Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Brompton P Line Electric. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
12 reasons to buy
- The P Line Electric is available as a 4-speed or 12-speed.
- Testers and owners say the bike accelerates quickly and power delivery is smooth.
- Experts relish Brompton’s easy three-part fold.
- The P Line measures just 25.3" x 23'' x 10.6'' when folded, making it easy to carry.
- At 34.4lb (4-speed) or 35.94 (12-speed), the part-titanium P Line Electric is lightweight for a folding e-bike.
- When folded, users can wheel the P Line Electric using the saddle as a handle.
- Testers appreciate the easily removable battery and its carrying bag for storing extra items.
- The 35mm Continental Contact Urban tires are puncture-resistant.
- Experts enjoy the nimble handling once accustomed to the twitchy feel of the 16” wheels.
- A 167lb reviewer achieves 21.5 miles of range using max assist, true to Brompton’s claim.
- The P Line Electric comes with a phone mount, front and rear lights, and fenders.
- Brompton provides a seven-year warranty on the frame and three-year warranty on the electrical components of registered bikes.
7 reasons not to buy
- Experts report a delay of one to two pedal revolutions for assistance to kick in.
- The P Line doesn't have a display or handlebar controls for pedal assist. The phone app can be used instead.
- Reaching over the handlebars to adjust PAS level on the battery while riding isn't very safe.
- One owner says the rear light can drag on the ground when wheeling the bike while it's folded.
- Buyers receive bikes with issues such as a bent chainring, a flat tire, and poor shifting.
- The P Line Electric is pricier than most folding e-bikes, and so are its accessories.
- The brakes lack a motor cut-off switch.
Bottom line
The P Line Electric, Brompton’s lightest folding e-bike, comes as a 4-speed or 12-speed. This version has a titanium rear frame. The renowned, time-tested folding design, low weight, compact size, and smooth ride earn praise. Testers also appreciate the P Line Electric’s simplicity, though this comes at the expense of a display and handlebar controls. Criticisms include delayed PAS activation and potential quality control issues or shipping damage. For commuters who want a lightweight and portable folding e-bike, there’s arguably no better premium option on the market, but the more affordable C Line Electric is a close second.
