Hello, many brands actually use this aikema (AKM85SX(F1)) motor in electric kits used in Brombton. It is a motor that does a really good job according to its weight. KT supports serial controllers and lcd's. I collected it myself, I am quite satisfied. The brand you bought loaded the battery directly on the handlebar, which is not a good situation, the handlebar will become cumbersome. However, I think there is kunteng (KT e bike controller) in it, maybe you can improve it. Note, if you buy directly from a Chinese shopkeeper in the form of a kit, the engine and controllers cost 200 dollars excluding the battery, you can probably get much more affordable in different countries with Turkish taxes.

That looks very neat indeed. The hi viz lamp really punches ,thx for the demo

Good to see you back out on the ebikes 😁

Awesome vid mate and thabks for sharing!!

Fantastic bit of kit!

Good to see you back on the ebikes 😁

Very nice, but my brommy has black rims and hubs, I see this only available in silver/chrome

what's the weight of that battery feel like mounted on the bars there? I would have liked to have seen one mounted near where the regular brompton mounting point is on the front and I'm wondering why they didn't do that

great video

Good stuff Andy

Just waiting for our latest Kirby ebike kit to land! 👍

Put one of your 'mesh' repeater gizmo's in it as well! - - I got your 26" wheel kit a while back, but as you may have noticed this winter has been VERY wet and windy, so I've not had chance to test it! Every time I had spare time, it was raining across - or sub-zero temperature!

At last...on a Brompton. And you showed my model. I have looked at other more 'main stream' suppliers but I have always been drawn back to Kirby. Mainly due to that light. If it blinked occasionally it would be quite scary LOL. I am a little concerned about having to turn the battery holder out to fold the handlebars in though. Maybe I am too fussy. As long as I can get it into an Ikea bag for travelling.

Nice kit and very well integrated. Have you tried raising your saddle? It would make your knees feel better and help with the hills too.

Hi Andy I have a ebike with a sabvoton 72100. The throttle is not working. It shows 0.16 volts on the app In the parameters. Any thoughts? It should be seeing 1.11 volts The throttle isn't working. It's set to both pedal assist and throttle in the display menu. I am stumped

E Sooter law change in Finland, next month, if its load is over 25 kg or has speed up to 25km has to have road insurance 56CT004

Do the front forks need to be splayed out to suit the new wheel/motor? And as the front axle of the brompton wheel is only 8mm diameter, do the dropouts need filing to take a larger diameter axle?

good question

Did you say you sell these kits? Seems very similar to the switch kits, how much are your kits ?

My ADO is a folder, its heavy gauge welded aluminium extrusions though. Weighs a ton TBH. Hard going without assist but a breeze with it on...🤔😮🇬🇧

hi is it a 9 pin Julet waterproof connector for e-bike front wheel ?

Great idea, sadly the Brompton is the No.1 most stolen bike, demand is high. And carrying a battery around to avoid theft is bulk I don't need. Also the cost of a Brompton alone is comparable to a full suspension long range electric bike these days with locked batteries. The great thing about the Brompton though is they fold small and lightest of the lot. The shame with thefts is you need a Gold Standard Kryptonite Lock "that weighs a ton" still good results Andy I'm sure they'll sell well.

The whole point of a Brompton is to carry it with you EVERYWHERE you go or at least leave safely like in the work place, if you can’t do that , the Brompton is not for you

Converted my Brompton about 3 years ago using a kit a different brand. The kits are great, not like a real e-bike which is a pain to ride without assistance you can just leave the battery at home and ride it without one.

Since the battery is the most expensive component in the conversion kit, I wonder why South Korea which has LG and Samsung and a lot of industries is not the main supplier?

Great piece of kit Andy

Planning on buying this, has anyone here actually used it and installed it? how was the experience? is it worth it?

Where's the inline 4 600cc option?

I'd love to see solid tires, and a belt or shaft drive would be nice.

Does altering the pedal assist sensor by cutting the two tabs void the guarantee?

Don't suppose youv any hacks on unlocking my elec bike speed It's a basic square screen with 5 assist settings , stops15 mph max

no need to remove the brake pads, just let the air out and sqeeze the tyre
