Well this is partly a test-ride experience!One gotcha? You'll end up wanting to just get your own, making it yours, etc ;-)
There’s a guy cycled up Alpe D’Huez on. Brommie, video on YouTube. He overtakes a car and an Artic’ on the way down 😎😮Seems a reasonable price. I can imagine hiring one for a try-out, or a Brompton-themed fund-raiser/race/mini-tour/FNRttC... or just for a laugh.
There was a guy who set himself a challenge of riding up Ventoux on a Boris Bike, which meant hiring, a mad drive across France, and returning it, all within a 24 hour time limit. Would be a good Brompton challenge too; has probably been done already.

It's a slippery slope...Well this is partly a test-ride experience!
Heard all about that; a driving challenge (mainly), can't abide them, sorry!There was a guy who set himself a challenge of riding up Ventoux on a Boris Bike, which meant hiring, a mad drive across France, and returning it, all within a 24 hour time limit.

Thanks, good tips. Do they have any way to hang a bag on them? I shall assume "no". (I can't find any detail of what model you will get)
Well ... they deserve to fail before I even get to the (un) docking station.
No way will I go through a registration process like that again. For starters, took me a long time to realise you can't sign-up with a browser - that is a red flag to start with. Then the app was a Task of Herculean Bureaucracy, round in circles to get on. And finally the pain of ID with scans of your Driving Licence. 6 hours since I wanted to give them money, and I'm still awaiting verification!!
If this is the future, count me out.
(Where is my jetpack, hmm??)
It's a grands worth of bike. You have to expect some level of checking.Well ... they deserve to fail before I even get to the (un) docking station.

£650 worth, if you read their T&Cs...so that suggests almost a 100% retail markup, since an M3L is £1,175It's a grands worth of bike. You have to expect some level of checking.
