FAQs

Are these tyres compatible with all Brompton models?

Yes, these tyres are designed specifically for Brompton bikes, including Brompton Electric models.

What is the recommended tyre pressure?

The recommended tyre pressure is printed on the sidewall of the tyre. Refer to this for optimal performance.

How do I prevent punctures?

Regularly check your tyres for embedded objects, maintain proper inflation, and consider using puncture-resistant sealant if desired.

Can I use these tyres on a non-Brompton bike?

While the tyres can physically fit some 16" wheels, they are optimized for Brompton bikes and may not offer the same performance on other bikes.

How long do these tyres typically last?

Tyre lifespan depends on riding conditions, rider weight, and maintenance. Regular inspection and proper care will help extend the life of your tyres.

What is the E50 rating?

The E50 rating means the tyres are suitable for e-bikes with speeds up to 25km/h.

What should I do if I get a flat tire?

Remove the wheel, locate the puncture in the tube, repair or replace the tube, and re-inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure.

Troubleshooting

Tyre is losing air.

Check for punctures by visually inspecting the tyre and tube. If a puncture is found, repair or replace the tube and inspect the tyre for any embedded objects.

Ensure tyres are inflated to the recommended pressure. Consider reducing speed and riding more cautiously.
