

exactly.. that's what I was thinking..
Many thanks for watching and for the question, yes the recommended upper weight is 10 kg
@@brilliantbikes
So is that 10kg minus the weight of the basket bag/frame/battery, or in addition to them?
Santa is sending one my way 🎅🏻👍
That’s very kind of Santa to how you so well!
Thanks for watching!
I wished it was a closed bag with more front-forwarding space and pockets.
Thanks for watching the Large bag does have more pockets and is closed.
@@brilliantbikes I mean more closed like the Ortlieb or even the Electric Bag.
@ we think the new G Line electric bag can be used with a C Line bag and give a bit more storage
We’ll be trying it very soon

Can we fit this electric bag to a normal Brompton (e.g. non electric C line)?
Thanks for watching! No sorry the frame connection is different
H is very colorful today hahaha.. :D
Thank you 😊
More bags, hmmmmmm I think for now the larger City Bag is good enough for me, but..........

22 litters including the space taken by the battery ?
22 L once the battery in in place
@@brilliantbikes So it it bigger than the same bag for the classic bike ?
Did you ride through the paint section of B+Q by any chance knocking tins of paint off the shelves........... only kidding ;o))))))
Lol! I did say I thought I’d fallen out of the colourful tree hitting all the branches on the way down!

So it has less free space as the battery takes space ?
It has a capacity of 22 L compared to the manual basket bag version at 23 L so pretty similar.
@@brilliantbikes The battery is only 1 L ?
Discussing shades of grey in bright coloured outfit 👍😀
That was the idea
It started out as a grey day (as often here in the autumn)
And grey bags
So we thought we’d brighten the day (or try)
@@brilliantbikes It was a brilliant idea 😅
Is this for sale yet? If not, do you know when it'll be made available?

Kinda disappointed. I wish they could make a closed bag. I don’t need one that catches rain water. Should have put out this bag back in summer.
A stretch waterproof cover from one of the other Brompton bags solves that problem, or even a cheap stretch rucksack cover from Decathlon or similar. It also solves the problem of items bouncing out of the bag.

The large Brompton waterproof cover should work fine and mean that it’s not turning onto water collection device.
@@brilliantbikes False = it is good to collect water !
