The pod itself is well-made and impressively sophisticated. It also adds surprisingly little compromise on the basic ride of the original Brompton. As well as being able to adjust the level of power via the handlebar-mounted controller, the “launch control” feature is very useful when needing to get ahead of the traffic at lights.

The beautifully made ARCC Intelligent Drive Pod works like magic, giving you extra oomph just when you need it, and now I actively seek short cuts across hills and don’t get left behind at the traffic lights anymore...it turns Notting Hill into Nothing Hill.'

 I’ve tried the bike on some steep London gradients and it changes a big sweat into a very light pleasant body heat. You do get a bit of proper exercise, unlike some electric bikes, but you get a lot more immediate payback for your effort.

The way in which the power delivery system has been integrated into the existing architecture of the Moulton is excellent. I actually find myself grinning when moving from stationary as the ‘launch assist’ kicks in.

Two heart attacks have left me with a damaged heart but with this system I am now again able to ride with my club-mates.
