The Black Brompton electric 6-speed bike is in need of some maintenance. It has been offered for sale as spares or repair, but it only requires some new parts and a service. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to do it at the moment. Overall, it is in decent condition and runs smoothly. It has been used daily since the lockdown, except for a period of 6 months when we were not allowed to go out. Although it is not a brand new bike, it is still functional after a service. To be completely honest, in addition to a service, the following parts need to be replaced to bring the bike back to its best condition: chain, sprockets, chainring, chain tensioner, brake pads, rear tyre, rear wheel, and there is a dent in the front wheel rim. I usually replace most of these parts during the annual service, so it is not surprising that they need to be replaced again. Brompton wheels are known to take a lot of abuse in London. Since I purchased the bike, it has been serviced every 6 months. Apart from the usual parts replacement mentioned above, it has also had a new battery (still under warranty), motor, and sensor. Currently, it has Continental tyres, but I am not sure if I would put them on again. There is also some paint flaking on the bottom bracket, which needs to be treated and repainted. According to Brompton, this is normal for a bike of this age. It has also undergone a recall to have the grey clip fitted to the bag to ensure proper contact with the battery. Please do not expect a perfect bike when bidding. Feel free to contact me if you would like to see the bike before placing a bid. I highly recommend seeing the bike in person before making any offers. It is available for local collection only from Richmond upon Thames/Kingston upon Thames or a convenient location in London. Please note that the photo used in this listing is a stock photo and not of the actual bike. I will be uploading photos of the real bike soon, but if you would like specific photos, please send me a private message. Thank you for taking the time to read my listing. I have received some reviews and feedback, and I would like to share them for the benefit of others. @daled4197: I'm sorry, is this a joke?
