Electric Brompton delayed
From A to B magazine, Feb. 2018, p. 6:
Following unexpected technical issues, the Electric Brompton model has been set back yet again, with September 2018 now seen as the earliest likely launch date. Shop managers have reportedly been told not to take further orders for the time being. And that really is all we know!

I thought you could reserve one in the UK but they weren't being delivered yet:
https://www.brompton.com/brompton-gb...24/c-77/p-2897
..and the rest of the world gets access later. But if the A to B news is correct, UK residents might have to wait until September to take delivery.

Brompton will retail at about the £2750 mark. You'll see the info on the UK website.

There's a fascinating comparison / review of the new electric Brompton vs. the Nano Brompton in A to B, Aug. 2017, p. 20. I believe you can download a single copy for 99p from Exact Editions.

The Brompton factory website is vague about actual ship/delivery dates ("mid-2018") but UK-region folks can still put a Brompton Electric reservation (£200) in the cart.
