Powerful. Lightweight. Uncompromising.

Bromptons are brilliant and our UK-made kit is the only ebike conversion that retains the bike's authentic charm. Your Brompton will continue to fold fully and using F1 technology and precision manufacturing, the kit nestles perfectly in the rear triangle adding only 2.5kg to the weight.

With the motor providing power through the rear wheel, you can enjoy around 30km* of range while maintaining the same light and nimble steering you know and love.

Installation is a breeze - it takes less than 20 minutes - and once set up, settings can be adjusted effortlessly with our complimentary mobile app. Alternatively, you can opt for an additional remote display.

"Verdict: A winner for electrifying your Brompton; lighter, cheaper and more practical than other options. 4 stars."
Cycling Plus February 2025

"This kit is fantastic. I'm massively impressed with the plastic free packaging (Brompton, take note!), the ease of installation, the fact that it fits my almost 20-year-old Brompton with ~zero adjustment, the peppy little motor, and how little the extra weight affects the balance and handling. Oh, and the calibration is excellent - it kicks in and eases off at just the right moments, both on the flats and the hills. Boost, you are absolute stars!👏👏👏"

Our story

Founded in 2020 by Nick Bailey, Boost is a quintessential UK brand with a pioneering spirit and a distinct vision: to breathe new life into beloved bikes, transforming them into premium ebikes. Born out of passion, expertise and a commitment to innovation, Boost offers a seamless and enjoyable cycling experience that feels as natural as riding a regular bike.


"We aim for our cyclists to forget they're on an ebike and just enjoy the ride with a smooth Boost"

Nick Bailey


Nick Bailey created Boost as a company that would redefine the ebike sector. Bailey's motorsport passion and deep-rooted connection to British engineering have led to collaborations with industry leaders, including a partnership with Formula 1 parts manufacturers.


The ethos behind Boost is clear: create high-quality ebike conversion systems that are so integrated and intuitive that riders can focus solely on their journey, free from distractions and unnecessary complexities.


The Boost kit for Bromptons

The Boost ebike conversion kit, meticulously engineered in the UK, is a game-changer for Brompton enthusiasts.

Seamlessly integrating advanced F1 technology, this kit is a harmonious blend of form and function. It has been expertly designed to tuck into the rear triangle of your Brompton, ensuring the bike's iconic foldability remains uncompromised. Beyond the tech, the rear magic lies in the experience: around 30km* of range without sacrificing sharp steering and lively responsiveness that Brompton owners hold dear.

Engineering

Designed around the unique geometry of Brompton bicycles, we use top-tier materials and advanced techniques to ensure the drive system offers an uncomprised biking experience.

Authenticity

The system keeps the bike's easy-folding characteristics intact. With the motor at the back, it ensure light and nimble steering. We think this is how Brompton's original designer would have wanted a Brompton ebike to feel.

High-tech

Our battery casings are 3D printed in Silverstone, England, where we tap into the engineering mastery of British motorsport. The electronics are housed in a tiny 11mm high recess and the main system processor is from the same family as powers Apple's AirTags. The battery is made from ten high performance Samsung 3,500mAh cells.

Durability

A water-cut F1 spec Permaglass panel safeguards the battery enclosure, providing resilience and wear resistance.

Aesthetics

Fastended by titanium bolts available in five colours including gold and oil slick, it adds as little as 2.5kg to the bike's weight and the battery discreetly fits the bike's frame, staying in place even when folded.

Don't just take our word for it...


"I've had plenty of experience with the Brompton Electric and Cytronex Brompton, but on the short test ride I had on the Boost I came away more impressed by this compact system."

FAQ

How fast can I go?

The top speed of the Boost London conversion system is 15.5mph, which is the UK & EU speed limit for an electrically assisted bicycle. You can still pedal past this speed with good old fashioned leg power if you want to, as the motor adds no resistance!

How long does it take to charge?

The battery will charge in 3-4 hours. It is best practice to keeps these high performance Samsung cells topped up rather than fully discharging.

What support is available?

We have a customer support team who can assist you if you have any questions while fitting the system, or afterwards. Though we have designed the kit to be simply and easy to install, so there is no bike/mechanical knowledge necessary for installation. We have a network of over 100 UK bike shops and these are available to handle the upgrade for you for a small extra fee.

How much does it cost?

UK customers (includes VAT & shipping) £995. Overseas customers - £829 which does NOT include shipping because that is different for each country. Global shipping prices

We build each wheel in London to match the specifications and colour of your bike, so production time is 2-4 weeks.Purchasers in the UK can expect their system to arrive 3-5 days after it has been dispatched. Overseas order take 1-2 weeks to arrive, which can be delayed by your import customs.
