Unpacking my new Brompton m6l, postal delivery, unfolded but rear wheel not turning freely. Sorry, total novice

Rear caliper brake binding (not centred)?

Sorry about that. It's probably something very simple. First make sure the brake cable run is not kinked and the lever is operating freely. Could just be poorly adjusted, here's a video:

Hello and to the forum.

I once thought I was having a serious health problem because my Brompton felt like I was going uphill into a 25 mph headwind although I was on level ground with a breeze. Of course it was the rear brake, and once that was corrected it was like hiking uphill with a 60lb pack and taking it off and walking on the level.

Opens up a whole new experience of riding. How does a Brompton handle - ? Like a Brompton, there's nothing else compares - !
I certainly wouldn't be without mine now - !

Found the problem: mudguard was pressed right against wheel!
