Ti brompton clones- any thoughts?

Whelp, I just backed the Swytch brompton e-bike kit.

I am seriously thinking of getting a Chinese titanium brompton clone, and building it up.

After having my brompton for a while, I have to agree with Raxel that the components are mediocre at best...but the frame, front luggage, and fold are very clever!

Would you mind educating me on the titanium brompton clones?


Also, would love suggestions on how to hypothetically build one up.

It would be super fun to make a parts-caster clone brompton that outperforms the original (weight, e-bike, etc)

Your best bet will be eBay. There are a few different companies, but EasyTi seems like a popular one.

Another option is to just keep your existing frame and then modify it with Ti parts.
