This Video Could Save you $568 on A Brand New BROMPTON (sort of). Brompton Clone Experiment | Scam?? 

Here's the follow-up video of this experiment: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jIEZTGhQ-XA.html

Recently I had bought the electric c line Brompton. If you really want a bike to walk and shipping with you in the mall, I would suggested “Carryme” over “Brompton”. Carryme is made in Taiwan and much lighter than a Brompton. This my third day after I bought new Brompton. This is too heavy such that I won’t take it with me on train but rather leave it at home. I am now deeply regret why I am obsessed in Brompton instead of “Carryme”.

Funny thing is I had one in my basket but I never pulled the trigger. Looking forward to seeing your journey. Best of luck 👍

In Indonesia, I got the cheapest clone for $140. There are several other clones range in between $200-$400.

Rode hundreds of KMs with a full bikepack setup on a similar OEM (Pikes) of the Royale. No problems whatsoever, except for the stock tires which is a puncture magnet.

B is expensive. I had one and bought in Israel when i was there. Now back in Singapore rode less than 5 times because i have 6 better bikes to choose. Sold it and got Bikefriday, best ride for foldies. B is upright centre riding. Got a 3sixty but friend saw my setup sold to him and yet i havent riden on it. Now in Singapore ther are many clones... Mobot, 3sixty, Pikes, Element, Crius, Litrepro, Weekeight, Aceoffix, B Flex, Alps, United bike.. All clones and came from same factory in China with sight tweak to their own OEM brand. I m going to explore a MINT trifold. Best spec to my liking. Disc brake, external gear and 9 speed. BEST COMPACT FOLDING 16" folding for short trip in coaches, bus... other than that i wont waste hard earned money buying for same steel that folds exactly. I believe the craze started because of COVID19 and pricing shot way up. World economy will have expected downfall and so will the pricing soon. And i dont need a brand to say about my size of wallet when i ride especially here in singapore.

I was looking at all these bikes as well. But I was to scared to order. That's alot of money to throw away if it doesn't come. I got a zizzo and 2 solorock bikes instead. 3 bikes for about 1100

Thanks for the experiment bud.

Thanks for this video. I´m inloved with the Brompton design but it expensive and I don´t know if it´s a little unstable. If there is another option (like de Litepro) with enough quality, I will consider it. I will be aware of your experience and your next videos. I have also thought of a Tern Link D8, as it is more stable, but I do not know if it is of less quality.

Litepro should build a aluminum clone with 20 inch wheels. I'll buy.

I see you didn't mention the 3Sixty and yet there is a whole lot more information online about those. What was the reason you didn't consider it as an option for a Brompton clone? (I am genuinely curious, I already purchased a Brompton but it would be nice to have a spare bike around for when company comes over or I'm going to go on a road trip with somebody and don't feel like taking their full size mountain bike with us so we can actually go cycling together. BUT a 6-speed Brompton (H6R) is pushing $2,000 now when all said and done and I'm not going to buy a spare Brompton haha)

Perhaps a second hand Brompton, a version 2018 and up, might give you a great deal ? But I would pick it up. I would never buy something online with shipment that is over a 150 dollars anyway. Not even from a legit bussines. You are a risktaker for sure :-)

I waiting for the model "poor man's" moulton.

many people in singapore rding a litepro trifold too.

How did you calculate your import duties (even if you ultimately got lucky and did t have to pay them)? I live in the United States and we can only take a random guess at what we'll be charged.

I tried to buy a 360 folding bike from Asia to the EU, but they didn't dare to sell to me, even though the Brompton Patent has run out. So in the end I bought a SuperlightM6LXBrompton which is extremely well built, though the ridiculous small, clear pieces of tape for protecting the paint are clearly useless!! And, if English Andrew Ritchie hadn't got the idea of a "triple folding bike", I guess no Copies would most likely have existed! Finn. Denmark

Not received yet?

Do you know about the Euromini folding 20” wheel bike? The company is now called “Zizzo.” Manufactured in China, distributed from California. Customer service is second to none, absolutely amazing in these days of impersonal, or non-existent, customer care. I ride the 8-speed Urbano model. It is solidly built and uses standard, non-proprietary components. Shimano Altus drive train, 20 x 1.95 tires, and only 24 pounds. It folds up very well, quickly and easily, with magnet catch. It rides and handles great. Mine as of October 2022 costs USD 429. No sales tax, and free shipping, in the U.S. It ships in a very strong double box, and is packed extremely well with a lot of protection. Mine arrived perfect. All I had to do was unpack it, unfold it, put the seat post in, and go for a ride. Trouble-free! I don’t know whether they ship to Hungary, but the bikes are worth checking out. I think there are 6 different models. *** I don’t have any affiliation with Zizzo except as a very happy customer and rider.*** I did a lot of research before buying. It seemed to be best built, easiest to maintain and modify, has 5-star customer service, wide line of parts and accessories, and definitely best value for money. They also sell near-new or like-new refurbished models. There is also a very active “Zizzo Owners” Facebook group that has a lot of friendly, VERY helpful, knowledgeable people. Also Zizzo employees and techs are daily jumping into conversations with help. I hope this might be helpful to those trying to choose a folding bicycle. I love my Zizzo Urbano, and the so-helpful, friendly company. *** I also hope your bike arrived ok!!!

I have ridden a 3sixty, and I think it rides very well, even for an 80km day. I have never ridden a Brompton, so I don't know if I am missing something. The 3sixty feels significantly lighter than a Brompton to carry to me, though (picked on up in the store, same spec, 6 speed). I wish I had known about Litepro, though!). I am surprised a Singaporean shop would ship to Europe.

The bike you ordered online isn't significantly less than a brompton; so why spend all that money for your bike to be called a fake brompton when you could easily have just bought an original one.

But the latest iPhone cost as much or even more 🤔

For that price difference I'd have bought the genuine Brompton!

After watching this video, I got even cheaper and knock off a vintage one that turns out to ne mixed w Taiwan's Dahoi. Thank you op. Just kidding. What if they sent me nothing?? Omg coulda got into a 1000 USD scam!!!

Plagiarism is shameful

Pass! Nothing beats a B

Go MOBOT!!!!! OMG!

Cant stand the Brompton… have had one for years, but they cycle like crap. I paid £500 new 15years ago… same price as a specialised hard rock… now a hard rock is £600… a brommy is £1300… absolute rip off Really don’t understand why people love the bike so much I hope you don’t get scammed !!

My comment was deleted. Someone doesn't want you to buy a legal product.

Why bother buying a fake.

I hate clones, from the ethical standpoint, so I gave you a thumbs down for this video. But I have a Brompton, and you can try it if you want in the XI. district. I have a 6speed, but I just threw away the 2 speed derailleur from it, so now it has only a 3 speed IGH, but with wide gear ratios, it is a weird setup, but I love it. And my Brompton saw everything, I ride my bikes really hard :D.
