The most prohibitive thing may be the cost - about US$1,000 for the base model but I love the idea of being able to remove it easily (less than 10 seconds to install/uininstall) and use the Brompton as per normal.
The ShareRoller is a great idea. It unfortunately blocks the Brompton carrier block

Edit: They actually have a solution! Checkout the quote below:
You may have noticed that the ShareRoller might interfere with using the front luggage block. And it does. By about 1/2 inch. Which is why we’ve created an adapter block that mounts to the luggage block, and positions your front basket/bag just high enough to clear the ShareRoller, but well clear of the handlebars. We’ll upload pictures of this in use shortly.
Please upload pictures when you receive it keyven!
