The video says it all.. Quite an awesome product.  Wondering if anyone in the Washington, DC managed to snag one of these bikes? If you are a proud owner of a Brampton and you are reading this, please drop a note (in the “Comments” section below) sharing your personal experience riding/owning this beauty. Though the bikes are made towards the Urban commuter market, it seems to be very versatile as shown in this BBC video.  Also to note is the fast growing popularity of these bikes – 30,000 units churned out of the Brampton factory per year – despite the steep price (around $1400 – $1600 as seen on the web).  It will be nice to know what it feels like to ride one of these.
