Brompton Electric P Line 4-speed - Mid Handlebar: the comparison

This mid-bar Electric P Line uses Brompton’s earlier front-hub drive and 300Wh luggage-mounted battery on the lightweight titanium-and-steel P Line chassis. It remains a compact, quick four-speed commuter, but shoppers should understand that it is not the newer rear-motor e-Motiq specification.
