Rent a Brompton? Is there such a thing? Brompton Experiences, a Singapore Brompton rental service offers brand new 2020 models for avid PCN cyclists. Cycling has no doubt become a popular activity during this pandemic and its great way to exercise and distress as you discover Singapore's unique network of Park Connectors.  There is more than meets the eye when it comes to the benefits of renting a Brompton. Here are some reasons why Renting is a good idea. 

1) Matching the right model to your profile Renting allows you to get a hands-on experience of Brompton before purchase. By doing so, you would be able to determine which model suits your profile best before you make the purchase.


At a glance, the S model looks more attractive than the M model. Yet after a 2-hour ride, some would feel that the ride profile is too low and would prefer a more relaxed riding stance, via the M bar. It creates a more upright position that reduces the amount of leaning forward, saving your lower back and wrists from sore aches. Unlike other folding bicycles the Brompton's handle bar cannot be adjusted and therefore selecting the right height is important.

 


2) Save on premiums Renting a Brompton allows you to establish the need for it in your lifestyle, ensuring that it is capable of meeting your needs.  

We have come across many potential owners who insist that the 6 speed Brompton is a must for their purchase but are not aware of the weight difference between the 6 speed and 2 speed Brompton due largely to the hub gear system that is used. Understanding your regular ride pattern and terrain also helps in selecting appropriate gears. By renting you can test 2, 3 and 6 speed models and have first hand experience on a proper ride. 


Is the extra cost and weight penalty of a 6 speed Brompton a necessity? Especially when you can accomplish your ride with a 2-speed Brompton. Rent a Brompton before you purchase, and you can save on hefty premiums.


Also in view of the limited availability of units, renting allows you to still have that ideal ride without being forced to pay high premiums on new or pre owned units.

3) No worry about the maintenance

A Brompton must be properly taken care of. On average, thorough cleaning of the Brompton would take 3 hours, where regular maintenance would take 1/2 an hour. Starting to sound too troublesome for you? Leave the maintenance to us and you would never have to worry about Brompton's long-term performance. From the moment you pick up the Brompton, it has been cleaned and sanitized, it is ready to go!

4) Great to empower your events


Renting is perfect for a one-time event, where it is a much cheaper alternative compared to buying multiple units. Whether it is a family activity for 4 or a corporate outing for 8, riding in style atop a Brompton will definitely be a unique and memorable highlight. The preparation before the ride and maintenance after the ride will all be taken care of by us, allowing you to dedicate more time to other activities.
