I made a thorough blog post about Bea, my new electric Brompton G-Line bike. I discuss why she's a good fit for my chronic illness needs, why I chose the G-Line over other models, contrast her with my current e-bike, and give a breakdown of the financial end of things.

Bike news, for anyone keeping up with my #Rivendell savings: I have changed my bike goals!
After much thought and (so) many YouTube videos, I'm choosing to save for a #Brompton electric G-Line, instead. Yeah, this model is actually more expensive than the Riv. But it's SO much better for my situation as a person with chronic health issues. I can ride out from home (with the assist that helps me so much already on my current e-bike) and if I need a ride back, I could easily fold it and step on a bus or into an Uber. This scenario has happened several times so it's a real concern, not a theoretical.
I can also take it into stores and appts. with me (the very real risk of a Riv getting stolen has become increasingly stressful over the last few months).
I had a Brommie years ago, and it's one of the few things I've truly regretted selling. So the normal-bike-to-Brompton adjustment won't be an issue, I've done that already.
