So I've tried a few different electrics as a longhaul trucker. First I had a Lectric XPLite 2.0 folding bike. I loved having it but it was just too bulky and took up too much room in the semi. I then went to a Onewheel Pint S which is a blast but not practical for shopping trips away from the truck stops. I then went with a GoTrax G7 e scooter, again it was just too bulky and I was tripping on it.
The scooter was how I discovered Bromptons. I got a flat about a mile from https://maps.app.goo.gl/HZjT61iDqBfKe63q7?g_st=ac Mike's bike shop in Battle Creek, MI. I went to get my flat fixed there and he showed me the Bromptons he had in stock. As soon as I picked one up I knew I was buying it.
So here's my first Brompton C, I'm so stoked. I'll be taking it on the road for the first time this Tuesday.

Great choice OP! Welcome to the fold! Just wait till you get a rear rolling rack and then you’ll be ready for anything!
I was actually thinking to myself if I was a long haul truck driver or spent most of my working life on the road, a Brompton would be a great solution to do short errands, sight-see or an easy way to get some exercise. Great choice, congratulations!
