I was looking at some third party kits to convert regular brompton to electric. Price wise they are not great. When added to new bike cost, most of them go over new electric brompton price. There is really no financial initiative to modify new out of factory regular brompton. On other hand I had a theoretical idea - can regular brompton be converted to electric using brompton parts? Sure, it will not be cheap, but this is theoretical exercise.
What I am looking to are part list necessary to do that:
Brompton Electric travel charger set £80
Brompton Electric small bag - with frame £60
Brompton Electric - Front Fork Hook Assembly £10
Brompton Electric - P Clip For Motor Cable £1
Brompton Electric - 8.55Ah Battery £500
Brompton Electric - Torque Sensing Bottom Bracket £85
Brompton Electric - Front Carrier Block £135
Brompton Electric Mudguard Stays £6
Brompton Electric Front Wheel £600
£1477 in total? Comes close to some third party conversions...
Anything missing?
