> Bromptons are expensive

Half the price of a Kwiggle [1]. Seems like a bargain to me.

[1] Comparing apples to apples, the base Brompton is a 3-speed for 850 euros. The 3-speed Kwiggle is 1690.




In which country can you get (a new) Brompton so cheaply?


When I go their website right now (from the U.S.), I see the base model on sale for 850 pounds.


Oh, I didn't realize you could even buy them direct now. I was looking at >~£1200 in shops or ~£1400 for the models in stock where I got mine. (The cheapest used to be single speed, and 3-speed is stretching it for non-trivial hills like the scarp round here.)


Without shipping or customs...

US dealers that sell them seem to start around $1600


that's like 1000€
