An electric T-Line sounds almost perfect. 24.6 pounds without the battery sounds amazing, and the 32.4 with it is about the weight of my non-electric G Line. The two big cons: the almost $8,000 price tag and the 15 MPH limit.
Fun! I’ve watched videos of the BWC in the past, and the Sea Otter seems like a great venue to do it in the US. (I’m not sure there should be multiple races called the “World Championship”, but whatever.)
This is one of the things I wondered about as I was posting earlier: the weight of the bike. At the better part of 100 pounds, no one can reasonably expect to ride anywhere they’d have to carry it, especially up stairs.
I got a chance to test ride the newly introduced Brompton G Line, and liked it a lot, but ultimately decided to wait until the electric version comes out this fall. Check out the post on my site for more impressions and thoughts about the G Line.
