Brompton hands down is no.1! As its nicest looking and holds itβs value. On top of that as well as the servicing like you said on the video.
Please review UTO Pro20NE.
It checks every box on the paper.
19:54 Did Brompton ask you to say that twice?
I was looking into these bikes yesterday and then your video pops up today π
Canβt be best of 2026 when we are only 3 months in. Click bait alert.
Ill keep my 60ah teswayπ
I thought she had been on wine when she started talking about the Brompton π π
You may point up there but there ain't nothin y'all ain't pointin' at
Iβve never ridden an E bike but I am thinking about getting one, which is the considered the best out of cadence sensor and torque sensor ?
Who edited this video? They fell asleep at least three times
Another great Video! Hurry up with the Ahooga ones pleaseβ¦β¦..
As a recent e-scooter buyer I found a product that helps with tranporting a folded scooter or ebike, they make a shoulder carry strap with two looped ends you slip it onto your folded up scooter or bike and sling onto a shoulder yeah the scooter-bike is still heavy but supporting with a shoulder make getting on the train, stairs a bit easier.

Nearly gettin "doored" at 9min 55sec though π±
2:28 what a great view
You're so pretty Xx
Doh! Was just about to Buy now on the Ado Ultra. Now Iβm confused. The Brompton holding its value is a good point but that battery in a bag up front looks clunky.
