Joe, It will be interesting to see if you end up using the electric portion or if you switch back to a normal wheel. In my short time i haven't seen a need for that (but i don't generally see the need for an ebike), especially given the tradeoff in weight--which you would feel even more as a % with a brompton.
It's great to see all the overlap between Rivs and Brommies. If anyone is considering the Ortlieb O-Bags, Brompton in the UK are closing out a few colors and given the weak pound it makes for a good deal with a hitch--they will not ship to the US so you'll need to find someone to proxy (either bringing it back or can mail it for you). It looks like mail will still run 40 pounds to the US, but even then it's a lot less than the US prices. If that doesn't work for you, i'd still keep an eye on the US sources to see if they close out the same bags in the next few weeks.
