Hi, so basically my wife and I took 2 Brommies for a test ride, she got the M shape handlebar and I got the S post,The flat handlebar was way too low for me and I am only 5'6, there isn't a way to adjust the height ... Too bad. The brakes power was poor, it maybe enough for cruising but not for serious riding- like 15-20 KPH.
The gears are hard to operate, there are so many nice shifters nowadays I can't understand why they are still using those ones. Overall I felt like the ride quality compare to my Dahon Mu is like night and day.
I tried the bike with the M shape handlebar, it was more comfortable but there is no way I will pay $1500+tax for a Brommie. I was very disappointed.... I have to say is folds nicely, but my wife and I didn't enjoy the ride at all.
