A friend of mine who is now 81 and lives in the South Wales valleys, decided to buy a Nano electric kit to go on is Brompton,cost £740.
He set it all up on his bike and it worked. However, the new front wheel they supplied, that included the motor in the hub, was absolutely appalling regarding it's build. The spokes were so lose that the bottom part of the spokes were not even seated in the chamfered holes. I know he sent for the kit, but, that wheel should have been built to a standard better than that. There should have been a notice tied onto a spoke stating it,s not fit to ride until a skilled person had finished it off, fit to ride.
A question, I know it was in kit form but shouldn't the wheel have been built fit for purpose?

Re: Brompton and Nano problem.
hey,
i work in a bike shop and had a similar problem build was awful! had to take it apart and re-build it myself was not happy!
spokes lose, threads still showing, spokes not laced properly, its a shame really these guys could do even better if they sorted this problem and got things posted out a tad quicker
