Brooks Brompton folding bicycle
Brooks leather cycling gear goes together perfectly with a classy folding bike like the Brompton. These two English companies pair together like tea and crumpets and compliment each other famously. We like the combination so much we created our own custom Brooks Brompton folding bike with a Brooks leather saddle, the challenge leather tool bag, leather grips, and beautiful wooden fenders.
The whole Brooks Brompton folding bike effuses an air of sophistication, class, and refinement. If you're looking for a folding bike that looks great and has the highest quality accessories available, you should definitely look into pairing Brooks leather gear with a Brompton folding bike. Check out our Brooks Brompton folding bike, I think you'll be impressed!

Electric Brompton: Taxi in a Suitcase
We had this idea that people would love to have a portable and ready made solution for those times when they need to go in a hurry. And so we've created the Electric Brompton Taxi In a Suitcase. With this setup you'll have an electric folding bike ready to go at a moments notice. Packed with great features, the hard shell case can safely transport your electric bike wherever you go.
Why rent a car or pay cab fare when you can just ride your portable Brompton electric bike wherever you go? This is the easiest electric bike to fold/unfold making it perfect for the last minute trip or everyday commute. Is an electric Brompton folding bike the transportation solution you've been looking for?

BUSC 2011: Brompton US Championship Video
Did you see the 2011 Brompton US Championship video? It was a close race this year but in the end the returning champion took first once again. Peter from NYCeWheels made a good attempt at the coveted round trip ticket to England for the Brompton World Championship but ran out of steam during the final hill climb, yielding to Arron Ritz firm resolve.
But the BUSC is about more than just a race, it's also about fun, about friendship, and about having a good time. The real winners of the event were the best dressed trio from India and our own Stephanie Gross. These few challengers made the extra effort to show their costuming capabilities and came away with handsome Brooks Barbican leather bags to show for it. Good show!

Mark unloads a shipment of IF Modes
The IF Mode bike is one of our most popular folding bicycles. Despite it's high ticket price range the IF Mode bike seems to always be able to attract those riders looking for a bit more flash and a unique, almost sculptural frame design. Although these bikes tend to sell pretty fast we've been able to keep them in stock.
If you've never seen the IF Mode bicycle in action you should definitely check out the IF Mode product video to see how it folds. The simple and elegant "integrated folding" hinge design is pretty amazing to behold. With one motion you open the bike, and with another you close it. It's a folding bicycle you have to see to believe.

Electric bike conversion kit
A bike with motor power costs a lot more at one time, but there is no need to make additional payments for years afterward. Something that requires gasoline has many small payments involved every week just to keep it running! Compare the costs for yourself - you'll be pleasantly surprised.
