This is on the Brompton site. Looks like an interesting line-up to me, and new bags too. The pre-order link doesn’t go anywhere interesting though. I bought a C-line 12 speed electric very recently (which I absolutely love) for the discounted price, so I knew this was likely. Hoping I don’t get too much envy for the new ones though!

Cool! I can’t see the motor…
Those are rear motors there? Maybe from the G-Line?
Is that a T-Line Electric bottom right?
nice! Didn’t expect them to go to rear hub motor. A T-line electric is going to be pushing the boundaries of pricing
Edit: See below. ~~Those look like G lines and the bags look like the existing G line bags in new colors.~~
I’m crossing my fingers that some of them might be offered with for the C line. Didn’t BB UK say they would fit if if the frames were swapped?
Two other things I see 1) the one on the left has a carbon fork and T Line-looking steering tube but steel frame 2) the T-Line-looking one seems to have a different crankset to the T.
It’s about time they moved to a rear hub design. Gyroscopically, front hubs are horrendous. Well done Brompton. Can’t wait for the price tag 😂
No more 12 speed? Only 4-speed rear electric looks like top to bottoms: G, C, P & T … will be interesting to see what they do. MAJOR update!
EDIT: I bet they keep the 12 speed with the front wheel motor. And discontinue the Old four speeds with the front wheel motor for these new configurations.
Better angle pic here, L-R, all new electric 4-spd C, P, T, G:

Where is the web link? Can you share?? or where did you get this from?
Not cracked about those colours. The silver-grey bag is less ugly than the usual bags, perhaps.
Got my C line electric last week, I think I may actually be happy overall. Did a non-assisted recreational ride today and the 12 speed was excellent. Not sure I would like only 4.
That said, handlebar controls for the motor would be excellent and a little birdy told me the new C line has a spacer at the back along with the 4 gears, so I could be upgraded with 7 gears.
Anyway, have to stick with what I’ve got now!
Is that a P line with carbon fork and threadless headset from T line?
They look way better than the current front hub motor designs. I still would like to see disc brakes on an electric bike or on all of them actually.
