Brompton Folding Demo.wmv

This Brompton M6R is installed with Ezy wheels and when it is folded, you can effortlessly roll it around using the seatpost. All you need is just a strip of Velcro to secure the rear wheel to the main frame. Demonstrated by Steven of www.Diginexx.com (Singapore)

Is this much different from putting the seat down but leaving the handlebar up and pushing by that?

Forgot to mention - when I say I've been wheeling my Brompton around, seat post up and NO strap, I mean over all kinds of surfaces - streets, sidewalks, carpet, etc. and over bumpy door thresholds. I also tilt it up when rounding corners - all of this without it unfolding. It has really surprised me how much jostling it can take and remain folded.

Well, I've spent a couple of weeks now wheeling my Brompton around with seat post up but WITHOUT strapping it, and the only time it started to unfold was once when I actually lifted the bike to carry it down one step - no big deal, just lifted the front wheel and re-hooked it. In fact, I just noticed that my velcro strap is gone and I have no idea how long it's been missing. Once again, two thumbs up, Diginexx! Love my Brompton...

Diginexx - A couple of weeks ago I noticed as I was wheeling my Brompton with the seat post up that I had forgotten to use my velcro strap. Much to my surprise I found that the bike stayed folded. Since then I have continued to wheel it this way and not once did it begin to unfold. I suppose the bike would be more prone to opening if I lifted it, but who lifts their folded Brompton with the seat post up? What a great time-saver. This make my super-convenient Brompton even more convenient!

Great idea, I use this method now, but I pull the Brompton behind me. I drop the saddle to the hight of my hand with my arm relaxed by my side. I have taken my Brommie into government buildings, shopping centres and department stores with no problems or confrontations, just some strange looks. I put the cover on of course and just have the saddle sticking out a little.

This is absolutely BRILLIANT. I've been using Diginexx's method of wheeling around my Brompton ever since I watched this video. When done this way the bike's footprint is at its minimum and is so easy to roll around. One additional thing I do is to rotate the seat post so the seat is facing backwards - that way the front of the seat becomes a neat "handle." Thank you Diginexx - just BRILLIANT!

Great Video !!

I think this method of rolling when folded is MUCH better than the 'official brompton way' (with the bars up) which feels too 'clonky' to me.
