About the Company

Brompton is a highly respected British manufacturer of bespoke folding bikes. Each bike is hand made in London. For many owners of our bikes, Brompton is part of their lifestyle and an expression of who they are. We enjoy riding our bikes too and we are proud of their success around the world.

As a brand, our vision is to transform how people live in cities. Our bike was conceived as a product which would increase people’s sense of independence and freedom, and this concept is still at the heart of everything we do. Brompton is widely acknowledged as the finest bike of its type: cleverly designed and beautifully made to be versatile, easy to use and durable. This excellence, combined with the resurgence in cycling for transport and leisure, means we are enjoying strong company growth.

Brompton Bicycle is privately-owned, successful, and profitable. We export 80% of our production to 44 countries around the globe, and we built over 50,000 bikes last year. But we believe we are just getting started.
