After more than 1 year's wait expectations for the Brompton gen 1 touring kit were high. Initially everything seemed to be working fine. Not for long though. On pretty much every ride the battery will shut off after 15-20 minutes of riding and becomes increasingly erratic after that. Support offered very little help. Since the kit is no longer offered I am out of luck. The offered fix: buy a new one. This kit has cost me more than 6 USD per mile. In the mean time the marketing emails keep coming in. My conclusion: overmarketed, under engineered and under supported. Very disappointed.
